Did you change your LinkedIn and eHarmony passwords yet? Good. Now, go change your Last.fm password, too. The company just announced on its blog that it is "currently investigating the leak of some Last.fm user passwords," and that it advises all users "to change their passwords immediately" — just as a precaution, of course.
At the moment, few details are available about the severity of the possible Last.fm password leak. And it is not clear whether the leak of LinkedIn and eHarmony passwords are in any way connected to the Last.fm warning. Regardless, if you use Last.fm, it would be prudent to change your password. And, as we've said before, if you use the same password for Last.fm as you do for other services, you'll need to your password for those sites as well.
To learn how to choose a hard-to-crack password, see here, or here.
The ongoing wave of leaked passwords first percolated into the news Wednesday morning, as 6.5 million encrypted LinkedIn passwords, and 1.5 million encrypted eHarmony passwords were posted to a Russian hacker site so that they could be cracked. At this time, roughly 3.5 million of the LinkedIn passwords have been cracked — up from 300,000 the day before.
To stay up on the Last.fm situation, the company recommends watching their Twitter feed (@Lastfm), where they will post updates on the situation. We will update this space with further news, as well.

Thread starter #1
✩ Signature of the Month ✩
SOTW means Signature of the Month. It is a 'monthly' signature contest. The signature which wins the contest will be placed in the SOTM Hall of Fame, and the user who submitted it, will get a temporary larger avatar, colored cyan name (both on request) and this SOTM Medal:
A second and third winner will be announced in case the entries are 10 or more in number. The user who submitted it will get the medal. The winners can get a name change if they wish.
1st Place - ✪ Signature of The Month
Coloured User Name
One Name change (optional)
2nd Place - ✪Signature of The Month
One Name change (optional)
3rd Place - ✪ Signature of The Month
**If more than 20 participants are joining winners will also have one month premium in addition to regular awards.
The contest starts when the next theme is posted, which is done soon after the previous contest has finished. Submitting lasts till the end of the month and during that time you can send your submissions via PM to Avani. She will then post all the submissions, directly after the deadline is passed, into a poll. This is done to prevent voting for "beloved ones", to make voting as objective as it can be. The exact dates are always mentioned in the thread that announces the theme of that month.
Rules & Guidelines:
- Maximum size for the signature has to be 450x200 (horizontal or vertical and a few pixels more or less don't matter). Total file size must not be over 1 MB.
- The submissions must be self made, so no stealing other's people's work
- Only one signature per person, though you can change/edit your submission if you want as long as the poll hasn't been posted yet.
- The submitted work must match the given theme
- No author sign in the signature, it must be anonymous
- After the signatures are anonymously submitted, you can not tell anyone what signature was made by you and, obviously, you can't use it as a signature/avatar during the contest
- Voting with multiple accounts is not allowed, and neither is asking people to vote for you.
- If you want to suggest a theme, please do so here.

Boy rag quilts for sale
I made two boysih rag quilts that a local mom backed out on...
They are about 48inch wide by 64 inches tall. They are made of flannel and ready to go.
One has balls, trucks, cars, planes with orange, blue and greens. The other has balls, skulls, animals with red, green and browns.
I don't have any use for them, and they've never been used. All sewn by myself. They would make a perfect, unique gift for any boy 2-10 years old!! Christmas or birthday present!
Thinking of asking $45ppd for each one. Or I will do both for $80ppd.

Johannesburg - An exciting new sevens rugby tournament, named 7'sPL, will hit Outeniqua Park, George on December 14 and 15 this year, it was announced in the Southern Cape town.
The announcement was made official on Tuesday after Sport24 reported about the event on Sunday.
The tournament, with prize money of R1 million, will be run by the South-Western Districts Rugby Union (SWDRU) and in conjunction with Willem Strauss Sports Promotions.
The SA Rugby Union (SARU) granted permission in 2011 through its Games and Competitions Committee for the hosting of a Sevens Tournament in George.
Twelve teams will participate in the competition.
SWD president Hennie Baartman said at the announcement of the tournament that the competition would add value to the region.
"We have a responsibility to our community to work hard and create opportunities," Baartman said.
"This tournament fits that bill perfectly. We still have the capacity and people to host an event of this magnitude."
This will bring stability to the SWDRU and allow locals much needed top flight rugby, he said.
Baartman added that the competition would also provide and economic boost to the region.
"The whole region suffered when the International Rugby Board World Series was moved from George and in talks with SARU, provincial government, local municipalities and the business community all confirmed that we need something to replace it," he said.
Sports promoter Strauss, who is well known in organising big rugby events, was tasked by the SWD to run the event.
Strauss said George was the logical choice as a venue and sevens the perfect code to kick-start this new concept.
"George hosted the IRB tournament successfully for many years and has the infrastructure and ability to do something similar," Strauss said.
"The date of the tournament will also suit the region perfectly as the Southern Cape will be awash with tourists from all over the country."

Using Wing with mod_wsgi
Wing is a Python IDE that can be used to develop, test, and debug Python code that is running under mod_wsgi. Two versions of Wing are appropriate for use with this document: Wing Pro is the full-featured Python IDE for professional programmers, and Wing Personal is a free alternative with reduced feature set.
If you do not already have Wing installed, download it now.
This document describes how to configure Wing for mod_wsgi. To get started using Wing as your Python IDE, please refer to the tutorial in Wing's Help menu or read the Quickstart Guide.
Debugging Setup
When debugging Python code running under mod_wsgi, the debug process is initiated from outside of Wing, and must connect to the IDE. This is done with wingdbstub according to the instructions in the Debugging Externally Launched Code section of the manual.
Because of how mod_wsqi sets up the interpreter, be sure to set kEmbedded=1 in your copy of wingdbstub.py and use the debugger API to reset the debugger and connection as follows:
import wingdbstub wingdbstub.Ensure()
Then click on the bug icon in lower left of Wing's window and make sure that Accept Debug Connections is checked. After that, you should be able to reach breakpoints by loading pages in your browser.
Disabling stdin/stdout Restrictions
In order to debug, may also need to disable the WSGI restrictions on stdin/stdout with the following mod_wsgi configuration directives:
WSGIRestrictStdin Off WSGIRestrictStdout Off

European Folic Acid Policies Are Not Effective Enough
Article ID: 510337
Released: 9-Mar-2005 11:20 AM EST
Source Newsroom: British Medical Journal
Available for logged-in reporters only
Preventing neural tube defects in Europe: population based study BMJ Volume 330, pp 574-5
Newswise — The prevalence of neural tube defects in Europe has not declined substantially in the past decade, despite national policies of folic acid supplementation in half the countries, finds a study in this week's BMJ.
Each year, more than 4500 pregnancies in the European Union are affected by neural tube defects.
Researchers examined trends in the prevalence of neural tube defects in 16 European countries between 1980 and 2001, according to their folic acid policies during that time.
They found no substantial decline in neural tube defect rates in Continental Europe in the past decade, and although levels in the United Kingdom and Ireland fell by 32% (a continuation of a long-standing decline) they remain higher than levels in Continental Europe.
These data suggest that policies recommending supplementation of folic acid before conception and during early pregnancy in planned pregnancies are not effective enough, say the authors.
They explain that many women may not receive or respond to health promotion messages stressing the need to commence supplementation before conception, or may remain unaware that changes in diet are unlikely to achieve sufficient folate intake, and a large proportion of pregnancies in most countries are unplanned.
Folate status of most women of childbearing age could be raised by fortifying a staple food with folic acid, which would also help to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of neural tube defects, they write.
The potential for preventing neural tube defects in Europe by raising folate status is still far from being fulfilled, and it is unacceptable to continue to rely mainly on prenatal screening and termination to reduce the number of babies born with neural tube defects, they conclude.

Khloe Kardashian appears to have confirmed her relationship with Tristan Thompson.
The 32-year-old was caught in a steamy embrace with a hunky man on Snapchat last night during a night out, with fans claiming he looked strikingly similar to the Cleveland Cavaliers star.
A pal caught the pair kissing on his camera phone while he was making a Snapchat video.
In the clip, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star lovingly places her hands on either side of her companion's face, as she leans in planting a number of kisses on his lips.
Unable to wipe the smile off her face, Khloe looked completely smitten with her man.
We have contacted Khloe's reps for comment.
According to In Touch magazine, the couple have actually "been secretly dating for a while," despite being first linked at the start of this month.
A source told the publication that the pair are "getting serious" and Khloe is even looking for a new home "with the intention of living there with Tristan."
Earlier this week, the gym-bunny was pictured with a 'love bite' on her neck as she joked around in a Snapchat video with niece Penelope and nephew Mason.
And on Monday, Khloe dropped even more hints that she is dating the pro athlete as they were caught on camera sharing a cheeky kiss during a Drake concert.
The reality star and younger sister of Kim Kardashian appeared smitten as she slowly danced with her taller man, packing on the PDA throughout the show.
As they swayed in each other's arms, Khloe slowly looked up the star, before he appeared to lean down and kiss her.
Khloe has a history of dating basketball players.
After her marriage to Lamar Odom she dated James Harden and was linked to Odell Beckham Jr, though insisted she was just friends with the latter.
However Khloe's love life had taken a backseat over the last year while she cared for estranged husband Odom, following his near-fatal overdose last October.

There are two pieces of cake, and Alphie and Beth both want the larger piece. Their argument gets more and more heated, until finally Beth takes a deep breath and says, "Wait, let's think about this. What would be a good way to divide the cake?"
Alphie answers, "We should each get the same amount of cake."
Beth says, "Yes, that would be fair."
They proceed to divide the pieces of cake so that each gets an equal amount, and both are content.
For Kitcher, the ethical project begins in social conflict: specifically, altruism failures. Alphie and Beth both have desires. Altruism would lead them to satisfy the other's desire. Without sufficient altruism, they come into conflict.
The conflict can be resolved if they can find a rule that they both agree to. Kitcher sees ethics as a social technology for resolving conflicts. There can be progress in ethics, but it's not progress towards some abstract Good (which he doesn't think exists). Rather, it's progress away: away from social conflict.
He compares it to other kinds of technology: there's no "ideal airplane" that engineers are working toward. There are only technical problems - how to go faster, carry more, be more reliable - that can be solved bit by bit. The solutions to the current set of problems reveals, or creates, new problems that must be solved in turn. And so technology progresses.
Without the social technology afforded by ethical principles, hominids would never have gotten beyond small roving bands, Kitcher suggests. Ethics allowed us to live in larger groups, more peaceably. Greater cooperation led to greater evolutionary success. And so ethics progressed.
Ethics is our invention. Human beings do not discover ethical truths....
We create them.

Starting the process of learning RubyPosted by ingalls on 18 March 2013 in English (English)
I'm in the process of getting myself caught up with the Ruby on Rails Port.
So far I've found this: https://github.com/tlpinney/osmdevbox Which claims to be able to get me set-up very quickly with the latest and greatest code.
I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on getting started or would be willing to put their name forward as someone who I could fire off question to as I had them?
Comment from Richard on 18 March 2013 at 12:49
Best place to ask questions is probably the #osm-dev IRC channel - lots of developers hang out there.

The World Cup is OVER L. Germany are well deserved champions! And the vivid images of a very 'latin' tournament are beginning to fade. Copacabana is quiet again. The Fan Zone, full of hopeful Argentinians just a few days ago is already dismantled. Life is slowly returning to normal and I'm fighting severe post-partum withdrawal symptoms. But guess what: machinations for the Euro 2016 are already under way!
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Here's my typical and rather quick synopsis:
What I knew:
- That the trophy will eventually go to one of the favorites. Check.
- That none the 'surprise' teams will not make it to the semifinals (they typically don't have the squad depth and tactical experience to last that long). Check (Columbia and Belgium came close this time)
- That one or two HUGE upsets will undoubtedly happen (meaning elimination in the group stage). Check for Spain, Italy, England and Portugal
- That Messi (and it pains me to say this, because I think he's the greatest of his generation) would not be able to carry his team all the way, like Maradona did (I actually had them lose to Belgium in the QF). In the end, it was the team that actually carried a lackluster Messi all the way to the final… where he failed to deliver. Major disappointment, I might add… But one can't leave a very big mark on the tournament with only moments of brilliance here and there. I was actually surprised – like many others – to see him win the Golden Ball…
- That African countries – despite huge talents – are yet to learn that soccer is a team sport. Check. Sure, Nigeria and Algeria made it through the groups, but Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Ghana have collectively disappointed
- That Eastern Europeans never fare that well. Check. Football in that region has been declining en masse
- That beautiful football – as much as pleasing to the eye – will never win tournaments. Check. Although Columbia, France (at least in the group stage) and the Dutch gave it a valiant try.
- That home support – no matter how strong – will make all the difference. Right Brazil?
- That Spain would make it to the final again! Oh, boy… Still no words…
- That USA will leave pointless and Klinsmann would depart. RESPECT, boys! And apologies again!
- Spain, Italy, England (partially) and Portugal going beyond the group stages (at least…;-)
- What I learned:
- Pragmatism wins matches (and ultimately tournaments)
- Teams can't rely on one player, no matter how big of a talent. Sure, Maradona did single-handedly win it in '86, but he could not repeat the feat for years later… incidentally, both those finals were a rematch of the one that just ended
- Defense is more and more the key and games are played on a razor's edge one elimination is as stake. Although this was one of the highest scoring tournaments – thanks in part to Germany, Netherlands, Columbia, and [on both ends] Brazil – 12 of the 16 games in the elimination stage were decided by one goal. If you don't count the second French goal against Nigeria [92nd minute, when the game was already over] and the two disaster showings by Brazil against Germany and the Dutch, then the only other one that wasn't close was Columbia – Uruguay [and that one would have been different if Suarez had more common sense than brains]; so practically, all the games past the group stage were VERY close. Four of them were decided on penalties, three on extra time, and at least a couple in the dying seconds. Drama indeed. I'm wondering how many heart attacks this tournament has caused. Surely that stat is out there somewhere. That should be a tough one for Google!
- This was INDEED a South American 'home' tournament. Aside from Ecuador, all other teams (and even all the Central American ones) have made it through the group stages!
- Team spirit, drive and HEART are greater than any preparation, tactical know-how, star status or previous achievement. Just look at Costa Rica (RESPECT to the Ticos), USA (especially against Portugal), Chile (in kicking Spain out of the tournament) or Algeria (for standing up to Germany as much as they did)
- The Maracanã dream come true! Thank you again Ken, James, Rubens, Felipe, Meaghan… and GOD!
- The joy of making others' dreams come true. Again, Ken, James, Felipe, Joaco and Yaron: my pleasure!
- Football across a continent where people breathe, eat and drink this stuff! I think for the next world cup – in Russia – I'll make plans to travel to South America again. It will definitely be more fun!
- Rio! Live and in all its color!
- Olivia Alves - a great Brazilian and brand new friend!
- The greatest anomaly in the history of the sport! [yes, Germany absolutely humiliating the hosts]. What was surprising to me, is that Brazil was supporting their destroyers 5 days later. That's how great their hate against their neighbors to the south is!
- Messi playing live and scoring the decider against Bosnia! [last year on Camp Nou when I saw Barcelona-Malaga he didn't play; was injured]
- The Fan Zone on Copacabana!
- Fantastic people across Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and especially Brazil.

A total of 76 such seats will be fitted into Boeing 777-300 jets at a cost of 50 million euros ($70 million), the company said as it showed off the new offering in an expenses-paid trip for journalists to China's commercial hub.
Air travel in Asia is set to take off as growing middle classes take to the skies, prompting increasing competition for well-heeled passengers, and industry expert Didier Brechemier, of the Roland Berger Strategy consultancy, said that "first class is a tool in terms of image".
The launch came days after the Emirati airline Etihad revealed a first-class sofa that converts into a bed extending 2.04 metres long and 66 centimetres wide, which will go into Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 planes.Singapore Airlines currently boasts the most spacious first-class seat, which it revealed in July last year at 2.08 metres by 90 centimetres.
First class occupies just a sliver of the air-travel market, with Air France's 52,000 such customers a year representing an occupancy rate of 38 percent, 0.3 percent of total long-haul passengers and 1.8 percent of long-haul revenue, said Bruno Matheu, head of Air France's passenger business.
But with return ticket prices averaging 9,000 euros ($12,500) across the company's network the luxury seats are highly profitable and he said they "generate more revenue than if we filled that space with economy or business-class seats".

Traffic Sign I (Photo credit: Reverend Pain)
Perhaps the single greatest time in a young man's life is the year he spends in his bachelor pad. It's the one place he can make his own without influence from females whatsoever. Often, the decorative influence comes from sports—i.e. signed Yankees memorabilia around the TV, a small toy basketball hoop on the door, a few collectors' Barry Sanders and Larry Byrd jerseys on the walls.
And don't forget the road signs.
Big, thin, sturdy and versatile, traffic road signs can act as simple wall hangs, a coffee tables, doors; it's completely up to the bachelor (and what kind of ladies he wants to impress).
A clever guy might send subliminal messages with a pedestrian crossing sign to communicate masculinity and strength. It shows that this very eligible bachelor can handle his business and still see to it that others in his herd get safely out of harm's way. Too far-fetched? Maybe.
But there are other warning signs that are popular among bachelors, both for their impression on the ladies and other dudes.
"Men at Work" is probably the one single sign that sums it all up. Whether referencing the office or the court, the club or the field, men who have it all together truly are at work. And they've got the slammin' apartment to prove it. It signals to ladies that this man is looking for a good time. After all—work hard, play hard.
Road signs, however, are not all ideal. Some signs are major turn-offs.
For example, any hazard signs that warn of biological hazards, contaminants, wide loads, or anything denoting trouble ahead are a major signal that this particular bachelor pad has nothing to offer except danger.
Many bachelors don't care to be too fancy. Most don't try to overthink it. Sometimes it's about the effort you don't put in more so than the effort you do.
In that case, stick with simplicity.
A classic stop sign is the perfect accoutrement to an interior design that features Spartan walls and open space. This dark red octagon is just imposing enough without being overbearing. Many bachelors choose not to hang it, but instead anchor it flat on top of an older, uglier coffee table. Voila! This kind of creativity show just how independent you can be, and what kind of handyman you are.
Choose carefully what kind of sign you go with for your bachelor pad, it can say a lot about you.

The Virgo is a very intelligent person, being all about the mind and expanding it's intelligence. They are calm and collected on the outside, but inside they are fighting a nervous intensity to understand everything, improve all that they see and provide deep analysis.
The mind is constantly working and the need to constantly improve and perfect can be very tiring.
Due to their draw to perfection, Virgo's can be quite picky, but this is only because they want something to be the best that it can be. Why do something, or create something, when it could have been done better in the first place?
Virgo's are honest and pure, they never go behind someones back even though they're drive for success is huge. They would much rather get there on their own merit, rather than stabbing someone in the back, or god forbid, taking credit for someone else idea! Logical and great thinkers, if you know someone who is thoughtful and greatly intelligent, chances are they're a Virgo.
- Virgo Symbol: The Virgin
- Virgo Element: Earth
- Virgo Ruler: Mercury
- Virgo Colour: Navy Blue
- Virgo Numbers: 3, 5
- Virgo Gemstone: Sapphire
- Virgo Strengths: Reliable, Analytical, Helpful, Precise, Observant
- Virgo Weaknesses: Cold, Skeptical, Interfering, Fussy, Inflexible
- Virgo Celebrities: Leo Tolstoy, Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, Johann Bach, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, H. G. Wells, Jimmy Connors, Queen Elizabeth I, Gloria Estefan, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, D. H. Lawrence, Keanu Reeves
Profile of a Virgo
Virgo's are very independent, using their innate intelligence to accomplish whatever they set out to do. This intelligence also converts into resourcefulness, meaning they rarely have to ask anyone else for their help. Sometimes this narrow mindedness stifles their own creativity and they end up in a career, which they master quickly and become bored of.
Virgo's have a habit of living in the past, the constantly analyse past events and see what improvements could have been made or how they could have done things differently. This causes them to not be fully in the present, and inhibits their ability to move forward in life. Very often it can be like having a conversation with a black wall, as the Virgo has retreated into their own minds, deep in thought.
When you become friends with a Virgo, you'll find them to be loyal, trustworthy and determined. However, initially you may find them a little cold. This is down to the fact that they spend so much time in their heads, that they don't outwardly display emotion very well. They're not being cold towards you at all, its just the latest conundrum they're trying to work through. Virgo's can sometimes come across as a little controlling as they tell you how they would act in your shoes. But this is because of their need to improve things, and what you see is meddling, they see as helpful advice.
Virgo's are known for their intelligence, having excellent memories and highly analytical minds, making them excellent scientists, investigators or researchers. They can probe into a persons emotions and discover motive, where no one else might see it. They are highly logical and excellent problem solvers. Being rational thinkers, they are also very good at breaking up others disputes, preferring to keep the world in order.
Virgo's aren't spontaneous, preferring to sit back and analyse a situation from all angles before committing. This can sometimes make them seem indecisive. They can be out of touch with their own feelings, in that they are so concentrated on thought that they ignore the other aspects of their bodies. If they can learn to become as intone with their emotions as they are with their thoughts, Virgo will become very happy indeed.
The need for organisation is paramount to the Virgo and sometimes they spend too much time organising their thoughts that their surroundings become messy. This is not good as it effects them without their knowing. They should always strive to surround themselves with a tidy environment as a cluttered environment, can lead to a cluttered mind! The habit of overanalysing can hold a Virgo back and they need to learn that their is a cut off point. That at a certain point you just have to draw a line under an event and move on. If they can learn to do this, they will begin to live life more fully.

Have you seen these mirror trays that are so in these days? well, I wanted one for my jewellery but did not want to pay the costly tag......I saw one at Winners for $ 29 bucks, ouch!
But, believe it or not, at the same store (!!!) , I struck gold: something with a price tag that makes me much, much happier: $3 dollars!!!! Only detail: it was not a tray...it was a frame! So, what is the problem? see..it "was" a picture frame.
Frame ...now, you are a tray, ok? She is a very very obedient frame:0)
All I had to do is to buy a dollar store small mirror to put in the center.
I like the chunkiness of it as well.
A thrifty triumph!

Compact, manoeuvrable and extremely flexile: That's a KNAUS camper van! From the BOXSTAR to the BOXDRIVE, you will find countless models with even more layouts and a plethora of options that will turn your holiday into a very special adventure. What is absolutely great about our camper vans: Due to their well‐designed layouts with spacious loading volume and their easy handling, they are perfectly suited for everyday use. That is freedom that inspires!
In the new BOXSTAR, we combine state‐of‐the‐art technology such as LED lighting, closed insulation with comfort features from the upmarket motorhome sector.
A camper van should be one thing above all else: Practical. But that certainly does not mean that it cannot also be good looking. From the modern and tasteful colour concepts, the atmospheric lighting and the many small details, there is a whole lot to see.
Whether it's the kitchen cabinets with openings on both sides or the innovative lifting bed in the back of the BOXLIFE, or rather the high‐quality soft‐close drawers and the overhead cabinets in the BOXSTAR. For us, perfect functionality is important. All the way down to the smallest detail.
Comfort and safety are important to us. For example, with the closing aid of the sliding door that ensures the simple and especially quiet closing of the door. Or in the newly designed pilot comfort seats. These are not just nice to look at, but are very comfortable to sit in. Even after several hours.
Sophisticated cabinetry is also our major strength. In no other camper van will you find such high‐quality integral furniture, such sturdy hinges and such elaborate all‐round insulation made of closed‐cell polyethylene foam on the walls and ceiling as well as 12 mm thick Styrodur on the floor.

Campbellsville Middle School art students recently designed their own buildings and then made them out of paper mache.
In Jo Ann Harris's art class, students studied how form follows function.
Harris asked students to create a building that is shaped like its function, such as a pet store in the shape of a dog or a sporting goods store in the shape of a baseball bat.
When their designs were finished, students made their buildings by using newspaper and paper mache.

Marsden Hartley once wrote of the challenges of inhabiting New Mexico in a letter to Alfred Stieglitz. "This country is very beautiful and also difficult... It is not a country of light on things. It is a country of things in light, therefore it is a country of form, with a new presentation of light as problem." New Mexico remains a beautiful, difficult land.

Good news: I got a new laptop at work that's much faster than my previous one.
Bad news: new laptop = setup issues.
My previous laptop was 32-bit and this one is 64-bit which came with its own challenges. I have the 64-bit Office 2010 installed on it. If you have ever worked with SSIS in a 64-bit environment then you know where this post is going.
I am working on an SSIS package that import data from Excel 2007 to SQL Server. I had created the package on my previous 32-bit laptop and I have to tweak it. Now I get this error: "
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine."
I search for a solution and I come across a few things. One is to set my project to use the 32-bit runtime. Another one is to download the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable which has backwards connectivity components. Another thing suggested changing the connection string to Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.14.0.
Neither of the above solutions have worked. What eventually worked is downloading and installing the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components. Just for reference this is my connection string: Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=filename.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=2";
I hope this post will help someone facing the same problems. Merry Christmas!
Just a note: in order to install the Access Database Engine 2010 32-bit version I had to uninstall any 4-bit versions of Office.

Gray and Lyon is the 29th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.
Lyon orders Sherry, Yuka, and Toby to obliterate the village. Natsu attempts to engage Lyon, but is frozen by Lyon's Magic. Gray attacks Lyon and pushes Natsu away. After rolling down a hill, Natsu runs to protect the village while trying to melt the ice. Meanwhile, Erza has hijacked a pirate ship and is on her way to Galuna Island, furious.
Sherry, Yuka, and Toby leave to destroy the village. Natsu shouts out, and Team Natsu gets ready for battle. The boss, the masked one, states that he will get rid of them, and Natsu charges in, but Gray out runs him and attacks the masked figure with Ice. The masked one protects himself with ice, and Gray calls him Lyon.
He scolds Lyon for his actions, and they argue. Lyon orders his lackeys to go and destroy the village, and Natsu tries to follow them; however, Lyon freezes Natsu. Gray orders Happy to grab Lucy and leave, and Happy concurs. He is heartbroken by not rescuing Natsu, but ultimately thinks of the villagers, and Lucy cheers him up by saying that nothing will happen to his friend. Meanwhile, Gray kicks Natsu down the mountain in order to remove him from Lyon's range of Magic. They argue over Ur's legacy, and Lyon shuts Gray up by accusing Gray of killing Ur.
At the feet of the mountain, Natsu tries to melt the ice but can't. He then runs to the village, but ultimately finds it is hard to run, as he is nearly all frozen. Meanwhile, a pirate ship approaches with all the sailors defeated. Erza is shown to be the culprit of such coercion, and orders the captain to take her to Galuna Island, ignoring his statement that Galuna Island was cursed.

2016, if you go by the news and social media, has been pretty horrible. Sometimes though you've got to look at your own smaller world, and judge a year more personally.
For me, writing wise, it has been very quiet. I think I've managed less than 10,000 words for the whole year. I've beaten myself up about it a few times, and seriously thought of just giving up. However, the truth is I have edited – a lot. The book I wrote has been edited again and again. Each time trying to get it in better shape. So, being a little kinder to myself, I've edited massively, and what I have written has been either published, or at least appreciated.
January of 2016 saw the release of Jurassic Attack. A series of dinosaur tales based on a set of collectable cards. My story was 'Phased'. This is an odd one for me because I was genuinely not impressed with my own story in this, however others really like it, and have even gone so far as to say they could see a jump in the quality of my writing – so what do I know.
March saw me send off my book 'Blood Key' to the publishers Kristell Ink, who had an open submissions period. The response I had was unlike any I have had so far in my writing. I've been extremely lucky with numerous acceptances, and even the declines have been both helpful and polite. Kristell Ink e-mailed me with four words – "It's not for us". Those four words hit me hard, and if I am honest it probably is the main reason why I've been so unproductive for 2016. This is not their fault, it is mine. I've gotten used to being told 'yes' and even when I am told 'no', it has always been with an explanation that was both encouraging and helpful. I didn't think my confidence was that fragile. Looking back now, I take it for what it is – a reminder that you need a thick skin, that you need to believe in yourself, and even if someone doesn't like your stuff, there may well be plenty out there that will.
I'd also sent the book to 'Black Rose Writing'. They also declined but simply said they loved the original idea but suggested a professional edit. This perked me up a little. I happened to pick up a writing magazine and in the back were details of a publisher called 'Pioneer Teens'. They said they wanted new writers, authors still trying to perfect their craft – still rough around the edges but willing to work with an editor to get better. I sent them the first three chapters and eventually they asked for the whole manuscript. Obviously they did not take the book – or else I'd have fireworks exploding from my blog! – but I got very close. They liked it a lot. They were seriously considering it. They are a small press, and in the end they had a limited budget and were only going to print two books that year. I didn't make it but I know I was very close.
You'd think confidence renewed I'd have been typing away everyday – pushing on to bigger and better things. Sadly real life took over. Work this year has been great. I've worked more hours, spent a lot of time learning new skills, and… been very tired as a result.
March also saw the release of another story I'd written in 2015. 'Wax and Wane: A Gathering of Witch Tales' came out. I love the cover to this book. I think this is possibly the best looking book I've been in. My story, 'That Familiar Feeling' was fun to write, and I enjoyed putting a positive outlook on a young witch.
April saw me really try and get back into the writing habit. On the final day of the deadline I wrote 'Purchase and Possess', which was accepted for 'Ghosts, Gears & Grimoires', an anthology of steampunk and horror. I enjoyed writing this, and have always felt that the Victorians obsession with holding seances are ripe for any story setting.
My local writing group, 'The Writer's Cafe' held a competition in May, in partnership with the National Trust. It was a flash fiction competition with the theme of 'Underground'. All stories had to be no more than 300 words. I was thrilled when my tale, 'Crumbs of Hope' won. The prize? The story was put on display at Levant Mine, at the top of a working steam engine no less, for all to see.
Here is a picture of the story, along with its German translation, as provided by the lovely Renate Augstein.
And here is Levant Mine…
June saw the release of 'We've All Been There: Tales of Tenacity'. This was an anthology of true stories of people dealing with various problems and the proceeds of the book went to charity. The idea was that the authors wrote about personal issues. I have a strange feeling towards this book. On one hand I'm very proud to be part of it (my story is called 'What About ME?'), on the other I regret writing the story, since I was very honest. I feel like I put a little bit of myself out there and I wish I'd not been so open. Still, it is done, and quite probably it was therapeutic to write it. My own issues should not detract from the other authors who also shared their experiences, all in the name of letting people know they are not alone, and hopefully raising some money for a worthwhile cause.
And that was it for my writing all summer long. I worked and worked. I didn't go to my local writing group, I didn't go to the 'Speakeasy' group – I felt no inspiration for the themes they set, and I felt no desire to get involved.
Pretty much I continued to feel sorry for myself, still talked about giving up the writing lark, and generally passed on advice to others about keeping going, when I should have been listening to it myself.
July saw me take part in an event in my home town. There was the 'Penzance Literary Festival' and some local writers not involved set up there own 'fringe' event. I got involved and read some unpublished short stories that seemed to go down well. To be a part of it was very nice and being described as 'experienced' at public reading was surprising but reassuring.
October/November saw work come to an end for the year, and so I had to shake myself down and go back to basics. First things first, I started going back to my T'ai Chi lessons. I got some energy back, and decided to look again at 'Blood Key'. I can't afford a professional edit but I can at the very least keep trying to make it better.
I decided to do something small, and ended up sending a 'drabble' off to a publisher in Chile. Lo and behold it was accepted. 'Shadow' appears in the e-book 'Spooky Halloween Drabbles 2016'. A drabble is a story in 100 words. It is not that easy to do well and I was really pleased with what I managed to convey in very few words. A beginning, middle, and end, with atmosphere. Something that small made me feel much better about myself.
On my birthday, 'Ghosts, Gears & Grimoires' was published by Mocha Memoirs Press. I think I return to steampunk as a sort of safety blanket.
October was also when I got hold of a copy of 'Forever Hungry'. My story 'Family Ties' made it in there, and I really like that tale. I felt I managed a nice level of humour and gore. I'm pretty sure it came out before October but that was when I managed to get a copy.
The annual 'Writer's Cafe Christmas Flash Fiction Competition' came around again. I decided to try and write something different for this. I always approach the competition, not with the intent to win (which is nice mind) but to try and do something different in tone. I think after a number of years my style of writing is obvious to many members so I try and almost disguise myself by mixing up the tone or feel. I don't know how successful I am with that but it feels like a good exercise. This year my tale, 'Never Too Late' did not place in the top three. The winners stories were much better and fully deserved their reward.
Finally, having dusted myself down, and given myself a little bit of a talking to, I've spent much of December editing again. I've entered 'Blood Key' into the Chicken House/Times competition for children's and young adults novels. I won't know the result of that until Easter 2017, at least.
Of 2016 I can say I've reminded myself that no one deserves a nice, friendly, detailed rejection – so suck it up and get on with it. I need to be realistic about where a story fits too. What I think is Young Adult, might truly be Teen or Older Children. Maybe I see Science Fiction where another sees Horror. Knowing where a story fits is important, and can determine whether or not the right people are reading it.
Despite hardly writing, I've had 6 stories published (I'd thought it was 3 before typing out this blog!). I won a flash fiction competition, and the display of my work at Levant and then later in my home town, is something to be very proud of.
Of my work already written but unpublished, I still hold out hope that 'The Adventures of Dayton Barnes' will see the light of day eventually, and the story that I wrote for the people rescuing dogs and cats may get out there, if they can get a few more tales together.
I've not written yet in 2017, and yet I have – for here is a blog entry for the first time since April 2016. It's a start.
When I first said I'd blog, I said I would log the ups and downs. I've not stayed true to that. I've not kept up to date with what is happening. The point of me telling you about how I reacted to the various occurrences is not to seek sympathy or to look for a pat on the back. I don't need either. The point is to share, to tell someone else who might be doing something similar, or just about to try, that these things happen. Famous authors get 70 plus rejections, but they are famous because they kept going, and didn't let it discourage them. Just writing this blog reminds me that I've had more success in the last 3 years than I could have ever dreamed of.
So, 2016 seemed depressing at the time, but for me personally, looking at it like this – it was actually pretty good!
I hope yours was good too, and I hope we can all have a great 2017. The wider world looks scary but hopefully within our own individual worlds we can each have some happiness and share that along.
Thanks for reading and being with me,

All-Terrain Vehicle Association unveils new logo
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA) has unveiled a new logo with a style and colors that show the member-based group's strong link to its sister organization, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA).
"This new, vibrant and dynamic ATVA logo reflects the association's mission to promote the ATV lifestyle and protect the future of the sport," said AMA/ATVA President and CEO Rob Dingman.
The ATVA's new logo is similar to the AMA's logo in type style and colors. The red, white and blue logo has a modern look with ATV in red, the final A in blue, a white outline for the letters, and the name — All-Terrain Vehicle Association — below the letters.
"The ATVA, as the sister organization of the AMA, takes this mission very seriously and vigorously defends the rights of all ATV riders," said Dingman. "The combined membership of the ATVA and the AMA gives us a lot of clout when we speak with government decision-makers at all levels, from village councils to Congress and the White House."
The ATVA is dedicated to increasing its members' enjoyment of riding and owning ATVs, and it is a primary source of information about recreational riding opportunities. As America's largest off-highway vehicle (OHV) organizations, the AMA and ATVA advocate for OHV rider interests with dedicated government relations offices and staff in Washington, D.C., the western U.S., and in the organizational headquarters of Pickerington, Ohio. Through clubs, promoters and partners, the two associations sanction more than 4000 recreational and racing events annually. AMA and ATVA members also receive numerous money-saving discounts from a variety of service and ATV-related suppliers.
About the All-Terrain Vehicle Association
The All-Terrain Vehicle Association (ATVA), as part of the American Motorcyclist Association, promotes ATV riding and protects the future of ATV riding in America. The ATVA advocates for riders' interests in the halls of local, state and federal government, the committees of international governing organizations and the court of public opinion. The ATVA is an authoritative source of information about where and how to ride, products, events, racing, and safe riding practices. ATVA members receive money-saving discounts from dozens of well-known suppliers of ATV-related services, gear and apparel, transport, hotel stays and more.

December 2004
As I was setting up my nativity scene I looked more closely at it and was a little puzzled by the haggard, almost tortured, looks of the villagers in my set. This set was given to me as a gift, a precepio, Italian nativity set, made by Fontanini in Lucca. My friend Cindy used to live in Lucca and she assures me that not all the figures looked as anguished as mine. Now that she is back in the States, she wishes she had purchased a set to remind her of her Lucchese friends, as many of the figures bear a little bit of a resemblance to people she knew.
But as I was assembling the pieces I had to wonder at the accuracy of the scene. There are the aforementioned figurines, who may be actually somewhat accurate as the angels did announce the birth to the shepherds, humble and rugged outdoorsmen; yet oddly the figures of Mary and Joseph, who would have had cause to be haggard or anguished-looking after their ordeal, instead look rested and serene. The wooden stable is clean and even quaint, but the real stable would probably have been stone, either a cave or the lower level of a stone building, with dwelling space above, and the animal stalls below, dark and damp. The manger looks more remarkably like a crib than a feeding trough, which probably would have been hewn from stone along one wall rather than fashioned from wood, small and delicate, fitting only the little baby.. And my animal figures are looking so cute and quiet off to the side, gazing at the babe in the manger, rather than occupying the majority of the stable, dirty, snorting and stinking.
No, I think the real scene literally smelled to high heaven. Instead of the fragrant incense which rises to heaven as an offering, He was placed where the smell of manure, urine and animals rose…a sign of the stinking, unjust world He came to redeem. He endured the stench of sin so that we could become the sweet-smelling aroma of praise to God. The babe in the manger took his first breath of life on earth amid the refuse of the world. But even there the fragrance of new life emerged, and He was praised by the angels and shepherds, a faint wisp of fresh air entering the world.
With this picture, my little nativity scene looks so tidy, so modern…so sterile.

British Cycling has confirmed the Great Britain Cycling Team programme riders who will line up to race at the third round of the Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup series in Milton, Canada from 1-3 December 2017.
Olympic champion Katie Archibald, who won two gold medals and one silver at the world cup in Manchester over the weekend, will be back in action along with Senior Academy rider Ellie Dickinson in the women's endurance events. Ollie Wood, winner of the team pursuit gold medal in Manchester, will compete in the men's endurance events along with Chris Latham and Mark Stewart.
On behalf of @BritishCycling, we are proud to announce the Great Britain Cycling Team for the Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Milton, Canada.— Cervélo (@cervelo) November 14, 2017
Olympic gold medallists Callum Skinner, kilo bronze medallist in Manchester, along with Phil Hindes plus Olympic bronze medallist Katy Marchant will represent Great Britain in the sprint events alongside Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens, Joe Truman and Sophie Capewell.
Head coach Iain Dyer said: "Overall, I was pleased with how we performed in Manchester, it feels like momentum is building as we get further into the season and I'll be looking to see that carry on into the coming rounds of the world cup series.
"Katie Archibald continues with her impressive run of results, and it's great to see the women's endurance squad go from strength to strength each competition to deliver across the events.
"I was happy to see the men's team pursuit squad win gold in Manchester, a medal I knew they were capable of delivering, and equally it was pleasing to see Callum back on the podium having overcome a back injury sustained last month.
"At this stage of the Olympic cycle, performances are as important as results and we've seen plenty of promising signs within the squad. Canada is the final major competition on the calendar for the squad this year and it's another opportunity to qualify more points for the World Championships in February next year."
Ollie Wood, winner of the gold medal in the team pursuit at the Manchester round of the world cup series, said: "I enjoyed racing in Manchester over the weekend, I felt like I was in good form going into the event and the team pursuit victory proved that. I'm looking forward to competing at the next round of the world cup and targeting the individual events."

Cards delivered, and time to walk back. You don't have to get very far from North Baddesley before it become quite rural. And, walking down Rownhams Lane, to the left of me there was a rustling noise and the sight of a deer leaping off away from me.
Thankfully there was a fence, as at least that meant it couldn't leap in the direction of traffic.
I was a bit annoyed with myself for unintentionally scaring it.
As I was walking along I was thinking that if only I could have become a deer, then I could have reassured it that it didn't need to be scared of me.
Of course, if I had simply become a deer, then I would no longer be human, and not able to share my human knowledge with it. What would be needed would be for me to find a way to be fully deer and fully human.

does anyone know of a source for renting grills and smokers in or near east baltimore?
If a fire escape is the closest you come to a backyard, it shouldn't stop you from smoking. Former CHOW.com Senior Food Editor Jill Santopietro says that turning your wok into a smoker doesn't take much effort. All you need is aluminum foil, a round cooling rack, and finely ground wood chips, available online or at hardware stores or some cooking supply stores. If you don't have wood chips, you can use a 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup rice, and 1/4 cup oolong tea leaves mixed with 2 tablespoons water for more of a tea smoke. Indoor smokers take note: Open your windows and remove your smoke detector (but don't forget to put it back when you're done). Find plenty of smoking recipes and other tips here!
Former CHOW.com Senior Food Editor Jill Santopietro recommends that you smoke all sorts of things: fish, cheese, salt, and, of course, meat (see our recipes). And you don't need a fancy smoking device: You can smoke food on a basic kettle grill. It's really easy. Watch the video, or see it all step by step (plus instructions for smoking on an outdoor gas grill).

Well I'm gonna be completely honest here. Ain't shocked in the least by what this guy is admitting to right now.
- Has had online relationships with at least 6 women in the last 3 years. Word
- Never met any of the women. Ok, I'll believe that
- Will not lay out what happened in the relationships. Good move.
I am on the other hand loving this little part. The reporters are hounding him now for the age of the women, saying these girls were only a few years older than his kids. Ummm… I'm gonna go ahead and say he's prolly not tryin' to swap dirty talk with a 40 year-old housewife. If anything that's the most relieving part of this whole thing. Hey guys, at least the bitches weren't old right?
Best quotes from the whole press conference, both happened as he's walking off stage:
- Were you fully erect or flaccid in the photograph?
- Do you plan to support Governor Schwarzenegger's love child?
Let a player play.

Cod Liver Oil 1000mg Softgels 3 Pack Combo ( 60 caps):
In the olden times, people keep a bottle of cod liver oil in their pantry or refrigerator and they use this daily as a helpful supplement to address a variety of ailments such as stiffness of joints and Rheumatism. In the modern households, you will find Cod Liver Oil Vitamins in capsule or tablet form and this makes the whole experience of taking this supplement a lot better. Let's face it, cod liver oil, no matter how healthy it may be, is really nasty. In the recent years, we have seen a comeback of the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins and now, we can see them in soft gel capsule, somewhat a much better way to consume the vitamins in a way that is less likely to kill your appetite. With the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins from Gold Crown Natural Products, it is possible to enjoy this classic product at an amazing form and at a price that you cannot say no to.
In the last few years also, we have seen tons of companies offering a wide range of fish oils. What is better? Cod liver oil vs. fish oil, this is a unique debate that shows which vitamins will prevail and what options are available for you. In the battle of cod liver oil vs. fish oil, let us know how Cod Liver Oil Vitamins stand against the components of fish oils.
Vitamin D
When it comes to this pro hormone, fat soluble vitamin, the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins immediately get the upper hand over the fish oils. The Cod Liver Oil Vitamins are known to be very rich source of vitamin D. the recommended dietary amount of Cod Liver Oil Vitamins can contain as much as 1000 mg of vitamin D. This is the amount that is recommended by experts when it comes to the overall health of the person. This is vital information since a great number of American children are deficient in Vitamin D due to the changes in activities and lifestyle. More kids do not expose themselves to the sun, a vital component in the synthesis and use of vitamin D that is present in the body.
If you are concerned about your health, you better take advantage of Cod Liver Oil Vitamins. The Cod Liver Oil capsules have considerable amount of D vitamin to address and regulate numerous bodily functions such as the nervous system, immune system and bones. Though some foods may contain vitamin D, it is either sunlight or Cod Liver Oil Vitamins that you can get a rich dose of this incredible product. If you work indoors or you barely see the sunlight or even let it touch your skin for a few minutes, you can take advantage of the cod liver oil so that you can get enough vitamin D for a healthier body. In this battle between the cod liver oil vs. fish oil, the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins win.
Omega 3 fatty acids
We have been accustomed to consider cholesterol as a bad thing. We consider it as something that we should avoid. However, it is necessary to break this barrier and have an understanding of what it can do to our overall health. There are 2 kinds of cholesterol. There is the bad cholesterol (LDL) and good cholesterol, HDL. If the levels of LDL are high, you can have greater risks of getting heart ailments. That is why, we need to increase HDL while lowering LDL. To do that, scientists look into the power of nature and they discovered the power of Omega 3. This is a fatty acid that is naturally occurring and can help in lower your triglycerides. According to experts, fish oil is good enough for the volume of omega 3 fatty acids. Nonetheless, the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins are still good bets. In the battle of Cod liver fish oil vs. fish oil, it is a draw since both oils are filled with omega 3.
Cod Liver Oil Vitamins from Gold Crown Natural Products are filled with helpful Omega 3. Aside from regulating the LDL, cod liver oil also has anticoagulant properties that are helpful in preventing the blood from clotting that can create blockages on the blood vessels. The blockages can result to high blood pressure and worst case scenarios, stroke. The components of this supplement are drawn from squids that contain even higher doses of fatty acids. This in turn can help you in keeping your blood and heart healthy and safe from risks.
If you are looking for an effective way to protect your heart and keep your body healthy and strong, you will want to take advantage of the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins. The Cod Liver Oil Vitamins are your best defense against heart risks. Of course, you should include a healthy diet and regular exercise in your daily regimen to keep your body protected from these risks. Healthy living starts with what you eat and by taking a daily dose of this high quality Cod Liver Oil Vitamins, you will be able to enjoy maximum benefits and high quality results.
The fish oil may be less likely to contain them but still, they can be subject to risk if they do not come from reputable companies. It is vital to follow the right rules when choosing Cod Liver Oil Vitamins. Go only for renowned and reputable companies that offer Cod Liver Oil Vitamins. If the Cod Liver Oil Vitamins come from a no name brand, you might risk yourself of problems and other dangers
When it comes to quality Cod Liver Oil Vitamins, Gold Crown Natural Product goes beyond and offers high quality cod liver oil. This soft gel natural Omega 3 pack combo Cod Liver Oil Vitamins offer is a perfect way to stock up on high quality cod liver oil at a very convenient price.
Cod liver oil is widely taken to ease the pain and joint stiffness associated with arthritis, and has also been clinically proven to have a positive effect on heart, bone, and brain, as well as helping to nourish skin, hair, and nails.Cod liver oil and fish oil are similar, but cod liver oil has much higher levels of vitamins A and D. Many adults do not meet the RDA for Vitamin D.
Cod liver oil capsules may be an effective complementary measure for long-term treatment of multiple sclerosis.Use of cod liver oil during pregnancy is associated with lower risk of Type I diabetes in the offspring. This effect was found only in mothers taking cod liver oil, not in mothers taking multivitamin supplements. Cod liver oil taken by nursing mothers improves the breast milk by increasing the amount of fatty acids, which promotes brain development, and the amount of vitamin A, which helps prevent infections, but the level of vitamin D is unchanged.
A Norwegian study of more than 68,000 women reported that female cancer patients who took daily cod-liver oil supplements had significantly reduced mortality (25% for all cancers, 45% for lung cancer).
Cod liver oil has high levels of nutritional supplements derived from the liver of cod fish, of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and very high levels of vitamin A and vitamin D. It is widely taken to ease the symptoms of arthritis and for other health benefits. It was once commonly given to children, because the high levels of vitamin D in cod liver oil have been shown to prevent rickets.

This is a sign you don't see very often.
It was put up by a closed down road toll station,
just north of Stavanger,
when the road was paid off.
It's quite satisfactory to drive through it
and not have to stop and pay any more.
It is a rare sign indeed! The government here is talking about adding tolls to roads here, unfortunately. (Although many politicians deny it.)
wow! here, whether the toll roads are paid off or not, they continue to collect the tolls...
That is a nice reminder that you no longer have to pay. Seeing that sign would make me smile as soon as I entered the road!
we take a lot for granted, nice to see that it's nice to go through a road way for free.
The road looks ki9nd of abandoned. They should put up a welcome sign.
I hope we see more of those signs! Your photo of the toll station has a lot of neat artistic elements going. I like curves and swirls!
i wish to see this sign in our tollways. toll fees here were increased recently people are still complaining about it.
That's just the sign I would love to see at a gas station.
