Matheola is one of the oldest cities in the world to have been inhabited, with settlements dating back to about 10,000 years ago (inhabited from the Paleolithic up to our days); the third in the world after Aleppo in Syria and Jericho in the Cisgiordania. This is the most exceptional and intact example of a troglodyte settlement in the Mediterranean region. The Sassi and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera include a complex of houses, churches, monasteries and hermitages built in the natural caves of the Murgia.

Team GB Exclusive: McKenna's Fridge Kids upbeat with 500 days to go until PyeongChang Winter Olympics
25 September 2016 / 23:07
Lesley McKenna wants her Fridge Kids to keep pushing the boundaries and forget about medals in the countdown to the Winter Olympics.
It's exactly 500 days until the opening ceremony in PyeongChang and three-time Olympian McKenna, who now manages Great Britain's freestyle skiing and snowboarding hopefuls, is rightly looking ahead with confidence.
Snowboarder Jenny Jones's slopestyle bronze in Sochi, a first British Winter Olympic medal on snow, broke new boundaries and established new expectations.
Billy Morgan, James Woods, Katie Summerhayes, Katie Ormerod and Jamie Nicholls are all now World Cup podium regulars and boast an average age of 22.
Youth Olympic gold medallist Madi Rowlands is only 16 and slopestyle skier Isabel Atkin, one of last year's most consistent World Cup performers, is just 18.
It's a deck stacked with young and emerging talent but competition for the limited places is expected to be fierce.
"Olympic qualification has started now and it brings a lot of pressure and a lot of stress on the athletes because they have to compete in all the competitions," said McKenna.
"It's relentless and that's a big challenge, getting our athletes safely through that process and then getting them in a position to do their best at the Games.
"We believe if we can do that then a few of them will have a chance of winning a medal but it's more complicated than just getting them to peak in PyeongChang."
While some Olympic programmes have a 'medals, medals, medals' mantra, McKenna is all about 'tricks, tricks, tricks' and staying true to the 'go big or go home' ethos of her sport.
Ormerod made headlines when she became the first woman to land a backside double cork 1080 and gymnast turned snowboarder Morgan went viral with a showstopper quad cork jump last year.
Success in Sochi - Woods and Summerhayes also achieved top tens - secured valuable National Lottery funding for McKenna's team, while she also hopes to benefit from a new British Ski and Snowboard initiative, backed by leading UK travel operators.
The British Snowsports Fund will see holidaymakers encouraged to make a small donation when they book their getaway to the slopes, with over one million Brits heading for their annual ski and apres ski every winter.
Money and the appliance of science goes along way and McKenna recently took delivery of a double size Olympic trampoline to aid training, the first of its kind in Europe.
"Our programme is built around tricks," added McKenna (pictured above).
"We don't have a 'win at all costs' approach, we have a 'do better tricks' approach because if you do that you are probably going to win and it also protects the athletes from external pressures.
"The valuable thing is learning and developing as a person and we've got the ultimate area to do that. The chance to do something that's better than anyone else is what motivates our athletes. It's more valuable than winning.
"If someone wins and they've not done a good run or the conditions weren't great then everyone is a bit down and flat. That's different from many Olympic sports where the winner is just the winner and this is what makes people passionate about our sport.
"It's about doing something better than you've ever done before or that you've never done before.
"James Woods, Billy Morgan and Katie Ormerod are the most exciting athletes in turns of new tricks. They are out there leading the world with their innovation. They all got a strong desire to progress and learn and strive for those radical moments.
"The only way we can increase our chance of wining a medal is to have more athletes there. In our sport the chances of it going wrong for any athlete, even the most consistent in the world, is really high, about 20 percent.
"If the very best in the world fall over two times in ten in their finals then we can expect things like that to happen to our team, so the only way we increase our chances is to have more athletes at the top."

I keep rewriting this because it's hard to say, and hard to face. That's also the reason I broke down today while relaying the past two months' developments to my pain management doctor. The hard truth is that adhesions have very likely grown back on my rectum and bowel and possibly other locations, four months after they were removed by a world-renowned endometriosis specialist during a grueling two-surgery process. I've been working with my PCP, endo specialist, gastroenterologist and nutritionist to treat severe digestive dysfunction and abdominal pain which has made me pretty sick, and kept me on a liquids diet for a while. If it continues, it will threaten my ability to digest food properly until another surgery to correct it.
This is all on top of trying to find solutions to multiple co-morbid diseases and dysfunctions that endometriosis and its treatment has caused. Oh, and the medication I take to suppress all hormones in my body with the intention to prevent further endometriosis growths is changing my body in multiple soul-crushing, potentially permanent ways, although I know that the benefits outweigh the cost.
I felt amazing, just two months ago. I had some of the same issues then, but there was progress being made, and it felt like everything was moving in the right direction. The suffering and damage incurred during four surgeries and treatment appeared to have made me exponentially healthier. I had hoped that we had at least subdued endometriosis and adhesions for long enough to give my body a chance to fight off the rest of the attackers.
While I am absolutely in far less pain, while I know that my surgeon potentially saved my life, and while I don't regret the surgeries for a hot second, I'm so beyond belief, or emotions, or words. Frustrated isn't the right word; neither is angry, or sad, or upset. None of those convey the nagging feeling, the empty gravitas of accepting that no matter how many surgeries or treatments I endure, I was born into a body whose very perfectly natural, normal healing process, adhesions, curses me to indescribable pain, organ dysfunction, and helplessness. That what restores others to health will always chain me to disability.
There won't be any avoiding these patterns, there won't be any chance of outrunning the pain, there won't be any graduating from routine follow-ups, there won't be a knight on a white horse in an OR or waiting for me outside the office of the twenty-seventh specialist I've seen in as many months.
I think the only truth that allows me to continue traveling through each day like everything is okay, that equips me to laugh and plan and sit calmly binging The Newsroom with my fiancé while at the same time knowing that I will never totally or even partially shake off the pain, the appointments, the medicine, the fear of the faceless adversary wreaking havoc on my very core, under my skin… Is the realization that I have no other choice.
I no longer have the option, the luxury of lobbying to evict my nemesis. I don't get to take the easy way out, of just waiting to kick the sucker out to begin living. No, that's not how my happy ending will work. Mine will more or less take the shape of, "the best revenge is a life well-lived."
You heard me right; there's no more waiting until I'm healthier, until I'm done fighting endometriosis, or feeling stronger. There's no more putting off goals I want to pursue, places I'm dying to see, risks I'd love to take, and the other innumerable joys and disasters awaiting me when I'm "better". Endometriosis may not be killing me, but giving it all my time, energy, and devotion might as well be. I'm watching my life pass me by, waiting for this demon to leave, while he's signing a mortgage on a three-bedroom and picking new tile for the master bath.
No more. No more waiting to fight another battle when I'm stronger, or less emotionally tired, or when I'm done with this six month treatment, or when the IV bruises have faded and I stop running my fingers over the several new abdominal scars I picked up in Texas.
This being caged by my own body's attempt at erasing the painful history of trauma, my own body's success in restoring my flesh? This inability to stop healing, which ironically harms me? This is the very reason that I can no longer put off living for "someday".
I must capture, seize, hold hostage this day, this very day, the one that you and I are both living. I no longer have the luxury of letting it pass by while waiting for a better one. That day may never come, and I will die with a life haunted with "what if".
I may not be able to control my body or the storm brewing inside me, but I can choose to muster the courage to live fearlessly and boldly not in spite of the pain or suffering, but with the knowledge that nothing I have faced yet has broken me, and nothing has been too difficult for me to overcome with the strength of the Lord and my loved ones.
The joy in life doesn't come from the pursuit being easy, but rather it being worth the struggle and passion poured into it. My waiting stops, my story continues, and so does my fight. How about you? What are you fighting for?

2012 Chrysler 300S/300C Executive Series - 2011 NY Auto Show
For those who prefer their Chrysler 300's with plenty of personality but don't need the in-your-face muscle found in the new STR8, the automaker rolled out a pair of well-focused high-profile/high-content alternative players in New York. The 2012 Chrysler 300S sets its sights on a more youthful buyer demographic while the 2012 Chrysler 300C Executive Series is simply the most luxurious, best-appointed version of this full-size four-door ever produced.
In keeping with its mission, the 2012 Chrysler 300S jettisons most of its exterior brightwork in favor of unique body-color mirrors and fascia accents set off with black-accented headlamp bezels and grille blades done in understated black chrome. Sole bling things are its 20-inch polished alloy wheels -- the biggest standard hoops on any 300 model -- wrapped in larger performance rubber. It's a similar story inside the cabin of the 300S, which can be done in black or Radar Red cloth. Chrome and wood are banished in favor of Piano Black trim and matte-carbon hydrographic- finish accents. The heated front buckets in the 300S offer 12-way power assist and the Uconnect Touch 8.4 with its oversize display screen controls the on-board infotainment/connectivity duties.
Highlighting its standard creature comforts roster is the first automotive application of a studio-quality Beats by Dr. Dre audio system. This 522-watt/10-speaker sonic tour-de-force includes a 12-channel amplifier that uses the same proprietary equalizer algorithm Beats Audio founders Dr. Dre, and Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, use in their recording studios. A collaborative effort between Chrysler and Beats Audio, it has "the power to play music as the artist intended it to be heard."
>See more new cars unveiled at the 2011 New York Auto Show
The 2012 Chrysler 300S will be available in both V6 and V8 flavors as well as rear- and all-wheel drive configurations. Like the base Chrysler 300 the new 300S V6 is fitted with the automaker's 3.6-liter Pentastar engine that makes 292 horsepower and sends it to the wheels via a new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission that also includes steering-wheel mounted shifter paddles. Opting for V8 power brings the 5.7-liter Hemi that makes 363 horsepower and features Fuel Saver Technology that can shut down four cylinders under light load conditions. It's paired with a five-speed AutoStick automatic that also adds shifter paddles to the mix.
Created to serve as the undisputed flagship model, the 2012 Chrysler 300C Executive Series matches the same Hemi powertrain as the 300S V8 with exterior and interior enhancements that speak more directly to elegant refinement. Outside, richer-looking platinum chrome replaces virtually all regular brightwork and is joined by standard 20-inch polished alloy wheels. Inside the 12-way power heated/ventilated seats are wrapped in either Black or two-tone Mochachino Premium Nappa leather while most of the rest of the dash/door/console trim is covered in matching Poltrona Frau "Foligno" hides set off by hand-sanded, low-gloss Natural Pore Mocha or Pore Gray wood trim.
Other elements of distinction in the 2012 Chrysler 300C Executive Series include a Uconnect Touch 8.4N infotainment system with Garmin navigation and SIRIUS Traffic/Travel Link, 160-mph LED-illuminated instrument cluster, heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, power tilt/telescoping steering column, power-adjustable pedals, premium 18-ounce berber floor mats and more.
Both the 2012 Chrysler 300S and 300C Executive Series will arrive in dealers starting this fall with pricing to come closer to the on-sale date.

When I first saw the photos of Rick Owens SS 2014 runway show, the photos beat me to the punch. And I couldn't stop grinning. I was so pleased to see these women's angry expressions, in their eyes and faces. The pictures predicted that there was something more to see and when I saw the choreography of the fashion show in YouTube, electricity run along my backbone.
Strong expression in choreography, shouting, energy, vicious faces. All this gave me a message that these women were so sick of whatever it was and they have had enough and they wouldn't take it anymore! It's time to move forward all sisters together. And in the wold today, this is so true. The feminist in me was so happy.
Runway shows and fashion magazines determines strongly the way we see beauty. Skinny models are the norm. So it was very refreshing to see Rick Owens' out-of-the-standard models. This was a radical move in the context of fashion show. Stretching the limits. Thank you Rick Owens!
It is true that women have a reason to be angry.
I don't know whether there is a single country in the world that could be considered totally equal for men and women. Even in countries such as Finland, which seems to be very equal, fact is that women earn less than men for the same work. A man's euro is woman's 78 cents. Constantly, although this has been the issue as long as I can remember.
But this is just a little sorrow compared to bad treatment that some of our little sisters get to experience.
Think about the young girls that are forced to marry with adult men and the tragedies where it leads. Think about female circumcision, which occurs in the name of tradition. So many unnecessary tears.
But I'm happy that there is also bright spots on the horizon. Education is a way to better life. Despite this fact, going to school is not self evident to all girls. But then there is this Malala Movement, a global movement whose primary goal is to ensure that every girl in the world has access to the educational opportunities they deserve. This movement builds a better future for tomorrows women. Malala herself is one of them in just 16 years of age. If you want to read her story, you can visit The Malala Fund website.
In this Woman's Day I'm suggesting that women would start supporting strongly each other. Give Applause to a Woman Each and Every Day! Give positive feedback to your sisters, fellows and relatives, your boss, your teammates, or whoever you think is worth it. So girls – and why not men as well – just remember to use your voice.
As an inspiration I'm linking the mentioned Rick Owens -show Spring 2014 Womenswear in Paris here. Enjoy your day!

Eclipse Phase
Murder Badb Catha
Background: Uplift
Faction: Mercurial
Gender Identity: Bird
Ego Age: 14
+Uplift Autonomy
+Personal Academic Acclaim
+Shiny Shit, Acquisition Thereof
Murder is a raven uplift who began his life as a glorified research assistant to a cantankerous, paranoid, generally unpleasant professor of archaeology at the University of Luna. This early social experience did not do much to improve on the avian's general tendency towards abrasiveness, nor did the professor's poor treatment of him do much for his formative impression of transhumankind (brain the size of a planet and there he was, formatting bibliographies for this asshole . . .)
The professor was permanently killed in the chaotic year following the Fall, and his assistant took the opportunity to strike out on his own, renaming himself with an aggressively raven-themed name (because what the fuck kind of name is [REDACTED], anyway?) and pursuing his own career in linguistics, for which he has an uncanny talent.
Murder has flourished in this life path and is now a tenured research professor at TAU. He allies himself strongly with Mercurial causes and is known for his pro-uplift stance, his widely-published criticism, his found-object sculpture and his extremely mediocre poetry. His general abrasiveness, intellect, and opinionated nature has made him surprisingly popular with a small subset of the glitterati avant-garde who, for some goddamn reason, really love having an asshole at their parties. He completely disdains these people, but trades on his inexplicable popularity with them in order to eat their canapes and steal their shiny shit.
He really, really loves shiny shit.

Logitec Pocket Wireless Router
The first time that I saw this pocket wireless router from Logitec, I thought my source had misspelled Logitech. From what I see, Logitec is completely different from the company who gave us the G13 Advanced Gaming Keyboard and most recently, a series of laptop coolers.
The access point from an Asian company called Logitec may be the smallest of its type. It measures in at 62mm x 82mm x 19mm, and weighs in at about 55 grams. As you can see, it fits in the palm of your hand.
The gadget is also compliant with the basic encryption standards including WPA2 (AES), WPA (TKIP), and WEP128/64. It looks like you won't have to worry about people getting on your access point.
So is this the beginning of an era where you don't have to depend on using some coffee shop or library's access point when you go to a public place? I certainly hope so, because I'm sort of tired of playing by their rules. If I could just keep an access point in my back pocket, I think that I would be just fine.
Something tells me that it is going to be a little more complicated than that. I'm still looking forward to the day when I can just open up my laptop and have instant access to the net.

This is for sure that many of us would have encountered these words several numbers of times in our lifetime (often daily).These are some of the most common law terms which we come across be it through newspapers, books, in TV, movies or in our day to day talks with friends.Let us try to understand the exact difference between them and their significance so that the next time you hear them, you just don't listen to them but you understand them too.
A written constitution of a country has several divisions namely– the Preamble, Acts, Schedule, Parts & Articles.
The Preamble
It refers to the introduction of the constitution. It contains the summary or essence of the constitution. It can thus be called as the "IDENTITY CARD" of the constitution. Just as the identity card of an individual has his/her basic details, preamble too has the basic details of the constitution.
In simple words, an act refers to a law. A law becomes an act once passed by the legislature in the house/assembly. ( Legislature – persons responsible for law making in a country ). For example – RTI Act of Indian Constitution 2005 has all the articles related to it covering all matters related to Right To Information.
It is the main part of the constitution and has rules relating to a particular matter. It has a number of sections in it which lay down provisions under that article. Thus an article can be termed as rules that govern a particular subject of interest. For example – Article 14 guarantees right to equality in Indian Constitution.
The constitution is divided into a number of parts that deal with a broad, but the specific topic. For example, Part III deals with Fundamental Rights and Part IV with Directive Principles in Indian Constitution.
It is like an appendix which can be referred to while reading an article. Schedules are the auxiliary provision which could not be accommodated in one single article. They contain articles which are related to list of particular item. For example Schedule XI of Indian Constitution deals with Panchayati Raj and has 29 items enlisted in it – like agriculture, irrigation, forest products etc.
In a Nut Shell ( Summary ):-
We can conclude that a constitution has various ACTS which in turn consists of various ARTICLES in it. Thus an article is more specific in nature and deals with the particular subject.
PARTs are divisions of constitution containing a number of articles but all related to a specific topic. Whereas SCHEDULES too are the division of constitution and contain articles related to the particular item list.
Do You Know ?? (Additional information)
The Amendment is the way of changing the constitution. Addition of an article, deletion of the article, or modification of article all require amendments. Even a comma or full stop addition or removal in constitution involves an amendment to it with defined procedures.

A Brief Moment of Silents, Please.
In my never-ending wade through the world of movies and their stars, I have come to be fond of two other actors who got their start in the silent era (and who also, like George O'Brien, continued successfully into the sound era.) So, today, I'd like to show you a little bit of them.
Now both of these men, apart from being about the same age, being handsome and having captivated audiences one way or another for decades, share another similarity. Each one was something of a pioneer in the realm of cinematic milestones.
I know that there are other silent film actors, from Rudolph Valentino to Ramon Novarro to John Gilbert and beyond, who have captured the hearts of movie mavens over the years, but O'Brien, Farrell and Arlen are the three that have emerged as my own favorites thus far.

Two columns in one week! You're spoiling us.
George O'Brien was a handsome man and certainly not shy about showing his fine physique but I'd have to say that I think Charles Farrell was the most beautiful. Would love to see The River but I believe it only exists in a truncated form with most of the footage lost. The same goes for Wolf Song unfortunately. I have read at various sources that both Farrell and Gaynor were gay and their marriages lavender but at this point who knows.
I can see the Paul Newman resemblance although Arlen's features were more squared off and stolid, that special mystique is missing. That scene in Wings is very moving and has a certain homoerotic vibe but I felt it came across as a deep brotherly bond more than anything else.
The silent actor that really surprised me with how really handsome he was has to be the young Charlie Chaplin. When you see pictures of him without the Tramp costume he is quite attractive.
Silents are an aquired taste, one that I can't say I have in full force although I loved last year's The Artist but it kept the title cards to a minimum which helped. If I know anyone who is thinking of trying a silent I always suggest that they start with something action oriented like The Thief of Bagdad to get use to the rhythms while still having something to engage. But they're like any other kind of film with some good; The Wind or Pandora's Box, some interesting for whose in them; Garbo in Flesh and the Devil or Lillian Gish in Broken Blossoms and some downright terrible no matter whose in them; The Affairs of Anatol with Gloria Swanson and Wallace Reid is unwatchable.
Anyway really enjoyed the article, always nice to remember that there have been good looking men in film since the beginning.

Thanks, as always, Joel. I LOVED The Artist, but I am a dog fanatic and was entranced by little Uggie (and also confess to finding the lead actor in it attractive.)
I keep waffling on getting The Iron Horse with George O'Brien. I've seen it several times in $3.00 bins and can't figure out why I keep passing it up. I also have a DVD of The Matinee Idol and enjoyed it at the time. (Can't recall much about it now!) Just the sheer scope of the sets of Intolerance alone is worth a one-time viewing. I always liked Francis X Bushman's wild, pale eyes in Ben-Hur, too (and that galley scene with the naked slave standing there. LOL)

Regarding Charles Farrell, "hubba, hubba, hubba..."
Where do you get guys that look like that today? I'm not a big Pitt, Depp or Clooney fan. Truth be told, though I like them, I find them lacking in qualities I REALLY like. I do hear they are nice guys but I don't see that over the top sex appeal everyone talks about. [Is it just me?]
Charles Farrell is someone I would have loved to meet in person. And I really mean that!

I agree with you, NotFelix, though I do have a soft spot for Clooney since he is from the same basic area in which I live and I've gotten to see him in the flesh. I've never understood the appeal of Depp, Pitt or most of the other "hunks" of today's cinematic landscape (though I'm sure those two in particular want to be considered actors before anything else!)

I'm giving up on trying to figure out what makes a "hunk" today. But, I do believe to an extent it is the femenization of the classic hero type. Modern young females set the standard by the money they spend. I think they prefer softer gentler males that don't pose a sexual [physical] threat. They set the tone.
Oh!, I used to go to the taping of "The Facts of Life" back in my West Hollywood days when I lived out in L.A. Clooney was the cutest, sweetest nicest guy you could ever hope to meet. He would come out and shake hands and sign autographs after taping. Nothing apparently has changed since. He still does all that and actually attempts to respond to his fanmail personally.
Still, when I think of a guy with a 6-shooter in one hand and whip in the other battling Nazis or aliens, he [Clooney] never comes to mind.

As I recall, that trashy tell-all book "Hollywood Babylon" cast some doubts on Farrell's masculinity and even called his marriage "lavender."
But then don't people generally say that about men who are so perfectly handsome?

Day 179: Race to save the Ancient Language of Jesus
"Race to save the language of Jesus: Aramaic in danger of becoming extinct as number of speakers of ancient tongue plummets
- Language once widely used in Middle East but speakers are now scattered
- Aramaic is believed to have been used by Jesus and his disciples
- British linguist Geoffrey Khan developing database of recordings
Wonderful news! This is exactly what we need - more languages dying off. And, I'm not being sarcastic here. I mean, do we really need thousands of years old languages that have no practical purpose? The only reason someone would want to preserve this ancient language is for sentimental purposes. And by sentiment I mean Religion, Ritual, Beliefs, and any other form of lifestyle that is not directly based on what can be practically applied for the immediate benefit of all life on Earth.
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2268204/Race-save-language-Jesus-Aramaic-danger-extinct-number-speakers-ancient-tongue-plummets.html#ixzz2J1Un2R6o
- Aramaic is not alone as an endangered language. Around Fifty to 90 percent of the roughly 7,000 languages currently spoken worldwide are expected to die out by the end of the century, reports Smithsonian.com."
What's the point of having different languages on Earth anyway? Aren't we One species, One Humanity? Isn't it more practical and beneficial to Life on Earth to have only One Language? Wouldn't that Prevent a lot of miscommunication? Look at the amount of time people spend translating things into different languages: Books, educational material, research, etc. Wouldn't it make sense for all books to be in the same language? Imagine how much more time we'd have.
Language is just a program anyway. If you're born in Japan - you'll speak Japanese. If you're born in America, you'll speak English. If you're born into a family of wolves - you'll not learn any human language - you'll learn to communicate with the wolves. The same goes for Culture. If you take a baby born in Israel to a family of deeply religious Jews, and raise them in an environment completely removed from Religion, say - on a farm somewhere in a remote part of the world -- they won't be Jewish - they'll be a Human Physical Body that learns to interact with the Physical Earth environment. This shows that the values we attribute to different cultures, religions, and languages are just made up - they're sentimental. They're not REAL. They have nothing to do with what's required to live practically in support of Life. Effective living is based on what is Measurably Best for Everyone in the reality that is actually Here - not some made up Opinion of reality.
And look at how much conflict, war, disagreement goes on daily in this world, and has existed for thousands of years, all because of differences in Culture and Language - all because Human Beings are so preoccupied with trying to survive as MAKE BELIEVE, refusing to see that we're all Equal as Life, Here in this One Reality, all subject to the Same Physical Laws. And in Accepting this Division, this Separation - look at the Consequences we are Allowing. Look at the conflict between Israel and Palestine - that wouldn't exist if everyone in those countries had grown up with the same Language, with words defined within the understanding of what is Practical and Effective for Humanity. Instead, you have a bunch of robots acting out a Program of Opinion, believing that their Opinions are who they really are.
Belief and Sentiment creates Dysfunction and Division in Language - which in term creates Dysfunction and Division in Humanity. Shouldn't we all have the same definitions of words? Isn't Language supposed to be a tool with which we can communicate effectively in order to make sure Humanity as a whole, as a Species functions effectively and meets all the needs of the Species?
You know what would also be cool? If everyone spontaneously forgot everything about their particular culture, traditions, religion -- everything except things like techniques and methods used to produce effective ways of physically living. Like growing food, making things, etc.
One Language, one Culture - the Language of Life as Equals, the Culture of Life as Equals. Maybe one day everyone will decide to stop trying to be special and just care about Life. That would be a good day. Unfortunately that day is nowhere yet in sight.
But for those who are interested in a world that makes sense, fortunately we have Desteni I Process Lite, which is a free course that will assist in breaking free from the Program of values not based on what's best for all life.

Carriers for THIN WAFER HANDLING
Plan Optik AG, the leading manufacturer of glass wafers, has expanded its production on glass and silicon carriers for Thin Wafer Handling of semiconductor wafers.
Semiconductor wafers undergo a wide range of process steps. TSV wafers for 3D wafer level packaging require very thin semiconductor substrates. Due to progressing thickness reduction of the wafers, handling in standard semiconductor processes requires carrier substrates supporting them.
Various Thin Wafer Handling sytems are already established in the semiconductor market. Plan Optik offers carriers for all types of Thin Wafer Handling such as from 3M, T-Mat, Brewer Science, EVG, Suss, TOK and others.
Plan Optik AG is focusing on the production of high end carriers from glass and silicon which meet these requirements excellently. High temperature and chemical resistance, incredibly low tolerances (down to 1 micron thickness variation), thermal expansion adjusted to the used semiconductor material are just a few examples for this. Different carrier types such as for silicon and gallium arsenite wafer handling are available.
A perfect surface quality created by Plan Optik's well established double side polishing and unique laser marking including QR codes for easy backtracing make them suitable for a huge number of re-use cycles - up to 20 times! Glass carriers could be strengthened to make them virtually unbreakable. Alkaline free glass is available as well.
Blank carriers for fast laser release, perforated carriers for chemical release and carriers with recessed pockets are available for various support systems such as laser debonding, chemical and thermal debonding.
Standard glass carriers are offered for 2" to 300 mm wafer handling. Most common types are available from stock - clean room packed and ready for use.
In order to guarantee the highest quality, Plan Optik employs quality management systems certified to ISO TS 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.

My new favorite easy healthy pasta recipe with a creamy avocado sauce… Yum!
Everyone knows how to make pasta, but it's not that easy to find an easy healthy pasta recipe you can still throw together quickly while being assured that you can enjoy a balanced vegan meal.
An easy healthy pasta recipe that goes easy on the pasta…
I love pasta, and I tend to make myself very large portions that are just loaded with carbs. Over time, I have switched from white pasta to multigrain or whole wheat pasta, which are both healthier, but even healthy pasta in large quantities is not good for you.
So I present the solution to large plates of pasta: zoodles!
Zoodles are zucchini noodles, made using an uncooked zucchini and a spiralizer. Every time I make myself pasta, I half the quantity of pasta and incorporate zoodles. I never found an entire plate of zoodles to be very satisfying, but when mixed with pasta, it makes for a winning combination.
Try it, it will change your relationship with pasta, especially if you felt guilty eating it. As a bonus, you also know you are getting an extra dose of veggies. Win win!
A spiralizer is an inexpensive kitchen item to purchase, as you don't need a very fancy model to make yourself zoodles every now and then. I use a model similar to the black one below, and it does a great job!
Zoodle Chef Premium Vegetable SpiralizerSpiral Slicer Spiralizer Complete Bundle
Why this easy healthy pasta recipe is filling, nutritious… and so darn tasty!
Ever been to a restaurant where the only vegan meal you could eat was pasta with tomato sauce? Did you feel satisfied after dinner? I think not. That's because vegan balanced meals need to contain vegetables, grains and protein. Back when I was an omnivore, I would more often than not plan my meals around a piece of meat or fish. Grains and veggies were an afterthought (and sometimes I even completely forgot about including grains, and found myself hungry after a few hours).
As a vegan, I plan my meals differently. I make sure I get lots of vegetables, a portion of grains, and enough plant-based protein to feel full. The grains are easily covered in this pasta dish, but it's the extra veggies and lentils that make it a balanced vegan meal.
While I cannot take full credit for this recipe, as the creamy avocado sauce is from Oh She Glows!, I'm happy to share this easy healthy pasta recipe that makes for a balanced, healthy vegan dinner.
To make the creamy avocado sauce, follow the instructions for this 15-minute creamy avocado recipe.
|Prep Time
|10 min
|Cook Time
|8-10 min
- 1 portion creamy avocado sauce (from http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/31/15-minute-creamy-avocado-pasta/)
- 1 box spaghetti (preferably multigrain or whole wheat)
- 2 zucchinis
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 can brown lentils (drained and rinsed)
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Prepare the creamy avocado sauce. Set aside.
- In a large pot, cook the pasta according to instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, use a spiralizer to cut the zucchinis into long noodles.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water and return the pasta to the pot.
- Add the avocado sauce, zoodles, tomatoes and lentils to the pot and mix together. Add the nutritional yeast if using, and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) to taste.

Isn't 'mama joy' beautiful? There really isn't anything more gorgeous than a mother in love with her baby. It lights their faces up. I love this picture SO much.
I am in love with the light that I was blessed with during my time with this sweet little family. My little subject was one of the most patient little ones that I've worked with so far in my time photographing babies. She has such a sunny disposition and I think you can see that in the glow-y feeling of these photos. What a sweet heart.
Thank you so much for allowing me to work with your beautiful little one! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!! I had so much fun getting to know you ladies a little bit! :)

I started thinking seriously about the Harley Davidson line of Touring Bikes. I love the look and feel of the FLHRCI. The Road King Classic has the cool old school classic look and the simple feel of the leather saddle bags combined with the windshield. This is a simple style compared to the big look of the Electra and Ultra Glides. The bikes are basically the same but like I said I like the simple style of the Road King. Plus the idea of being the "King of the Road" makes you smile.
Here is a list of all the current Harley Davidson touring bike, but be warned you maybe riding one sooner than you expect if you start looking into them.
• Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King®
• Harley-Davidson FLHRC Road King® Classic
• Harley-Davidson FLHRS Road King® Custom
• Harley-Davidson FLHT Electra Glide® Standard
• Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide® Classic
• Harley-Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic® Electra Glide®
• Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide™
• Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide®


text: I am a middle school multimedia/computer teacher. Our district is currently exploring options to replace textbooks with tablets and it's coming down to Android vs Apple. I obviously support and favor Android. I have begun to develop an outline to present to the powers that be in attempt to persuade them to see the benefits of Android in education. I will be posting this on several forums...all I'm looking for is some feedback/suggestions/things I may have missed from members of the Android community. Please forgive the formatting. I cut and pasted from a word document and it did not translate very well. I appreciate your reading and suggestions. Thank you in advance for your time. Before I begin, it is important that we keep a few things in mind. The subject of this document is NOT about the Nook vs the Ipad, it is about Android tablets in general vs the Ipad. As a school district, we are trying to find a device that provides the greatest benefit for our students while at the same time keeping bottom line costs at a minimum. Although it is not an exhaustive list, below are a few reasons that I believe make upcoming Android tablets superior to the Ipad. - Android is based on the Linux operating system. You can install the newest version of Android or Linux on older hardware and it actually improves the performance of the device. (I have proven this by installing the current version of Linux on over 25 of our school's EEEpc devices, essentially turning outdated paperweights into functional machines for students to use – potentially saving the district thousands of dollars that it would cost to purchase new hardware and keeping technology in our students' hands) - Android is open-source. This means that anyone can legally modify the operating system to suit his or her needs. Apple, on the other hand, is proprietary, and only legally allows their operating system to be installed on Apple hardware. - Many Android tablets are expandable via MicroSD cards. In order to expand the storage of the Ipad, an external card reader must be purchased. (once again, this is proprietary, and it's an external device. In other words, if you want to expand the Ipad storage, you're going to have a plug-in card reader sticking out of it). - With the Ipad, you have only one option. With Android tablets, you have many options, similar to purchasing a computer. If you purchase an Apple computer, you're limited to a few Apple brand configurations. If you purchase an HP, Dell, Toshiba, Acer, etc, all of these brands are reputable and will accomplish the same tasks. - As more manufacturers begin to market Android tablets, this will drive prices down. Apple has traditionally been FAR more expensive than equivalent specced PCs. I expect this trend to continue with tablets in the long run...(when I say the long run, I mean starting as early as June, if not sooner. - In order to administer and back up an Android tablet it's as simple as putting data on an SD card and then copying it to the device. Back up is done from the device itself, requiring no additional hardware. In order to administer and sync a cart of 30 Ipads, it is necessary to purchase an Apple laptop. As I said earlier, Apple is expensive...In my professional opinion, this is an unnecessary additional expense at a crucial time for our district to save money). Q: If Android is so great, why aren't other schools in the area using it? Most of them are using Ipads if anything. A. There could be several reasons Android is not being used by other schools in the area: 1. Quality tablet technology is a relatively new concept: a. The Ipad itself is only about a year old. b. One of the first true quality Android tablets is the Motorola XOOM and it has only been out about 2 months. - the XOOM carried a hefty $800 price tag when it was released and was sold by Verizon (schools would not be interested in this tablet because most would have no use for a Verizon wireless service contract...schools would want a wifi only version.) - The wifi only version of the XOOM was just released last Friday. It carries a $600 price tag (which is still pricey, but Motorola is able to price high because it currently is one of the only companies that has an Android tablet with its specs). 1. This will change dramatically in the coming months, for example, in June, Samsung will release an Android tablet comparable to the XOOM (actually better in several aspects) with a $500 price tag. 2. In other words, as more tablets are released, competition will cause prices to drop. 2. Currently, Apple does a better job of marketing than Android. a. Turn on your TV for a few hours, chances are you're going to see people in your favorite shows using a computer with a huge Apple logo on it...for years, Apple has successfully marketed their products in movies and television shows. b. Android is free and open source, (where Apple software is restricted to Apple hardware) 1. The fact that Android is open source is both a positive and a negative when it comes to marketing. - It is a positive because this allows Android to be installed on devices by several manufacturers. (think of it in the same way that you think of Windows being able to be installed on Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc computers) - It could be a negative because Android could be the best operating system in the world and if you install it on a poor quality device, it's not going to work as well as if you installed it on a high quality device. c. Apple as a company has been around since April 1, 1976, The Android operating system was released on October 21, 2008. Apple has enjoyed a 32 year head start on marketing. 3. Because the Android is new, it is very possible that personnel in various school districts currently do not fully understand Android, and therefore may be hesitant to adopt it. Q: What is the Nook Color? A. $250 (approximate) E-Reader device by Barnes & Noble. It is capable of being rooted to run a full version of the Android operating system. 1. 8 GB of internal storage a. can be expanded with external micro SD cards b. external cards can be up to 32 GB Q: We are purchasing a tablet to be primarily a textbook replacement. Why not just leave it at that, and be satisfied. The device will be serving its intended purpose. A. I compare this to purchasing a satellite dish with 250 channels and only watching PBS, or Q: What is "rooting"? Are you going to "hack" this device? Is this legal? A: When referring to a Nook Color or any other Android Device, I have used the terms "rooting" and "hacking" interchangeably. 1. Rooting simply means overriding any lock downs on the device and granting administrator access to it. (modifying it to allow the injection of additional or altered code) a. This also means that you will get more bang for your buck because you are essentially giving a $250 device many of the same capabilities that much more expensive devices have. b. This means that a person can install the base Android operating system on the device and customize it. 2. Rooting is COMPLETELY LEGAL! (The worst that could happen is that Barnes & Noble releases a future software update to make the device more difficult to root) 3. The bottom line is once you buy the device, it's yours to do what you want with. 4. According to the Barnes & Noble Terms of Service, rooting the nook color will void your warranty. a. This is true, however, it is possible to restore a rooted device back to stock (the way it was when you first opened the box). -Restoring the device back to stock (and therefore preserving your warranty) can be done easily in under a half hour in the event you needed to make a warranty claim and ship the device back to the manufacturer. b. It is also possible to run Android entirely off the SD card, leaving the stock operating system intact and STILL giving you full customization ability. This will NOT void your warranty because you are leaving the base system untouched. - I compare this to playing Nintendo. (Your experience depends on what disc or cartridge you have in the device). - If you have the SD card in, the device runs the custom Android (with all the extra bells and whistles) - If you do not have the SD card in, the device will run the basic Nook Color operating system.

The dynadock V allows the connection of peripherals and other gear to a laptop with only one USB cable needing to go to the notebook. The dock can be connected to external monitors, mouse, keyboards, printer, router, and other gear.
The dock has four USB ports built-in, LAN port, and jacks for 3.5mm headphones and a mic. The video card in the dock supports up to 1920 x 1080 resolution. Drivers are included that support Windows XP, Vista, and 7. The dock will ship in February for $119.99.

Caught you red-handed, Nadya Suleman! Earlier this month on the TODAY Show, Suleman, mom of 14, denied expressing disgust for babies in an In Touch interview and suggested she might take legal action against the magazine. But, as it turns out, her admission was actually caught on tape.
Plus: Enormous Baby Born in Texas Hospital
In the recording, the freelance reporter asks, "If you had the ability and the money to have more children, would you?"
Suleman responds:
No. I cringe, and I'm not kidding, when I hear a baby cry and I'm outside. I do not like babies. I do not. It's also very hard for me to bond. I bond with my six — the first six I had... But I'm starting to have my own little hypotheses that when a woman has a tremendous amount — a big litter — I think I think something happens in the brain which prevents them from being able to bond. I'm disgusted by babies, and I'm so sorry, I'm just being honest. They make me sick. I couldn't even imagine -– I don't even look at them. I have to look the other way.
When asked if her own babies make her sick she said no, adding:
These are my children. I am actually becoming – because the nannies are gone. ... I am forcing myself to do absolutely everything, with that said, I am bonding with them, so that is occurring naturally.

Her rep is still saying she never gave an interview with In Touch, which means she probably didn't know her words were being recorded, or that they'd come back to haunt her someday. And to clarify: other people's babies disgust her, not her own.
What's your take? Are you surprised that this woman who actively sought to have so many kids via IVF now admits to being disgusted by babies?

Aix en Provence is a compact city and many major sights around the Cours Mirabeau, Mazarin Quarter and Old Town can easily be visited on foot. But, if you want to rest your feet or venture further afield, there are various alternatives.
Click here to book a hotel in Aix en Provence
Click here to read about the ZOU! card, which offers discounts of up to 75% on local bus and rail transport.
To travel around within the Aix city centre and the Greater Aix area (Pays d'Aix), you can buy a ticket from the driver when you board the bus. But it is cheaper to arm yourself with a pre-paid pass.
There are two types of these: a disposable ticket with a magnetic strip (un ticket magnétique) and a renewable card with a chip (une carte à puce) that looks rather like a credit card.
The ticket magnétique is much the more convenient for the short term visitor. You can buy one for a single journey or for various combinations of multiple journeys (see the Aix en Bus website for details). Unsurprisingly, the multi-journey tickets work out cheaper per trip.
You can take as many trips as you like for no extra cost for one hour after validating the ticket. You do this by putting it into the slot at the top of the reader at the entrance to the bus, with the magnetic strip facing upwards. You have to punch the ticket again when you change buses, but you won't be charged.
The chip card (carte à puce) is valid for eight years and obtainable from the Aix en Bus reception desk (address below) on production of ID and a photograph.
It is validated by touching it on the pad at the bottom of the reader at the entrance to the bus. You load it up with credit either for individual trips or for unlimited monthly or annual travel.
Where to buy bus tickets: Single journey tickets are sold on board the bus itself. All pre-paid tickets and passes are on sale at the Aix en Bus reception desk. It's located in the Aix en Provence Tourist Office, in the Allées Provençales, and is open Monday-Saturday.
Alternatively you can get disposable tickets or top up the chip card at various tobacconists' shops (bureaux de tabac) and newspaper kiosks around the city.
Details of where to buy pre-paid bus tickets in Aix are available on the Aix en Bus website. The same website also has details of a new arrival: night buses. These run until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and might come in handy if you're staying outside the town centre.
In addition to the local buses, there is a regular shuttle service from the bus station to Aix TGV station and Marseille-Provence airport at Marignane. Click here for the bus timetable to Aix TGV and Marseille-Provence airport.
There is also a very frequent shuttle service to the Marseille Saint Charles bus and train station. Click here for the bus timetable between Aix and Marseille (select timetable Cartreize 050 in the drop-down menu).
Be sure to take Line 50, which goes along the motorway and takes half an hour (there is also a slow service, Line 51, which stops at numerous local towns along the way). Bonus: there is free wi-fi on board these buses.
For buses outside the immediate city area, in the wider Pays d'Aix region and indeed the entire département of the Bouches du Rhône, Le Pilote is the website to consult.
In 2014 Aix's sparkling new bus station (gare routière) opened on its previous site at avenue de l'Europe. Tel: (+33) 8 91 02 40 25.
The building has been designed under the supervision of Jean-Marie Duthilleul, the architect responsible for the sleek Aix and Avignon TGV stations.
Apparently inspired by the proportions of the Cours Mirabeau, it boasts a very long arcade of elegant metal arches, pictured, where passengers can wait in the shade. Alongside is a huge plant wall - the largest in France - that is not only decorative but intended to reduce noise and air pollution.
The bus station has a long, thin "Espace Voyageurs", a ticket-office / indoor waiting room that's air-conditioned and has (free) toilets, though unfortunately it closes in the very early evening. There's also a little snack bar in the bus station itself, plus more just around the corner on the avenue des Belges.
Since 2003, the Diablines - nippy little electric-powered vehicles, similar to Avignon's Baladines, that are a sort of cross between buses, taxis and milk delivery carts - have scurried around the streets of Aix.
They follow three fixed circuits in the city centre: see the Diabline website for a map. But, instead of picking up and dropping passengers only at bus-stops, they can be hailed down like taxis.
They are, however, a good deal cheaper: in fact they cost about half as much as the "normal" bus. Tickets can only be bought on board from the Diabline's grandly named "pilot".
You can change from the bus network without paying again under the "one hour" rule described above, and children under four travel free.
The Diablines, pictured top left, can carry seven passengers, sit low on the road and are therefore accessible for riders of restricted mobility. And they can duck down narrow or semi-pedestrianised streets that larger traffic can't reach.
They circulate roughly every ten minutes, though the hours of service are somewhat restricted: from 8.30am-7.30pm. The Diablines don't run on Sundays or public holidays.

Click here to read our guide to Aix Centre and Aix TGV train stations.
There is a choice of leading car hire companies at Aix TGV station, and many more in the city. If you are planning to rent a car in Aix, please consider our comparison search engine for all grades of hire car from Smarts to 4x4s and limousines.
Powered by our affiliate partner, it will instantly compare the current rates on offer from all major suppliers at your chosen location to ensure you get the best deal.
If you are renting - or already own - an electric car, you are well catered for in Aix: there is privileged on-street parking and all the city car-parks have designed parking bays with electric sockets (bornes de recharge) to recharge your vehicle.
Driving around Aix can be tricky as much of the centre, especially the Old Town, is now completely closed to cars, with access (via retractable bollards) for locals only.
Even in those parts which you can access, many of the streets are narrow and parking space is at a premium. Foreign-registered or car-hire vehicles parked on the street are also frequent targets for break-ins. A list of municipal car parks can be found on the Aix Tourist Office website.
The most central underground car-park, at La Rotonde, is huge. And it is confusingly divided into two separate zones whose bays are very similarly numbered.
For instance, one area has bay # 4 101 and the other area has bay # 4 0101. If your car seems to have vanished, it could be that you are looking in the "wrong" part of the car-park!
Another tip: watch out for pickpockets hanging around the machines at La Rotonde where you pay for the parking before retrieving your car. It's a popular venue for hustlers and scam artists.
Alternatively, you could use the city's parcs relais - its park-and-ride scheme - leaving your car in one of the car parks outside the city for a very modest daily (or, indeed, monthly or yearly) fee and commuting in by bus.
The car parks are open from 6.30am-9pm, Monday-Saturday, though you can take your car out at any time using your ticket. Each one connects with bus routes into the city centre.
Krypton is by the A8 motorway to the south of Aix, Hauts de Brunet in the north is off the A51 motorway, Route des Alpes, in the north-east, is near the A51 and the N296 and Plan Malacrida is near the A8 motorway to the south-east of the city.
A free bus pass is issued by car park staff to drivers and all their passengers for unlimited trips on one day only. If you are leaving the car for more than one day, you'll need to buy a ticket to return to the car park. Parcs relais website (in French only).
Taxis are plentiful in Aix, with several taxi ranks in the city. One of the largest companies, Taxis Radio Aixois, is based at the bus station on the avenue de l'Europe. Tel : (+33) 6 60 75 71 11.
An alternative is Radio Taxi Mirabeau, 570 route d'Avignon. Tel (+33) 4 42 21 61 61. Or click here to pre-book a holiday taxi online.
Uber cars also now operate in Aix en Provence.
Aix's petit train, or little train, offers tours of the city with earphone commentary in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Greek, Japanese or Chinese. Sleeker and more modern-looking than its traditional Marseille counterpart, it's sometimes called the minitram in the tourist literature.
The train leaves from in front of the statue of Paul Cézanne on La Rotonde at the bottom of the Cours Mirabeau. It offers two tours, one lasting 40 minutes of the city centre and one lasting 50 minutes of the centre plus some of the Cézanne sights. You can buy tickets on board.
The timetable varies depending on the time of year, and the train does not run between mid-November and mid-March. Details, in several languages including English, of the current timetables and ticket prices on the petit train website.
Aix en Provence has no municipal scheme of bikes for hire. However a list of commercial companies offering bike hire can be found on the Aix en Provence Tourist Office website.

Visiting West Hollywood, CA
West Hollywood, affectionately known as WeHo, is a city of less than four square miles completely surrounded by the cities of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Some icons that people associate with Hollywood, like the Sunset Strip, with its many live music clubs, are actually located in the city of West Hollywood.
The city was formed in 1984 from a previously unincorporated area of Los Angeles County adjacent to Hollywood, at the foot of the Hollywood Hills. It was the 84th of 88 cities incorporated in Los Angeles County, making it one of the youngest cities in the county. It is known for being the most gay-friendly city in the country, and therefore, has a high percentage of LGBT residents.
The gay club scene on Santa Monica Boulevard is in contrast to the grunge, punk, hip hop, rock n' roll scene on the Sunset Strip, but it all coexists in relative harmony in WeHo. The other dominant scene in West Hollywood is design, from interiors to fashion to fine art, this is the place to find it.

Fun alphabet activities include making letters out of various materials, "eating" the alphabet and having an alphabet scavenger hunt. These activities not only help children to memorize the letters of the alphabet, but also allow them to recognize them in sight and make correlations of the letters in everyday things.
To make letters out of other materials, consider items such as pipe cleaners, yarn and crafting pompoms. Begin by asking the child how he would create the letter out of the material. If he encounters a difficulty, either show the child how to create the letter, or navigate the steps together, depending on age. For an added step to the project, fasten completed letters to paper or poster board, and encourage the child to draw or name items that begin with the specific letter.
Activities where a child can "eat the alphabet" include eating foods that begin with each letter. Begin with one letter per day, such as eating an apple, or choose several sequential letters per day, adding items that include bananas or carrots. For a different take on the activity, use alphabet cookie cutters to prepare cheese, thin bread or items such as melon. Discuss what each letter is, and ask what words begin with that letter.
Alphabet scavenger hunts are ideal as an indoor or outdoor activity. Begin with "a," or randomly choose letters so the participant cannot plan ahead. Survey the location of the hunt, checking that there are, in fact, items for the letters you want to use. Announcing one letter at a time, the participant finds an item that begins with the letter.

Sex is quite wonderful when the goal is to have children. But sex can also serve as a "glue" in a committed relationship. Most animals have periods when they come into heat, and outside these periods they don't find sex interesting at all. Humans, however, are constantly interested in sex. This sex interest can seem like a waste of energy, but an evolutionary perspective may explain why we function this way.

Sure appreciate the help Eric. I made the changes as per your comments and found I had to add a hidden input to the value for the invoice variable = to the shopping sessionID.
Just completed testing of the IPN in the Sandbox and it passed! "IPN successfully sent." So that looks promissing. At least it is recieving and replying fast with PayPal.
You mentioned to remove the redirects. How will it know weather to go to fail or success pages? Is that part of the xml? Or do I set that through my PayPal Profile: Auto Return & Payment Data Transfer?? I am just wondering, as I will have to make sure that these pages are using https url's right?
What should be my next steps? Confirm that the veriables are being set/recived correctly? I have set up test accounts for the sandbox, however an old post I read a recomendation to test in the real invironment so that I get the final paypal account confirguration adjustments correct. Then some how cancel/reverse the transactions.

Jammu: All cultivable land along the Indo-Pak border, which were used by the Army to lay minefields during Kargil war, would be handed over to the farmers for cultivation, Jammu and Kashmir government has said.
"The government has resolved to demine all cultivable land along Indo-Pak border in Jammu and Kashmir, handover it to border farmers so that they are made self-reliant and prosperous," Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand said on Monday while touring the Khour border in Jammu district.
In 1999 during Kargil war and later Operation Parakaram in 2001, Army laid minefields in the agriculture land of border dwellers.
The border people have been demanding removal of minefield so that they could cultivate their lands, he said, adding that till now over 3000 acres of agriculture land have been demined and handed over to farmers along Indo-Pak border.
Chand said since people living near the border have no other source of income than agriculture.
Referring to the water logging problem during monsoons,
Chand said a mega drain project would be started shortly. He also announced construction of several roads of the block, which would be constructed under NABARD at an estimated cost of Rs 8 crore.

The physical placement of gear and furniture is complete and I'm now starting to wire everything up. This is where my studio ceases to be a lovely catalog photo and becomes the cable equivalent of the paperwork monster from Brazil that swallows Robert De Niro whole.
It would probably be easier if I didn't have this neat-freak-anal-retentive-OCD desire to keep everything looking nice and neat. Worse, I'm not able to do everything at once this time around. The new layout is going to require additional cable purchases, different power distribution, more line level shifting from -10 to +4, a couple of long midi runs, and tying together two different sections of the room so everything lands in the computer.
For those of you who aren't familiar with music gear, most of what's in my studio has the following things to connect and route:
- Audio (anywhere from two to 16+ cables)
- MIDI (typically two cables)
- Power (one cable)
On the surface, not so bad, but multiply that by 40 or 50, then add in wiring patch bays so that things can be routed to different places and the computer interfaces and it starts getting a little overwhelming. The cherry on top is that it's really best to keep all of the power cables physically separated from the others. That might not be so bad if power was always in the same place on each piece of gear, but of course it is not.
It's kind of like playing Tetris with cooked spaghetti.
Today, I've been learning that some of my gear that I thought had unbalanced outputs actually is balanced. Ordinarily, that would be great, but it screws up the patch plan I had already worked out in Excel. To make it worse, some of the units don't have anything definitive in their specs, so I'm relying on Internet knowledge for some of my decisions.
I'm kind of at the point where I'm saying, "screw it," and just hooking a couple of things up. My goal for today is to have the master keyboard and left side of the composition station hooked up, the computer running, and sound coming out the mains. I'm going to try working without a subwoofer for a few weeks and see if that helps with mix translation.
One additional thing I've decided to do is start creating pages on my site for key pieces of gear. This will mostly be my personal reference area where I put all of the links and documents I've found useful, but if it helps others, great! I'm considering using the pages as homes for my "isolated gear" music experiments, where I focus on only writing and recording with a single synth. As I've written before, I want to get to know my equipment much better than I do now, partly to stave off gear acquisition syndrome, and partly because I think that may help with my instrumental work.

Do you love fine art? . . .I do . . . In Los Angeles, California an antiques dealer sold a fake Pablo
Piccasso painting for $2 million.
The art dealer, 70 years old, who owned the Chateau Allegre gallery, told the buyer who purchased the fake that it was worth much more than $2 million. She claimed she was able to give him the deal because she had permission from the Malcom Forbes family to sell it at the lower price and keep the sale private ( raise of eyebrow). The dealer hired a local artist for $1000 to make a copy of the Picasso from a photograph. She even told the artist to lie to the FBI and say she did only restoration work, not any copying. WOW scandalous!
"The Woman in the Blue Hat"
( This is the phony)
The buyer had the painting examined and learned it was a fake. Collectors be extremely careful out there!!!

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has issued the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation, representing cross-industry agreement on an XML-based language for expressing Web site privacy policies.
The W3C was formed to evaluate, recommend and develop common Internet protocols. It's an international industry consortium jointly run by the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT LCS) in the USA, the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) in France and Keio University in Japan. Almost 500 organizations are members of the consortium, including Apple Computer Inc.
P3P was designed by a Working Group of W3C composed of privacy advocates, Web technology leaders, data protection commissioners and global ecommerce companies, according to Tim Berners-Lee, director of the W3C. It's designed to provide a standard, simple, automated way for users to gain more control over the use of personal information on Web sites they visit, he said.
According to W3C info, P3P is, at its most basis level, a standardized set of multiple-choice questions, covering all the major aspects of a Web site's privacy policies. Taken together, the answers present a machine readable version of the site's privacy policy, a clear snapshot of how a site handles personal information about its users.
P3P enabled browsers can "read" this snapshot automatically and compare it to the consumer's own set of privacy preferences. P3P enhances user control by putting privacy policies where users can find them, in a form users can understand, and, most importantly, enables users to act on what they see.
