And then there were calls.
After training... after induction... and after any number of abstract business fucking about type activities that come along with starting any new job (forms, photos, tours, team lunches etc), it was finally time to sit at a terminal with a headset and plug in to our customers.
In some ways this comes as a relief. As the training and the induction and all the other rubbish fairly quickly gets tiresome, at least for me. And a days work, however mundane, does help pass the time.
On the other hand, once you strap on a headset and switch your console to 'Available,' you're exposing yourself to every nut in the country with a phone and too much time on their hands.
Which is to say our customers.
So Friday, after I've plugged in and run through a few stock standard 'Why is your company stealing my money?' enquiries, I get the first of these nutbag type questions. An elderly sounding bloke in NSW who's called up to ask me about his radio.
OLDER GENT: Yes, hello? Yes, well, now, I've got solar electricity attached to my house and it's all been connected and it all appears to be working fine.
ME: (hopeful) Yes?
OLDER GENT: Yes.
Part of me wants, strongly, to leap in at this point and say:
'Well I'm really glad to hear it. Thanks for calling solar billing, have a nice day!'
In a rapid fire patter, cutting off any possibility this bloke will have of adding anything to this opening statement and then disconnecting the call before I have to draw breath and pause.
But my mind is a bit sluggish and so I don't do this. I do nothing in fact, allowing space for the craziness to creep in.
OLDER GENT: And what I want to know is this. Why didn't anyone tell me that when I had the solar connected, it was going to mess up my radio reception?
Some time passes, while I continue to do nothing. At least, I'm not saying anything. What I'm thinking is;
'The answer to that is obvious. Because no one would ever have thought of giving you information on such an insane sounding thing.'
OLDER GENT: Because what's happened, right, ever since I've had the bloody thing put on, I can't listen to the radio during the day! I never had any problems before the solar panels were put in and I don;t have any problems at night, when the bloody thing is off. But during the day the radio is just BRR-SWSSHHHH-BRR. I mean, I can't listen to that. Why didn't anyone tell me this was going to happen?
ME: Well, I guess it's not a common consideration when-
OLDER GENT: Not a common consideration? Other have people have got radios, don;t they? other people have got solar panels. You can't tell me that everyone else is sitting there listening BRR-SWSSHHH-BRR?
ME: Well, no.
OLDER GENT: No. So what I want to know is, what are you going to do about it?
ME: (taking a stab in the dark) Have you thought about buying a new radio? You know, a digital radio?
OLDER GENT: I guess you think you're pretty smart. Well let me tell you this, I have bought a new radio. A digital radio. And it hasn't made any bloody difference. So what else have you got, smarty?
Faced with a question I have no idea about, I turn to the one resource I have access to that was designed with that purpose in mind; Google. I do a search for 'solar system radio interference australia' and get a few hits from forums talking about the same issue. It appears as though the old gent is right. The solar system creates some kind of electrical interference, mild, that can interfere with a radio signal. Although it appears as though this should only be a real problem if the radio signals in question are particularly weak and can normally be solved by moving the radio away from wherever the solar system power and feed lines are located.
I explain this, as simply as possible.
OLDER GENT: Oh I see how it is. So now you want me to wander around the house with my radio in my hand, do you? Wandering about like some sort of twit with a radio, trying to get a signal. That's your solution?
ME: It's that or get rid of the whole solar system. They appear to be your only options, so I know which one seems easier.
OLDER GENT: Hmmm, yeah, I bet you do. Well I guess I'll have to think about it then. I just wish someone had told me about it beforehand. You know, that it was going to cause this problem. It would have been good to know.
ME: Well I can pass your comments along to management. Now, is there anything el-'
OLDER GENT: As a matter of fact there is. You're not getting off that easily. I make my own bread and just recently it seems as though the thing I make it in isn't working properly.
ME: You mean, your oven?
OLDER GENT: No mate. The bloody thing I make it in. The... bread maker.
ME: Oh right.
OLDER GENT: Well that hasn't been working properly. It doesn't get hot enough. Seems like it's not getting enough electricity.
ME: Not enough electricity? I see... So... have you checked the instruction manual? Taken it back to where you bought it from?
OLDER GENT: Course not. That's why I'm asking you.
ME: Of course. Well...
It's Google time again.

Woah, this place has been the talk of the social media town recently.
You know nowadays, as long as you have lots of natural lighting, plant and wood features, I think its already good enough to attract the crowds.
So, hispster wanna be also want to join in the hype and see what so good about it.
And, the time came when we needed a venue for a bridal shower!
I subtly hahhahaha.. suggested this place. You know la, my character of being loud and demanding #ThingsLeoDoes I didn't want to sound bossy in the group consisting some friends that I have not meet before. *closeeyes* After from potential new friends become enemy. Not very good lar hahah
Fortunately, they agreed! Yay, get to go see this place!
It was last LAST Sunday we held our very first cousin's high tea bridal shower.
Now, it's the time where my peers at this age group are starting to get married. The wedding dinners to attend and the gifts to be gifted. Lolol welcome, quarter life. Guess we are moving into a different stage of life.
Anyway, we started the day early with a lunch at Village Park. Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng!
Then, we rushed home to prepare the props in 30 minutes. I think, we did a pretty good job la. *patsback

BSOD while gaming/sometimes watching videos
To start with let me just say im not exactly...good with computers so for all i know this could all be my own fault lol
On my laptop i can run a game and log into my account and pick a character but as soon as it loads the character i get blue screened, it sometimes happens when im watching a movie or something but only on the rare occasion but it happens every time i try to play a game.
Earlier tonight i restored to factory settings and all was going well and i was installing a game until at about 54% i got a blue screen.
my laptop is 64-bit and has the original operating system on it which is the pre-installed version that came on it.
the laptop is about a year old i think.
ill try and upload the log thingy, id appreciate any help anyone can give but like i said not brilliant with computers so simple answers/instructions would also be appreciated lol thanks :)

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

"The Bodies Left Behind" is the pilot episode of the 'Life After People' series by the History Channel. The resume of the episode states:
"In the first episode of new series Life After People, we'll see what happens to some of the bodies left behind. Most are embalmed and buried, some are mummified, while others have been cryogenically frozen. Will any of them truly achieve immortality? Or will they be outlived by other memorials to mankind, like the Statue of Liberty or the Sistine Chapel.
This is just part of a journey that will take us to the future of cities such as Boston and Houston, as well as haunting sites already devoid of man."
The series is an exploration of what will happen to our planet – should the catastrophic happen and we all suddenly disappear a week from next Tuesday. As a concept, it's thoroughly intriguing and the first episode certainly does a good job of teasing the audience with enough visuals and hypotheticals. But there's a catch to it all. There's a new aesthetic to documentaries – one which focuses on flashy transitions and quick-hit facts which tends to emphasize breadth, rather than depth. That is precisely the impact of this episode – which, unfortunately, doesn't serve the overall concept as well as it might have otherwise.
The structure of the episode is to follow the fate of humanity's quest for "immortality" from the mummies of Ancient Egypt, to our proudest architectural creations, to cryogenics, to the "Immortality Drive" (a computer representation of the human genetic code) in orbit on the international space station. The problem here is a bit of disconnect with the episode's title – which implies a discussion of the human "bodies" that are left after the end of our species. Getting by that minor inconsistency, there's quite a bit of intriguing information to be had.
Jumping from one day to months, years, decades and millennia into the future, the episode describes the fate of landmarks such as the Houston Astrodome, the Statue of Liberty, Boston's Old North Church, and Michaelangelo's frescoes. The emphasis, of course, is to detail just how long these relics of humanity will hang around. In case you're wondering, most of these structure won't last much more than two-hundred years after people are gone. And the episode convincingly portrays the ravages of time by way of computer-generated effects.
The centerpiece of the episode is an extended tour of Hashima Island, in Japan. Nicknamed "Battleship Island" (because of its shape), it was once a town of thousands built around a coal mine. But it was abruptly deserted thirty-five years ago and has been without humanity ever since. As a result, Hashima Island is a case study in how concrete and steel structures withstand the elements – particularly those of a marine environment. If there's a reason to watch the episode, it's the Hashima Island segment.
The segment features Brian Burke-Gaffney and the way the documentary puts the story of the island (with his help) is a little bit like this:
"35 years after the disappearence of people, homes, offices and factories are cracking and subsiding, as nature takes over. It's a future that has already come to pass in one remote corner of the world. Several miles off the southwest coast of Japan a forsaken island stands lifeless and decaying. Hashima Island was once a thriving coal-mining town and homes to thousands of people. Now it's abandoned offices and residcential buildings are literally exploding under nature's relentless hands. Because of the unsafe conditions Hashima is strictly off limits to visitors. In the 1890s Japan's Mitsubishi company began mining coal from the seafloor beneath Hashima. At its peak in 1959 the 15 acre island was home to more than 5000 workers and their families, the highest population density recorded on Earth. In 1974 as Japan began favouring petrloium over coal Mitsubishi closed the mine and relocated the entire population to the mainland. 35 years later, nothing remains but decayed buildings and ghostly memories. These rooms once echoed with the laughter of children playing, now all that remains is the corroded remains of their toys. Overgrown and forgotton the school playground in now rusting scrap metal. Hashima is a laboratory for showing what happens to reinforced concrete in a savage environment. Every year the typhoon season delivers rains and winds up to 100mph, wlilst huge ocean waves smash into buildings. Scienctific studies of concrete core samples reveal that the buildings most exposed to the ocean had a salt content 15 times greater than the others. The concrete buildings themselves gave the island a warlike profile and even a new nickname "Battleship Island". The wooden fasades of balconies were quickly destroyed, the many passageways and stairs that connected the buildings are now falling apart."
You can watch this here – "Life After People: The Bodies Left Behind". The segment starts at roughly 19 minutes and 37 seconds.

Our environment looks as follows:
- MOSS 2007 Site/Central Admin (Enterprise) on Server A
- SQL Reporting Services 2008 R2 on Server B
- Report created on workstation using Report Builder 3.0
- SharePoint Library (with Promoted InfoPath fields) is the XML datasource
The report generates perfectly fine in development, but once loading the RDL up to the SP Site we get the following error when trying to view:
An error occurred during client rendering.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
Using this generic information we have checked into numerous apparent fixes, from confirming settings in the Central Admin, to changing the Zone Authentication to NTLM, to ensuring Anonymous Access is disabled, as well as some tweaks in IIS, etc.
We're still not having any luck getting the report to generate.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
We have installed Reporting Services 2008 integrated with MOSS with SQL Server 2008 on a 64 bit platform.
The environment has worked fine in test (but the servers are not hardend).
With the production environment, any attempt to export from a report into another format (eg excel, tiff etc) results in an unexpected error within SharePoint requiring closing the browser and reopening.
There are no details behind the error. We can also find no traces of the error within any of the logs (SharePoint, Reporting Services, Windows event log etc)
When the report is opened directly from Reporting Services (ie
http://servername:8080/reportserver) the report exports fine. Similarly, if the report is opened directly from Report Builder 2, or through opening Report Builder 2 from SharePoint there is no issue. This issue
only happens when the report is invoked directly through SharePoint.
We can only assume that this issue has something to do with server hardening/UAC as we have

Ahhh…Saudi Arabia: land of gleaming deserts, historic mosques, rich oil fields, and home to the United States government's closest allies in the Middle East (other than Israel, of course.)
The U.S. and Saudi Arabia have had an intimate friendship for decades: the monarchy providing land for the U.S. military to camp on (and bases from which said military conducts its war-mongering); and last year the Saudi government paid 60.5 billion dollars to the U.S., in its biggest weapons sale to date.
But that's not why I'm writing this….
The ongoing fight for the right of women to drive a car in Saudi Arabia continues. Popping the trunk of a car, changing the oil, climbing into the driver's seat, and driving wherever she needs to go. Simple, tiny, daily things that any autonomous individual needs to do. But you can't be a woman in one of the world's richest countries and drive a car!
What else can't you do?
Well, you can't get an operation unless your male guardian authorizes it. You can't work unless your male guardian authorizes it. You cannot leave the country unless your male guardian authorizes it. So, maybe driving a car is relative….if you can't go to the airport to board a plane, search for a job and work it, or go to the hospital to have your appendix removed. After all, if there's such an extreme prohibition against what a woman can and cannot do, where's she going to drive to?
And yet, the burgeoning movement of Saudi women determined to sit behind the wheel–to be the driver–persists.
Five women were arrested for driving yesterday in the kingdom, four of which were riding in a car together, begging the question: are there four steering wheels in the vehicle? Or is the implicit danger found not just in one woman driving, but in women banding together and attempting to free themselves from the enormous amount of legal, physical, emotional, cultural, and religious constraints that all women in Saudi Arabia face?

How To Choose A Recording Studio
There are endless questions you could ask a potential recording studio before you commit to a booking. However some are much more important than others, so for example "does the studio have a coffee machine?" should not be top of the list!
Below are a few questions that should be asked though, before you make that all-important decision.
1. Can I use a home-studio?
You can use a home studio but the finished product will not be of a high enough standard to send to prospective record labels. A professional recording studio can give you the high quality finish you need plus the use of a qualified sound engineer; and the added bonuses of sound proofing and enough space to fit the whole band in is a big help as well.
2. Do I need to book a large studio?
No. Small studios with the right equipment can give you the same quality recording and benefits as many of the larger studios but for a cheaper price.
3. How much will a studio cost to hire?
This depends on many things but hourly charges can range from £5 to over £200 (I am only expert in UK prices!). Most studios provide the option of booking the entire day which consists of a set number of hours. By doing this you will get a small discount and the benefit of knowing exactly how many hours you have. Day rates range from £50 to well over £1000 for the large studios. The price you pay usually includes the services of a sound engineer but doesn't include the cost of your master tapes; remember to budget anywhere up to £50 for your tapes.
4. How long will I need in the studio?
Again this depends on many factors. If you are well prepared, know your material by heart and have played together as a band for a considerable length of time then you should be able to record and mix between 2 and 5 songs in a typical session of 8 hours (although in order to complete 5 songs the band would have to play 'live' as apposed to recording each individual track). The professionalism of the band members and the sound engineer will also affect how much gets done in a day.
The number of days you need will ultimately depend on how many songs you want to record. Remember that recording and mixing always takes a lot longer than you imagine so make sure to budget sufficiently for this. A full album can take anywhere up to 14 full days studio time with approximately half of this time being spent on the mix down. For this reason you, as a band must be as perfect as possible with regard to your musicianship otherwise you may end up paying for extra days to finish the mixing stage.
5. Does it matter what kind of music I play?
No. An experienced engineer will be able to produce any type of music you give him/her. Check that the studio has all the equipment you will need however as styles such as hip-hop and dance music may need specialist sound effects that some studios won't have.
You could look around for a specialist studio that is known for producing your style of music but these can be more expensive than a normal studio and there is no guarantee that your master tapes will turn out any better.
6. How can I find out if the studio is any good?
Ask friends and other musicians if they have used the studio or if they know anyone who has. Personal recommendations are a good start as musicians will not promote a studio who did an unsatisfactory job on their recordings. If someone has used the studio you're interested in ask if you can listen to the recordings they produced.
However if you can't find anyone phone the studio and ask to make an appointment to look around and meet the staff. Most studios will happily allow you to visit and will play you some of their productions if you ask.
7. Will I have an input on how the final mix sounds?
Yes. Any reputable studio will insist you are present for the mixing stage. At the end of the day it is your music and your recording session. You are the ones paying for production and so it is totally up to you to ensure that the final product is something you are happy with.
Overall you are looking for a studio to suit your needs that offer rates within your budget, the services of an experienced sound engineer, an excellent reputation for their sound quality and professionalism and helpful, friendly staff that will make your recording experience worthwhile and productive.

Book Blurb
Romeo & Juliet - was this what really happened?
When Juliet Roberts is asked to make sense of an ancient Italian manuscript, she little suspects that she will find herself propelled into the midst of one of the greatest love stories of all time. But this is only the beginning. As more hidden secrets come to light, Juliet discovers that the tragic tale of her famous namesake might have had a very different outcome...
A favourite classic story with a major new twist.
When Juliet Roberts is asked to make sense of an ancient Italian manuscript, she little suspects that she will find herself propelled into the midst of one of the greatest love stories of all time. But this is only the beginning. As more hidden secrets come to light, Juliet discovers that the tragic tale of her famous namesake might have had a very different outcome...
A favourite classic story with a major new twist.
My Review
The story begins set in the present. A young woman named Juliet is asked to translate a very old manuscript by her grandfather. What she discovers hidden amongst the pages of the book stun her and reveal the true secrets behind the story of Romeo and her own namesake, Juliet. Being a bit of a Shakespeare fan I had wondered what this book could add to one of the most loved and well-known love stories. Well, I was so pleasantly surprised by this book that it actually just made me love the story of Romeo and Juliet even more. The Ghostly Father certainly does add quite a few plot twists to what might have actually happened to the young lovers and how their relationship and the heart-breaking ending in Shakespeare's play came about. It is a story of two families bound by tradition and fighting in feud where the reason for the fighting has since long been forgotten. One of the central characters of the book is actually a monk named Fra Lorenzo and the story is told from his perspective. Fra Lorenzo has one or two secrets of his own and these add more mystery to the story which is driven by Fra Lorenzo's actions and interventions.
This is an extremely well written story and difficult to review without revealing spoilers. Suffice to say, that the planning and plot development throughout the book is meticulous with research into the original story of Romeo and Juliet being evident throughout the book. Sue Barnard has quite clearly done her homework. The language throughout the book is beautiful and as a reader, I instantly felt transported to that era.
Even if you have never read the original story of Romeo and Juliet, read this book! In itself it is a fantastic story of a love blossoming between two young people caught up in the middle of warring families. Their desperation to be together is heartbreaking and the very clever plot twists will surprise and delight you! The sacrifices and bravery of Fra Lorenzo are both humbling and shocking. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
About the Author
Sue Barnard was born in North Wales but has spent most of her life in and around Manchester. After graduating from Durham University, where she studied French and Italian, Sue got married then had a variety of office jobs before becoming a full-time parent. If she had her way, the phrase "non-working mother" would be banned from the English language.
Since then she has had a series of part-time jobs, including some work as a freelance copywriter. In parallel with this she took several courses in Creative Writing. Her writing achievements include winning the Writing Magazine New Subscribers Poetry Competition for 2013. She is also very interested in Family History. Her own background is stranger than fiction; she'd write a book about it if she thought anybody would believe her.
Sue has a mind which is sufficiently warped as to be capable of compiling questions for BBC Radio 4's fiendishly difficult Round Britain Quiz. This once caused one of her sons to describe her as "professionally weird." The label has stuck.
Sue joined the editorial team Crooked Cat Publishing in 2013. Her first novel, The Ghostly Father (a new take on the traditional story of Romeo & Juliet) was officially released on St Valentine's Day 2014. Her second novel, a romantic mystery entitled Nice Girls Don't, is due for release in July 2014.
Join us for a facebook promo event on 21st July to celebrate this great book. There's prizes to be won!

You're such an excellent reviewer, JB! I appreciate your insights. This would be a tough novel to pull off, and it seems that Sue has done it. My interest is further piqued!
Sue Barnard says:
Thank you for a lovely review, JB!
Sheryl Browne says:
Mine too. Not sure I would be clever enough to even attempt it. Quite clearly, Sue has done an excellent job. :) xx
I really like the sound of this! Romeo and Juliet was probably my favourite Shakespearean tale in secondary school. The premise is intriguing, that's for sure!
Thanks for sharing!

Verse 32 reads, This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
Regardless of how we interpret this, it must fit into the message of "submit to one another" that we've seen already. Some believe Paul refers to the purpose of marriage as being, from the beginning, a picture of Christ and the church. I am reluctant to accept that based on these reasons:
1) Marriage was given before the Fall where God's initial intention was not to establish an assembly of people apart from the world. All the world loved him.
2) If church is an "assembly of believers" in an informal sense (which I believe it is with qualification) then even Adam and Eve were an assembly before the Fall. Their marriage wouldn't be needed to represent their relationship with God, since they already had a relationship with God.
3) God did not say "man was alone" because he was thinking that Messiah needed more people in his church. "Man was alone" because man was actually alone and needed a companion. This parallel doesn't work with the Messiah as he wasn't alone and in need of a companion. The Holy Trinity is infinite companionship already.
4) Marriage is a good thing in itself. That it is a parallel picture of Christ and the church does not negate that marriage is intrinsically good and ordained by God for its own sake.
I think Paul is getting at something else here. I think he is getting at the mystery of marriage as well as the mystery of the church. Both are born in the heart and mind of a God who loves. That humans have a union of one flesh is a mystery that God revealed in Eve. That God loves rebel humans and unites them with himself through the Jewish people is also a mystery that God revealed in the Messiah. In Scripture, mystery doesn't usually mean "something difficult to understand." It usually carries a definition of "something we didn't know about, but now we do." If we said "revealed secret," in place of "mystery," we'll be close to its meaning. Both the marriage of husband and wife and the marriage of Messiah and the church are mysteries or revealed secrets.
The way marriage points to Christ and the church, as far as I see it, is that humans were made for communion, just as God exists in communion within the Trinity. Community among humans is one way we are made in God's image. Perhaps Paul highlights the mystery of Christ and the church, beyond the mystery of marriage, because God's purposes of pure love in marriage is being redeemed again through the Messiah, his work, and his resurrected life.
Notice, just like with the wives, no mention is given to the "roles" of the husband. He is to lay his life down (though elsewhere in Scripture the woman is to do the same, for the greatest love is to lay your life down for your friends—John 15:13). No mention of authority is given or protecting and providing roles. Only serving, deferment, and love. Based on what I read in this passage, it is quite unclear to me what a husband is "in charge of" in marriage. What I see is that he is to ensure his wife is treated supremely by him, even if it means losing his own head. When the wife submits to the husbands love, the mutual vulnerability paints the only portrait God gave us of what the Trinity is like. Yet in the church today, much energy is placed on the need for "authority" for a marriage to work. Paul, however, emphasizes without confusion or debate that the recipe for a well-ordered marriage is love. We would do well to explore joyfully all the implications of love, of which there is much evidence than to preclude that reward with a culturally-driven need to emphasize "authority" of which there is little evidence.
Next up: a look at the currently popular passage on "love and respect."

Technology has supported research in wonderful ways. One way to simplify your statistical data analysis work is by using the SPSS software package. This is one of the most popular technological tools that help researchers and statisticians in various academic fields, especially in social sciences. One very useful software program in the SPSS package is AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures).
AMOS can strongly support your research by making it easier for you to conduct SEM (structural equation modeling) analysis. You can efficiently compare different models using AMOS. Then, these models can be confirmed or refined, if required. It also helps you extend the methods of standard multivariate analysis and to present your models more precisely and accurately. To conduct SEM, you can now use multiple latent variable indicators with AMOS.
When SEM is conducted using AMOS, you will be able to generate accurate statistics for multiple equations. Using its simple features, you will also be able to build models in a graphical manner. You will not only be able to extend the standard techniques of factor analysis and correlation, but also of regression and analysis of variance. Thus, conducting SEM using AMOS can reflect several complex statistical relationships in a quicker way.

Mosaic Light
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 ESV
When we feel broken, our thoughts lean toward "How can light shine from a shattered pile of glass?"
I propose that it is even better. The mosaic of life is rich. Notice that our light is to shine before others. The shards come together to form new shapes, ones that light the path brilliantly for the broken behind us. The arrangement gives off patterns, unique to the circumstances that formed them.
In the darkness, Christ's radiance shines as the singular beacon drawing our eyes to Him.
Only Christ is capable of casting out polished and unmarred beams. Yet, He is called the Redeemer. Does He not call us in our brokenness? Allowing partnership with our very maker in lighting the path?
If our way was unmarked by troubles and pain would we look for him in the first place?
Our "good works" can showcase our refusal to accept what life has given us and distract us from His healing.
Determine to look for God's hand in crafting us, molding us… beautifully.
There is saying by Leonard Cohen, "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
I would reverse that idea. Without a crack in our exterior, no light would get out.Those fissures become gifts to encourage those stumbling around us. Glowing markers along the rutted road.
Do not be discouraged by your fragments. Our creative God knows how to blend our pieces with His tender hand. The outpouring of light then, could leave no doubt about the source. In the midst of our light, shines the bright hope of Christ. Only God could receive the glory, for no other craftsman could offer such beauty.
Singer Bebo Norman captures this idea with these words:
"Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I'm half a man here
So come make me whole"
My light contains slivers of glass so fragmented was sure could never be whole. What joy to see that I was wrong. We can walk in bold confidence, assured that our light, our very personal and particular light, is shining before another, profiling Jesus in unique pattern. Each step, triumph.
If you were blessed by these words from my heart, please share them with someone else who is hurting. Just copy the link and pass it on…

I don't usually think of myself as a whimsical traveler, but sometimes, a friend calls you up on a Thursday evening and says, 'Hey, I'm going to New York City on Saturday. Want to come?' And I look at plans for the weekend- some work for my job I hadn't been able to get to during the week, cleaning the pool, laundry-- and realize that I'd really rather hit the road with a sock and some good company. I live north of Boston, so doing this as a day trip was going to take a certain amount of stamina. We were up at five-thirty, on the road at six, picked up our friend at six-thirty, arrived in Stamford CT in time for the 8:50 train and were walking out of Grand Central at a quarter to ten.
I should perhaps clarify that the stamina wasn't actually mine, since I got in the car and promptly fell asleep for another couple of hours...
We spent a lot of time looking for books at the Strand (we found them), and walking around looking at architecture. The afternoon found us at the Brooklyn Art Museum, and we walked some more before heading back into Greenwich Village for dinner. I liked this street in Brooklyn.
Notes for the frugal- We shipped a boxful of books back to (beautiful tax-free) NH- and it cost less than the NY state sales tax. Yes, shipping cost less than carrying them out with us. (Because when you ship to an out of state location, any tax is paid to the destination state, if applicable.) Whee! And two orders of excellent Chinese dumplings with two drinks, an order of steamed pork buns and a vast sesame pancake cost us $5.75 -that was lunch for two. Who says there aren't any bargains in the big city?!
The sock:
The Fools Rush Sock by Cassiana- a lovely design, just enough complexity to be interesting yet simple enough to show off the yarn well. You might remember that I recently used the lace ribbing from this pattern for the fan lace socks. The yarn is Trekking XXL. I'm quite charmed by the colorway- I had no idea what this was going to look like knitted. Clearly, I've been underestimating the potential of these seemingly odd-looking plies.
Sunday, not surprisingly, was a day of sleeping late, staggering around in a daze and knitting something uncomplicated. It rained off and on all day, so I didn't even feel badly about not doing anything. (Okay, the pool still needs cleaning. I feel a little badly about that.) Less complex knitting means the Log Cabin Moderne, now up to about 18 inches on a side. When I can get the cat away from it.
Also cooking- I keep thinking one of these days we need to declare a 'clear out the freezer month', and not getting around to it. But we made a good start yesterday- some cooked chicken, mashed potatoes, a random can of chicken broth and some ancient frozen corn got turned into *vastly* more attractive chicken pot pies... (there were some intermediate steps involving grilled onions and making gravy, but the end result was lovely). And of course this let us avoid anything as strenuous as grocery shopping (something which should definitely be considered when we run out of pot pie). Although-- what I mainly need is fruit, and I *do* still have that bag of rhubarb in the freezer ready to be made into sauce....generally motivating myself to do something isn't a problem if I can convince myself that it's an alternative to shopping!

What a beautiful street! Like San Francisco, only more solid-looking.ReplyDelete
We're having an eat-out-the-freezer maybe not month but several weeks' worth, and it is amazing how much chicken there was. But at least there's enough chocolate in the cupboards to make up for it. (Hmm. Chicken mole'?)
I have a friend who's addicted to Trekking. Now I see why. It's so not what I'd expect from the skein.ReplyDelete
That sounds like a lovely impulse day trip. Sometimes those are the best.

Bloomberg Law: Privacy & Data Security brings you single-source access to the expertise of Bloomberg Law's privacy and data security editorial team, contributing practitioners,...
Jan. 31 — A data breach notification bill (H.B. 224) introduced in the New Mexico House Jan. 29 would require covered entities to notify affected individuals within 10 days of discovering a breach of their unencrypted personal information and notify the state attorney general within 10 business days of discovering a breach if more than 50 New Mexico residents must be notified.
The bill includes unique provisions regarding payment card breaches, including ones that would set a shorter notification deadline and allow card issuers to sue to recover costs associated with a breach and individuals to sue for statutory damages.
In addition to breach notification requirements, H.B. 224, which was introduced by Rep. William R. Rehm (R), the measure seeks to add data security and data disposal requirements for companies operating in the state
If H.B. 224 is enacted, New Mexico would join the roster of 46 states and the District of Columbia with data breach notification laws.
H.B. 224 would require that companies facing the breach of unencrypted payment card data "notify each merchant services providers to which the credit card number or debit card number was transmitted" within two business days of discovering a breach.
Unlike the general data breach notice requirement, the bill would set a risk of harm threshold for when notice is required for payment card breaches.
H.B. 224 would require notification in a payment card breach if an individual's magnetic strip or other listed information is disclosed:
Under the proposed law, if the breach of card data involves a breach of an card reader or the improper retention of payment card stripe data, card issuers could sue to recover administrative costs, such as replacing cards, covering fraudulent charges and covering the costs of notification.
Target Corp.'s hacking breach affecting millions of customers has raised interest in payment card security and breaches.
The measure would require companies to "implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information to protect the personal identifying information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure."
In addition, companies would be required to include those data security standard in contracts with "non-affiliated third parties," with which they shared personal information.
H.B. 224 would mandate that personal data contained in electronic, paper or other form be disposed of in a way "to make the personal identifying information unreadable or undecipherable."
Under the proposed law, the state attorney general would be authorized to go to court to seek injunctive relief and recovery of actual damages related to a breach.
If the court determined that a failure to provide breach notification was the result of a company "knowingly or recklessly" violating the law, it could impose a civil penalty of the greater of $5,000 or $10 per instance of failure to notify, up to a maximum of $150,000.
In addition, the law would establish an individual right of action. Individuals would be allowed to sue for actual damages or statutory damages of $100. If a court found a company's conduct to be "willful," then it would be authorized to award the greater of three times the actual damages or $300 in statutory damages.
H.B. 224 was referred Jan. 29 to the House Consumer & Public Affairs Committee and House Judiciary Committee for consideration.
In addition to New Mexico, only Alabama, Kentucky and South Dakota don't have any type of data breach notice law.
The Kentucky House Jan. 30 unanimously approved a public sector data breach bill.
Alabama's Legislature convened Jan. 14. As of Jan. 31, no breach notice bills had been introduced.
South Dakota's Legislature convened Jan. 14. But as of Jan. 31, no breach notice bills had been introduced.
H.B. 224, as introduced, is available at http://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/14%20Regular/bills/house/HB0224.pdf.

As I mentioned in May, the program for "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 802.11n Draft 2.0″ products was to get started in June, and last Friday it bore first fruit as the first router and adapter were certified:
The wait for the first 802.11n draft 2.0 products is over. D-Link announced Friday that it was the first company to have its products certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which controls standards for wireless networking.
The D-Link Extreme N Router and Xtreme N Notebook Adapter were the first products to get the stamp of approval from the Alliance, although many other competing products are in the chute to follow. Both products are based on Atheros' XSPAN WLAN technology.
Once again, the point here is that draft 2.0 products should be upgradeable to the final standard when it is approved. They should also be compatible with other draft 2.0 products although that is less certain.
[...] When last we visited the upcoming 802.11n standard for Wi-Fi, the IEEE was working slowly on the official standard while manufacturers were rushing out and certifying Draft 2 compatible products. Now The Register reports that there's a spanner in the gears since some outstanding patents actually threaten the IEEE adoptability of the 802.11n standard. [...]

As the iPad 2 continues to sell well, rumors abound over when Apple will finally launch the next version of the tablet, the iPad 3. Recently, Digitimes reported thatApple will likely release the iPad 3 in the first quarter of 2012, and the device would come with a host of improvements that, given Apple's history, should ensure that the product stays atop the tablet space for the foreseeable future.
For its part, Apple hasn't said when it will launch the iPad 3. In fact, the company hasn't even said that it's working on a follow-up model to the iPad 2. But as we look ahead at the many products that will be coming to store shelves in 2012, it's clear that waiting to launch the iPad 3 until after the first quarter of 2012 would be a huge mistake on Apple's part. The smart move is to launch the device in the first quarter, as Digitimes' sources have said it will.
Read on to find out why an iPad 3 would be far more successful iflaunched in the first quarter of 2012 rather than later on in the year.
1. A design refresh is in order
Further reading
When the iPad 2 launched earlier this year, it came with an awfully similar design to the original iPad. Apple likely did that to keep costs down and increase margins. But with companies like Sony innovating on tablet designs,it's time for Apple to reassert itself as the leader in that market. The sooner it does so, the better.
2. The competition is catching up
When the iPad 2 launched with a dual-core processor, dual cameras and other important features, it was leading in power. But now, devices like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and others have surpassed it. And with more tablets featuring quad-core processors being prepared for next year, Apple better get its own high-powered option on store shelves before its current device looks obsolete in comparison.
3. The Kindle Fire is catching on
If Apple didn't have a single competitor to worry about, it wouldn't need to push the next iPad to store shelves. But because of the Kindle Fire's popularity, it's timeApple regained some of the lost spotlight and drove the point home to consumers and enterprise users alike that it's still the top player in the tablet market.
4. Android is gaining some popularity
Last year, Android wasn't a concern for Apple in the tablet market. Even earlier this year, the operating system was falling short. But over the last several months, thanks to devices like the Kindle Fire and Galaxy Tab 10.1, Android is starting to gain some ground on Apple. A new iPad might be able to stymie Android's growth.

Saturday for some reason I ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast. I did manage to have a Shakeology for lunch, because my church was having and Apple Dumpling thing and I didn't want to totally over do everything. We got there and well I had ONE Apple Dumpling, then my daughters only liked the ice cream, so there sat two perfectly good Apple Dumplings. I hate to waste things especially when money is really tight right now, so yes I ate another, but I did not eat three!! After church we headed out to our friends house to meet up with my husband JR. Oh, and we are now the proud owners of a four wheeler! Well, we went mudding!! And let me tell ya I had a blast!! Getting on that four wheeler and pounding through HUGE mud pits is just so much fun!!

So, we ordered pizza........ Sunday wasn't too bad other than I finished off a bag of Doritos...
|Yes, that is mud plastered all over my face.
Monday, I spent almost the whole day paying for what I had done over the weekend.... I was almost glued to the toilet seat! My stomach felt to awful!! Well, that's behind me. I picked myself up and started fresh Monday and so far have been great today.
I never fail at my exercises though, that's my true addiction..... And yes I will admit, I am addicted to Fitness!! If I don't get something in I feel like crap!! Will do an update on how the swimming is going later this week. So, here was my Tri training for last week!!

Sailed on a Ship to Redstone, got attacked by pirates. Captured their ship after failing many jumps before going to Redstone. Tried to sail ship, hit wall. Towed it with them to Redstone. Had ship washed by dock boy.
Tried to deliver cargo to tower, couldn't get in. Waited a day, tried again, failed. Snuck around the back at night and climbed the wall. Leaped over to get knocked out by magic. Further failed jumping resulted in falling through the roof of a house on a family eating dinner. Finally made it over wall, knocked out again.
Guard knocked out, got into tower and explored. Left tower and headed to location of old men. Find signs of battle, leave ruin to save them. Find them being cooked for food, throw expanding cube to distract savages, grab thing they needed, run. Got away, fixed thing.
Got back to Redstone, everyone happy, gave them free bricks and other nonsense stuff. Finally trained on boating, kinda.

The City of Goodwill
Carter Rake
The Ventrue Primogen. Remnent of the old rule.
Camarilla Thoughts:
Carter Rake, truly an interesting specimen. He has survived since the previous reign, and still sits on the, "Baron's", council. I am unsure if that makes him a great asset, or a traitor. Only time will tell.
Anarch Thoughts:
What the fuck is up with this guy? He's been in this city for decades, and when we finally start removing the elders, he stays! Bullshit.
Objective Background:
Little is known about Carter, except that he has been a part of the city's Primogen since Layton first became the Prince. He has resided as the Ventrue Primogen since then, and even after James took control of the city, Carter held his position. This confused and angered many of James's allies, especially his more prominent Ventrue allies, but as the years passed, it seems to have been forgotten.

Anyone have advice on which roll-on bedliner to use for my 74 3/4 ton Chevy 4X4?
I would try a herculiner. I saw them use it on TNN Pick up show, it it seemed like a good system.The duplicolor system is pretty much the same I think
The herculiner is a great product.I used it on my pickup and my atvs.

Charming Dogs on a Beautiful Caribbean Island

See more of Fipsi (AKA Bubbles, AKA KD) here.
"Those days I am retired and watch our house in Italy."
-Fipsi, translated by Olivia
"Blacky had a promising start: as the show dog for the Worldvets at the CC school. After that you could see her roaming the streets, playing with every dog on the island and following people that were walking their dogs. She had many homes where she would go to for a couple of nights, but her most steady address was Debbie Cooper who usually fed her. At X-mas 2011 Wish Willy took her in, determined to find a permanent home for this sweet dog as there were already 3 other dogs at the property. After a couple of months we found a new home for Blacky and everyone was happy. Except for Blacky, because she didn't like her new location and kept breaking out. She went back to Wish Willy and after a while Debby thought: why don't I adopt Blacky? And that's where she is now. The streetdog is still in her and every now and then she will roam the streets again, but she now has a permanent address to go back to."

"We got Punch & Pujo when they were 5 weeks old, almost 6 years ago now. Little did we know that 2 male dogs from the same litter is about the worst combination you can get, but in the end they turned out to be ok. They scare many locals, especially when they're together and they're very fond of chasing iguanas. Besides that Pujo is the lazy one and likes to hang out in a chair, while Punch is the alpha dog and has to watch everything. Together with Scruffy they have a good life at Wish Willy.
(Punch is the grey one, Pujo the more brownish one)"
– Monique
My name is Fred Prost. Fourteen years ago a sweet little puppy entered our lives on Caye Caulker. I was owner of Seaview Hotel (Barefoot Beach Hotel, today). It was winter and my wife's cousin was visiting. Fipsi first started hanging around with her cousin Marcus while he was visiting but when he left this cute little guy kept coming back and as these things go, we simply got attatched to him and soon …we had a dog.
His name is a German word that says everything about his lively personality. Now, at this time I was spending my summers in Berlin away from the island and the plan was to leave him with our summer manager Barbara. As the time came closer, it became obvious that we could not part with him for 5 months, so the plan was set in motion to take him with us. Fipsi's first of what would be many world adventures would start soon. He´s always been a champion traveler ever since. Until I finally left Caye Caulker for good, he traveled back and forth to Europe 3 times. Always unfazed and ready when his travel box came out to do it again….the important thing was, to come along.
Since then he lived with us in Berlin. Then we moved to the Alps in the south of Germany to be a virtual snow bunny. Even his first winter, he grew a thick furry coat and enjoyed, beyond our wildest hopes, all the snow he could jump into. The deeper the better. Half the year he is also in Italy in our summer home. All travel is for him just a cakewalk.
At 14 now, he seems to have a little ouch in his back sometimes but is still as lively and playful as any young dog. Because he took mostly care of himself wandering around Caye Caulker as a puppy, he still is totally fixated about anything to do with FOOD. He never forgets anyone or anywhere he´s gotten a treat. He is as sweet as any dog I've ever had. Always especially attentive when someone at home is sick. Kind to everyone he meets. He is a joy to everyone who knows him and has made our lives richer with the love he spreads.
Fipsi is getting old but we hope and are sure he will be in our little family for a while yet. There is just so much life in him and the joy of living. He is the greatest joy we brought back with us from Caye Caulker. If he could write, he could tell quite a story to his old buddies who played with him on the beach daily. And the endless beach boy he still is. He has a bond to sand whenever we bring him to the beach.
Thank you for allowing me to share his story.
