text: So I'm definitely looking into getting a fretless bass here very soon... My question is, which fingerboards are strong enough to stand up to roundwounds and some slap playing? Is a phenowood/rockwood/diamondwood board my only hope? I've been looking at a Zon, Sadowsky, or possibly (and a lot cheaper) a Peavey Cirrus. The Zon would of course have a phenowood fingerboard, Sadowsky would have a poly coated ebony board, and I believe the Cirrus has a rosewood board of some sort. Which of these can stand up to those rough roundwounds without needing work after a short time?

Unicameralism is the practice of having only one legislative or parliamentary chamber. Many countries with unicameral legislatures are often small and homogeneous unitary states and consider an upper house or second chamber unnecessary.
Unicameral legislatures exist when there is no widely perceived need for multicameralism. Many multicameral legislatures were created to give separate voices to different sectors of society. Multiple chambers allowed for guaranteed representation of different social classes (as in the Parliament of the United Kingdom or the French Estates-General), ethnic or regional interests, or subunits of a federation. Where these factors are unimportant, in unitary states with weak regional identity, unicameralism often prevails. Sometimes, as in Sweden or New Zealand, this comes about through the abolition of the other chambers, or their merger into the remaining chamber, while in others a second chamber has never existed.
Unicameral legislatures are also common in Communist states, including the People's Republic of China, Cuba, and former Communist states such as the People's Republic of Poland, Ukraine, Moldova and Serbia. The Socialist viewpoint regards upper houses as typically conservative and representing the interests of the upper classes.
The principal advantage of a unicameral system is more efficient lawmaking, as the legislative process is much simpler and there is no possibility of legislative deadlock. Proponents of unicameralism have also argued that it reduces costs, as even if the number of legislators is the same as it would be in a multicameral system, there are fewer institutions to maintain and support.
The main weakness of a unicameral system is the lack of restraint on the majority, particularly noticeable in parliamentary systems where the leaders of the parliamentary majority also dominate the executive. There is also the risk, depending on how seats are allocated in the legislature, that important sectors of society may not be adequately represented.
Approximately half of the world's sovereign states are presently unicameral, including both the most populous (the People's Republic of China) and the least populous (the Vatican City).
Many subnational entities have unicameral legislatures. These include Nebraska, Guam and the Virgin Islands in the United States, Hong Kong, the Australian states and territories of Queensland, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory, all of the provinces and territories in Canada, all of the German Bundesländer, all of the Italian Regioni and all of the Spanish Autonomous Communities.
In the United Kingdom, the devolved Scottish Parliament, National Assembly for Wales and Northern Ireland Assembly are also unicameral.
Almost all city legislatures are also unicameral in the sense that the city councils are not divided into two chambers. Until the turn of the 20th century, bicameral city councils were common in the United States.
In a non-binding referendum held on July 10, 2004, voters in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico approved changing its Legislative Assembly to a unicameral body by 456,267 votes in favor (83.7%) versus 88,720 against (16.3%). If both the territory's House of Representatives and Senate approve by a 2/3 vote the specific amendments to the Puerto Rico Constitution that are required for the change to a unicameral legislature, another referendum will be held in the territory to approve such amendments. If those constitutional changes are approved, Puerto Rico will switch to a unicameral legislature as early as 2015.
Within the individual United States, bicameralism was usually modeled upon that of the United States Federal Government, with the upper house, in analogy to the states, consisting of State Senators who represented geographic areas independent of their population, typically counties. Reynolds v. Sims ruled that all districts for both State Senate seats and State House seats had to be roughly proportional to each other, which ended the practice of having State Senators apportioned equally to every county.
Nebraska is currently the only state with a unicameral legislature. Nebraska's state legislature is also unique in the sense that it is the only state legislature that is entirely nonpartisan.
In 1999, Governor Jesse Ventura [1] said that the Minnesota Legislature should adopt a single unicameral chamber. Though debated, the idea was never adopted.
Local government legislatures of counties, cities, or other political subdivisions within states are usually unicameral and have limited lawmaking powers compared to their state and federal counterparts.
On June 9, 2009, the Maine House of Representatives voted to form a unicameral legislature [2]. If approved by the Senate, the measure will appear on the ballot in 2010. The transfer would take place in 2014.
On July 13, 2009, in response to legislative gridlock in New York State, former Congressman Rick Lazio, a prospective candidate for governor, has proposed that New York adopt the unicameral legislative model. [3]
In the Philippines, the process of amending or revising the current constitution and form of government is popularly known as Charter Change. A shift to a unicameral parliament is included in the proposals of the constitutional commission created by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. [4] Unlike in the United States, senators in the Philippine Senate are elected not per district and state but nationally; the Philippines is a unitary state. [5] The Philippine government's decision making process, relative to the United States, is more rigid, highly centralized, much slower and susceptible to political "gridlocks." As a result, the trend for unicameralism as well as other political system reforms are more contentious in the Philippines. [6]
A Unicameral system of government is one where there is only one legislative or parliamentary chambers.
It comes from the Latin "uni" (meaning one) and "camera" (meaning chamber).
In the United States, only the state of Nebraska uses a unicameral system. All the other states use a bicameral system instead.

See when I do these tracks ... I like to see y'all move. That's why
I do 'em. To make you move nod your head or somethin'. You know
It doesn't matter how you do it. You know see when I do these
Tracks I wanna see you move. I wanna see you nod yo' head get
On the floor or do somethin' you know what I'm talkin' 'bout ya
Heard me?
A push 'em up baby a push 'em up c'mon (4x)
Verse 1
Now I'm steppin' out the woodwork, you know it should work
Makin' people dance to the jams, but it could hurt
When the sound hit loud, y'know how it sound
When the vibes slide through your hide, it's hard to sit down
>From the club to your ride, inside or outside
I'm changin' up the game since the moment I arrived
I'm sellin' at arenas with funk, like Cold Medina
And girl, it's guaranteed for all you seqoritas
I'm knockin' mamasitas from east to west coast
I'm knockin' in your speakers a lot more than most
Have 'em meltin' like butter on your breakfast toast
And at the end of the night, they givin' up the ghost
New Orleans born, but now I'm in the ATL
You can tell that we sell just ahead on the 12
To the 9-9-9-dot-9-88
Platinum plus, baby, don't playa hate, push 'em up.
Chorus (4x)
Jam-jiggy-jam-jiggy-jam, c'mon!
Everybody get 'em up, push 'em up, c'mon!
Verse 2
I'm takin' over the world without even tryin'
I fly in first class, recline while sippin' wine
And baby, I ain't lyin' when I announce I'm retirin'
And women all over will stop and start cryin'
I'm down to make hits for years to come
And get you all alone with the flip of my tongue
Have you hung over with the ruch of the cum
And leave your body numb after givin' you some
If you're fine to me, then I'm fine to you too
If you hatin' on me, I'm still fine to you
But why you playa hatin' on shit I create?
You can't participate; if not, then motivate
That's why the hatin' niggas bring you down
You sell more than them, the bustas want to clown
Don't mean-mug me while I'm wishin' you luck
While you stuck on hatin' I'm still pushin' 'em up, c'mon ...
Verse 3
Freak Nasty's the one gettin' 99%
Hangin' out with all the fly girls and gents
Havin' freaky parties in my house or my pent
Love's in the air, you can tell by the scent
My Porsche and my 'Vette get pushed in AM
And in the PM I rolls the BM
So black, do you know where Hard Hood is at?
It's stacked on my wall in platinum plaques
In a club, big baller, young shot caller
And a lot of playa haters would love to see me fall
And flap, right of the face of the earth
I'm takin' over turf for all that it's worth
When I surf the nation, it's history in the makin'
I'm always real, I never come fakin'
The south is blowin' up like centinnial park
'Cause I be gettin' where you in, so don't leave a star, c'mon ...

The Catastrophic Connection by Luck & Ripps
Album Description
Back in February, Joey Ripps approached me about releasing one of his projects through blocSonic. One of the projects, a collaboration with 13aDLucK produced by Catastrophe, turned out to be quite a strong set. After hearing the drafts Ripps sent, blocSonic was officially down for a release! What you're about to listen to is a fantastic collection of raw, NYC style, boom-bap hip-hop. It's packed with smooth soul-drenched beats, classic B-Boy braggadocio and introspective rhymes. Luck & Ripps' vocal styles are both quite compatible, so their collaboration on this project feels natural and unforced. Catastrophe's production throughout serves as the perfect bed for their verses to rest. Once again, we feel that we, blocSonic, have dropped another solid contribution to the world of independent hip-hop. Check it out… and remember… share this with everyone you connect with. Thanks goes out to Luck, Ripps and Catastrophe for being part of the blocSonic fam. Thanks also to you for taking the time to download!

It's the big 75 for my Dad
Just wanted to wish my Dad a VERY VERY HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY!!!
Here he is with my mom on their wedding day. I'm the smallest one (not anymore) on the far right. This is the day we became a family. My dad adopted my sister and I (Joey's the one in blue) not too long after this and he's been my dad ever since. I really never had much contact with my biological father (aka sperm donor) so I was thrilled to finally have a "daddy." My (step) brother and I have always gotten along and although my (step) sister and I fought like cats and dogs the whole time we were growing up (we were too close in age and both Daddy's girls) I'm happy to report that now that we are adults ~ we really do love each other and get along really well. Thanks to my dad I've also inherited two step mothers and an amazing baby brother who is now 21! Thanks Dad, for bringing us all together. I love you!

Sseko Sandals
Have you seen these amazing sandals? The best thing about them (apart from how cute they are, and that you can change the straps easily) is that they support women in Uganda who make them to go to university. How cool is that? I'm excited for next summer, and look forward to adorning my tootsies with a pair of these.

When I was in Lorne last weekend, I found this incredible basket which turns into a BLANKET! I am still getting over it, to be honest. Picnic basket, craft organiser, baby things - the list of uses could be endless, really. I didn't end up buying it, but I have been thinking of it for a while.
'Akanbe' or あかんべ is actually a Japanese facial gesture, where you pull one eye down while you stick out your tongue, so this little bag is even cuter..

J Crew Swoon
Well if I could look like these lovely ladies this autumn, it would be pretty exciting. I'm not exactly sure how I'd make it all work (or how I would possibly afford 40 new pieces for my wardrobe!) but gee, it's nice to dream!

Kimono Fabric
For Easter, my Mum bought me these beautiful vintage kimono scraps from a shop she discovered in Leura. I am completely smitten with them (you can't see the gold very well, but they truly shimmer).
Very unsure what to do with them yet, but excited to play around and come up with ideas!

New Cushions II
Inspired by my last attempt, I finished off my last cushion re-coverings. Many thanks to my lovely friend A, who worked out how to attach zipper heads to continuous zippers - not as easy as it sounds!!The bunting fabric is from Ikea - and also happened to be on sale, so each pillow (two small ones for the spare bed, and one larger one for the lounge) was very reasonably priced.
These two long pillows are the ones of which I'm most proud. I've been in love with the Florence Broadhurst fabric with black and white horses for such a long time (recently re-inspired here), but at $143/metre, I knew that wasn't an option for me at the moment. But on the website, you can buy an A4 sample of the fabric for $7 each... So I bought the horse stampede sample and the green sample above, and am enjoying have some Florence Broadhurst in my life! (Is it just me, or is it even nicer when you know it was inexpensive?!)

Pillow Love #4
Aren't these pillows fantastic? I love the long, people shaped ones above. Actually, I love them all.
Thanks for all your lovely comments. It's taken me a bit to rejig and get back into life again - I am doing lots of part-time teaching, so in some ways, life feels much the same, but the adrenaline is starting to leave!
I'm off to Melbourne tomorrow for the weekend to catch up with some lovely friends - see you Monday!

There are a lot of interesting shops in town.
Here is a cute cat quilt done with embroidery. It is a crib sized quilt which are hard to find in good condition.
I love this string quilt. The drawers in the background are full of all kinds of antique quilt blocks. They are reasonably priced, and you can buy as few or as many as you want.
Lots of wooden spoons and kitchen gadgets, dishcloths, books, rag rugs and baskets.
Antique quilts and paintings by local artists.
There are layers and layers of quilts to see. Everything here is for sale.
When we want to have a long look at a quilt, Rebecca spreads it out on the bed in the shop.
Here's a beautiful red and white bow tie quilt. I love the basket quilt hanging on the wall.
This nine patch is striking.
I love the setting. I could only make a guess as to how old this quilt is...maybe 1930s?
Colorful rugs and flying geese quilt.
Cute dolls and stuffed animals.
This is only a portion of the old world Christmas ornaments. There are also Jim Shore figurines.

This was an older video I saw many years ago and came across again more recently. So I thought I'd share it with you here. It looks like some high school talent show or something like that. Forget the first act... just pay attention to the second guy (in the orange shirt, starting at about 35 seconds in). The video is inappropriately titled "Breakdancing," which it's not. I'll find another video for you soon that is likely the best breakdancer I've seen. Stay tuned.
Now for the geeky stuff. Here's another positive study on calcium, this time showing that it can reduce intestinal permeability when in the presence of phosphate.
Increased intestinal permeability is associated with several diseases. Previously, it's been shown that dietary calcium decreases colonic permeability in rats. This might be explained by a calcium-phosphate-induced increase in luminal buffering capacity, which protects against an acidic pH due to microbial fermentation.
Therefore, these researchers investigated whether dietary phosphate is a co-player in the effect of calcium on permeability.
What was found? The protective effect of dietary calcium on intestinal permeability is impaired if dietary phosphate is low. This is because calcium seems to drag phosphate into the colon, which increases the phosphate concentration in the colon, which is at least part of the mechanism behind the protective effect of calcium on intestinal permeability.
Although I think the most common salts of calcium (in supplements) are citrate and carbonate, I have seen some supplements containing calcium phosphate. Also note that our bones are a type of calcium phosphate, so this is a form of calcium that may be beneficial to more than just bones.
Source: The protective effect of supplemental calcium on colonic permeability depends on a calcium phosphate-induced increase in luminal buffering capacity

"Those who can't do, teach" is a widely quoted phrase from popular wisdom. It stems from the belief that professionals who would have otherwise been a failure in their respective fields, wind up being professors. It is said as a critique to teachers who have no field experience and teach from a purely theoretical standpoint. But would a scholar who actually has professional experience be the silver bullet?
In other words, is it really desirable, particularly in the legal field, to have as a teacher someone who is gaining recognition in the academic world while at the same time defending private interests in court and thus directly affecting (to a certain extent) the law making process?
The first question we have to ask ourselves in order to answer the interrogations above is how influential are scholarly works when it comes to law making?
If there is one thing the main legal families (namely Common Law and Civil Law) agree on, is the feeble position of juristic writings as a source of law. While this is true, one cannot deny the influential role of legal literature. In this sense, let us not forget that Article 38 of the International Court of Justice's statute proposes "the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists of the various nations, as subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law". In plain English, that means a judge X from the ICJ can grab from his office library, let's say, Malcolm Shaw's International Law and perfectly draw legal rules from there. Shaw is a practicing barrister. Now, this is a bad example because International Law conflicts and private parties' interests would rarely cross.
Let's try a better example. It could happen that a judge in the United States has a complicated first impression case to decide on Patent Law, an area that has become increasingly chaotic. He is more limited in his decision than our ICJ judge, but he can definitely consult a book or two for inspiration. So he decides to take a look at treatise written by Poltorak, who is an IP Law scholar and by the way not even a lawyer, but who happens to be the founder of a patent licensing and enforcement firm. Whether his ideas are self-interested or correct is irrelevant at this point. The fact is that legal scholars could potentially have great influence in the emergence of new legal interpretations, while at the same time having the chance to tilt the scale in favor of their clients' interest or their own. Seriously, every time I read an article by a lawyer stating that a Patent Troll is a term impossible to define, all I can think is "he obviously works for one". It would probably be safe to assume that if a patent law scholar were to have so-called patent trolls as clients, he would then be inclined to support a severer patent system with regards to infringements as opposed to a lawyer who defends small companies who are usually the victims of such trolling.
This situation could worsen in the case of small developing countries where corruption and network effects are even higher. The influence that could be exerted by a prominent lawyer who teaches at universities but maintains his clientele whom he defends at court is thus greater. He would seem almost irresistible in the eyes of a magistrate.
So even if the judge would act in good faith when deciding a case, could he find himself seduced by the ideas and prestige that surrounds said attorney? From my work experience as a civil litigation attorney in my country, I believe it is certainly possible.
At the end of the day, it is probably true that scholars with professional experience are better prepared to teach. But it is only by drawing attention to this potential issue that we can make sure that neither the students nor the judges are persuaded by an idea without knowing the other side of the story, or at least where the transmitter is coming from.

So, clearly I'm not one of those people who hopes someone else will remember to celebrate my birthday. At forty-six, I'm in that awesome stage of life where all permission has been granted, me to me. Come to think of it, I haven't waited around or pretended to be modest in my birthday joy for many a year. Remember six years ago when I threw myself a cougar party? wow. I'm still glowing from the reverberations of that event.
Having said that, Brian totally came through this year. In flying color.
He remembered "Doug, the antique guy in Rapid City". (Manitoba version).
So he suggested that we hook up the trailer (utility) and make the trek. See what we could see.
First spot Doug showed us? His work desk. I love it.
Fortunately, it came with heat. I'd forgotten how cold sheds are in the winter in Manitoba.
But if I was going to worry about the cold, I'd never get to enjoy Doug's school house. Packed to the brim with treasures, frozen feet and fingers notwithstanding.
And if that wasn't enough, we got to go around back.
To the quanset.
I would have taken more pictures..... But did I mention that my fingers were frozen?
Thank goodness he invited us into his basement next. A picker's haven.
I particularly enjoyed discovering Doug's wall of fame.
Turns out the man is more than a friendly face and an amazing hoarder of all things spectacular.
He's also a competitive square dancer!
After we discovered a small cache of vintage Christmas bulbs, Doug led us up the stairs.
Where I met Pumpkin. The Cat of Epic Proportion Awesomeness.
Our bond was instant and simultaneous.
Doug even let us into his spare bedroom, where my picker sister fell in love with a quilt on the wall.
That wasn't exactly for sale.
But when we were finally done admiring all the things, and hearing all the stories, Cheri had the quilt.
And I was asked to set down the cat. And back away.
I really enjoyed my birthday gift from Brian. That thoughtful trip to a place that I love.
I came away with a chippy chair, a matchbox holder, Christmas ornaments, and an ancient leather school satchel.
Brian bought a cast iron pan large enough to roast a pig in, a couple of wooden metronomes, and a corncob pipe. Because I guess he needed that.
Going to see Doug was amazing. I loved and appreciated it.
But hands down, easily, and in a nanosecond, the best part of the day was coming home.
To my kids who went out of their way to tidy up, hang streamers, and make me cards.
The cards were meaningful, thoughtful, kind, and honest.
Which are just a few of my favorite things.
Today is Friday, and there is still much to anticipate. I'm having a bit of a celebration tonight, loving on a lot of my friends.
And as far as treasure hunting goes,
my Brian, my kids, and my friends are the bestest pick of all.

MaMaw is gone now but that memory lives on. Every time I go home, I pass that tree and those memories re-emerge.
Any time I pass the pears in the grocery store I think of my MaMaw and her pear trees and how much we enjoyed those fresh pears. Well, pears are back in season and this year I decided to look up some pear recipes and make some that I know my MaMaw would definitely approve of. One of the first recipes I came across was cinnamon pear jam. Yum, right? It screams comfort, cozy, and Fall. And definitely would be MaMaw approved.
This jam is incredibly easy to make and requires very few ingredients and no special utensils. Simply combine the pears with some sugar and place on the stove and let it simmer until the fruit begins to break down. Once it's softened then you mash it up, add some cinnamon and lemon juice and allow it to simmer until thickened. While it does take a little time to make this jam, it's definitely worth it. Plus with all that simmering and cinnamon you're house well smell amazing. The warm flavors of fall will spread themselves throughout your kitchen, living room and the rest of your home. I don't know about you, but there's nothing better than the smell of fall. With this jam, you not only get the smell of fall but the flavors of fall too.
Pears are in season, so be sure to swing by the produce section the next time you go to the store or Farmer's Market and scoop some up. Savor the taste and flavors of the fruits and veggies that are in season. Here's to fall!
Cinnamon Pear Jam
8 Cups cored and chopped Bartlett (or any smooth skin) pears, about 6-7 pears
3 1/4 Cups sugar
3/4 Tbsp ground cinnamon
Juice of 1 lemon
Place pears and sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir to combine. Place pan over medium heat until tender, and easily mashed with the back of a wooden spoon. Once the pears are softened use either a potato masher or immersion blender to break the fruit down to a mostly smooth consistency.
Add cinnamon and lemon juice and stir to incorporate. Return the pan to heat and continue cooking until the jam has thickened, stirring occasionally.
While the jam is cooking, place the canning lids in a small saucepan and place over medium-low heat. This will ensure a secure seal. Once the jam has thickened, fill jars almost to the top, wipe the rims and top with the lids and rims.
Place the filled and sealed jars in a large pot of water, ensuring all of the jars are submerged in water. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, set the timer for 10 minutes. When finished boiling, carefully remove jars from the pot and transfer to a towel-lined area on your countertop and allow to cool, undisturbed for at least 2 hours. During this time the lids should form a secure seal. Check all the lids to ensure the jars have sealed, if not then return to water and boil again.

text: Michael Redhawk and Marlys Mallet share more than their lives together as a married couple. They share a studio in Sedona, Ariz., where Redhawk works on his side of the studio and Mallet works on hers. Their current project, however, requires them to do something that's often necessary in marriage -- meet each other halfway. In this case, Redhawk, a realist, and Mallet, an abstract expressionist, are sharing the same canvas in a collaboration that marries their two different styles. Approximately 20 of their joint paintings will be featured at the Courtyard Gallery in New Buffalo as part of the 13th annual Harbor Country Art Attack, which runs through Sunday at galleries throughout Southwestern Michigan. Redhawk, whose jewelry also will be on display, specializes in painting waterways as well as the back country of the Southwest. Mallet's work also reflects the natural world she loves exploring. Redhawk says when people look at any work of art, they can instantly decide whether they like it or not, but they often can't explain why they don't like the work. Often it's because the painting is out of balance. Because this project fused abstract expressionism with realism, it was especially important that he choose colors that would maintain the balance -- or flow -- between his realistic renderings and Mallet's abstractions, Redhawk says. "I had to be conscious about what (my part) of the painting would look like when she got it," Redhawk says. "I had to bring enough colors out so that she could extend (the concept) into the abstract area." That the painting is balanced both in terms of color and composition proves that the marriage of the abstract and the real works, Redhawk says. In one picture, Redhawk painted a tree on the shore of a body of water. The orange sky gives the painting the feeling of a brilliant sunset cast over the water. A gold rectangular border separates Redhawk's realism from Mallet's contribution. Mallet's painting on the other side of that border, however, flows into Redhawk's painting. The sky and water have the same orange hue. A tree on the other side of the border looks as if it's shed its leaves for winter. The project was challenging, Redhawk says, but the couple took it on because they constantly look for different ways to express their creativity. "And to blend these two styles together on one canvas is quite an accomplishment," Redhawk says. He does not know of any other paintings where two artists combined realism and abstract expressionism on one canvas, Redhawk says, but he and Mallet have worked together in the past on a similar project. "We had a show where we painted the same subject," Mallet says of a project in which they painted separate interpretations of nature along the Colorado River. "We wanted people to know there is no right or wrong way to do a painting." Staff writer Howard Dukes: firstname.lastname@example.com (574) 235-6369

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thank you!

What you said was very reasonable. However, what about this? what if you were to write a killer title? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean mixiでスケジュール管理: pocketbook is a little plain. You could look at Yahoo's home page and note how they write news titles to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.

The pricing for a hosting environment can be massively different for different solutions and also the level of the company. In general shared hosting will be inappropriate for users who require extensive software development outside what the hosting provider supports. Webmaster, Professional and Enterprise series plans offer increasingly powerful CPU options. E-commerce sites should always be hosted by a dedicated server as the financial transactions taking place need the very best security and customer details must be kept as secure as possible. Because of the scalable feature the required amount of space on these web hosting servers can be increased in accordance with the requirements of the users. Typically, shared hosting plans start at $5 - $20 per month. The load on 1 server is usually well balanced by installing a different server. However, the case is bit different with shared hosting account. This is particularly important for websites with many visitors as slow to load sites are very unpopular and discourage visitors from returning. If the resources are throttled, only the targeted website goes down, without affecting the others.

Silicone gel breast implants have an exterior shell that is made of a solid silicone material like that of the saline filled implant. Placement of silicone implants requires a longer scar, usually underneath the breast, and they are slightly more expensive than saline implants. A breast lift or mastopexy along with an implant procedure can improve sagginess.

Office of the Chief Minister
Chair of the Corporate Council
Lowell City, Fenris
Capital of the deWulf Corporate Democracy
The office shined before SPM Rollen's eyes. Polished black hardwood, inlaid with silver and sealed by a thin gloss of hard-wearing crystal. To his left and right were twin rows of plinths, each capped with a single artefact or sculpture. Rollen guessed that there was enough wealth in this single hallway to buy a Baltic-class Battleship outright. Certainly at least a Director-class Heavy Cruiser. He mused as he waited more "Not even dust in the air".
Waiting, of course, was just one more way to illustrate whose time was more important, and Rollen rolled his feet forward onto the pads of his feet. If he was some vice president or functionary it would probably have worked. But Rollen was no minor paper pusher, and he grinned. He might be in hazardous country, but he was on the offensive here. And initiative counted just as much as the terrain.
"The Minister will see you now."
Rollen nodded once in acknowledgement to the attendant. A flunky, but a polite one. Good staff. The door was opened for him, the charcoal grey door swinging open for him to use. Brisk steps carried him forward and out of the hallway into an office that made the hallway look a peasant hovel. Surrounded on three sides by floor to ceiling glass panels, it had a commanding view of Lowell, towering above the other skyscrapers. Forward the view looked out over the expanse of the northern sea, the city spread out to either side. Rollen allowed himself a small grin as he walked towards the desk front and centre; he really could see his home from here.
Chief Minister Rheinbach watched Rollen as he entered with the steady stride of a relaxed predator. A familiar look, and one that more than a few entrants had. But nobody ever had left the same way.
"SO what brings you here, Rollen. Usually you have your errand boy Donnal delivering the paperwork."
Rollen couldn't let the bait slide by. "He's my adjunct, not my errand boy. If you want to compare him to unquestioning servitude, you can have your doorman stand next to him sometime."
"Please. He is my butler, not a glorified doorstop. I trust him to work with discretion." Rheinbach paused a moment. "I suppose if you wanted to properly hammer a message home, you would have one of your pet blobs running the mail."
THAT hit a little closer, and Rollen's teeth grated as he bit back a more forceful reply. Okay he thought, You want to play hardball, fine.
"Very well then." Rolln slipped his left had across to his right, slipping into the thin cloth case and extracting a small sheaf of printed paper. He handed it over, the cover sheet having the deWulf Corporate Navy Logo and a single phrase: "Report on the application of Article 17 of the Articles of Incorporation"
Rheinbach looked at the report. His brow furrowed as he read past the preamble and into the meat of the document. It was only five pages, once you got past the cover. Rollen could see Rheinbach's eyes widening steadily, pupils focusing tighter as he strained to understand the document placed before him.
"Rollen... you can't be serious here. This... this violates half the laws the Corporate Democracy has! What's this... temporary nationalization of industry? Military control of strategic resources?"
Rollen stood impassively as the litany of charges was read, face looking like it was carved from basalt.
"And you don't stop there! Conscription. An unlimited credit draft for the Navy. No-bid contracts. Liquidation of government financial holdings. You're even making mention here of seizing corporate assets that aren't voluntarily- and those are YOUR words for it, 'voluntarily surrendered for the duration of the current crisis.` Breaker, Rollen, what are you trying to do? Decapitate our entire government in one go?"
"If that's what it takes to save it, yes."
"So you're saying in order to save the State, you may as well destroy it?"
"I suppose you want to go out there and tell the people that you don't want to win the war?"
Rheinbach clenched his hands on the sheaf of paper he had been handed. Damn him, he thought. And Damn his navy.
"You'll pay for this in the end, Rollen. There's no way around that, and this war won't last forever. Sooner or later..." This was no empty threat, Rollen knew. The fire would eventually have to be fed.
"If we lose, then it dosen't matter. If we win, then I'll deal with it when it comes to that."
"You mean when we win, Rollen. When."
"I meant what I said, Rheinbach. I meant what I said."

What Am I Wearing?
Kelly Kepowski Shirt-Target
Boyfriend Shorts-GAP
Black Boots-Doc Martens
Headwrap-Mom's Closet
Round Shades-Ebay
Remember the days when it was all about neon, crop tops and big hair? Yeah well neither do I but I have been able to slightly get a little of that 80's glory from the amazing show Saved by the Bell. Although I wasn't born in the decade to watch Saved by the Bell I was able to catch enough reruns to figure that the characters and their fashions were amazing!
I happened to find this shirt in the Boy's section of Target. The boy's section probably has the best novelty tees and I love getting the pants from there because they're easy to turn into boyfriend jeans and the pockets are SUPER DEEP. I've almost worn this shirt out as you can probably see from the crazy fading, but that's okay I will wear it until it's worn out. I decided to pair it with my blazer that was for a school event. I never like to let clothes go to waste so I decided I'd try to incorporate it in my outfits. So far it's made for a very cute piece. Accessory wise I got these black shades from eBay for a whooping $2. Amazing right? I would definitely recommend using ebay for buying inexpensive clothes or accessories. I'm sure you noticed I'm rocking yet another scarf. I know it's scandalous, 'same look different outfit'. I can't lie., I couldn't resist the chicness of the turban wrap. It just makes you look very cool and collected. That's all I have for today!
Tips From This Post
-Saved by the Bell is a great source for 80's fashion inspiration.
-Don't be afraid to check out the Boy's section of a store especially if you want a looser fit or boyfriend fit jean it if you're just into deep pockets like me. Also they have amazing tees.
-Don't let your clothes become a 'One Time Wear' piece. Try to incorporate pieces that you bought for another purpose into other outfits.
-Ebay is a great source of inexpensive fashion. Don't be afraid to scour the website for some cute finds.
-Don't be afraid to re-wear a piece you really like. No on is judging!

Ukraine held memorial services on Tuesday to mark the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which permanently poisoned swathes of eastern Europe and highlighted the shortcomings of the secretive Soviet system.
In the early hours of April 26, 1986, a botched test at the nuclear plant in then-Soviet Ukraine triggered a meltdown that spewed deadly clouds of atomic material into the atmosphere, forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes.
Relatives of those who died as a result of the world's worst nuclear accident attended a candle-lit vigil in a Kiev church, built in their memory.
"We did not think that this accident would change all our lives, dividing them into 'before the war' and 'after the war' as we called it. It was silent nuclear war for us," said Lyudmila Kamkina, a former worker at the plant.
Others gathered for a service in Slavutych, a town 50 km (30 miles) from Chernobyl that was established to house many of those who had to leave their homes for ever.
More than half a million civilian and military personnel were drafted in from across the former Soviet Union as so-called liquidators to clean-up and contain the nuclear fallout, according to the World Health Organization.
Thirty-one plant workers and firemen died in the immediate aftermath of the accident, most from acute radiation sickness.
Over the past three decades, thousands more have succumbed to radiation-related illnesses such as cancer, although the total death toll and long-term health effects remain a subject of intense debate.
Nikolay Chernyavskiy, 65, who worked at Chernobyl and later volunteered as a liquidator, recalls climbing to the roof of his apartment block in the nearby town of Prypyat to get a look at the plant after the accident.
"My son said 'Papa, Papa, I want to look too'. He's got to wear glasses now and I feel like it's my fault for letting him look," Chernyavskiy said.
The anniversary has garnered extra attention due to the imminent completion of a giant 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion) steel-clad arch that will enclose the stricken reactor site and prevent further leaks for the next 100 years.
The project was funded with donations from more than 40 governments. Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said lessons learned from Chernobyl should be heeded all over the world.
Even with the new structure, the surrounding exclusion zone – 2,600 square km (1,000 square miles) of forest and marshland on the border of Ukraine and Belarus – will remain uninhabitable and closed to unsanctioned visitors.
The disaster and the government's reaction highlighted the flaws of the Soviet system with its unaccountable bureaucrats and entrenched culture of secrecy. For example, the evacuation order only came 36 hours after the accident.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has said he considers Chernobyl one of the main nails in the coffin of the Soviet Union, which eventually collapsed in 1991.
Postcards from Pripyat, Chernobyl from Danny Cooke on Vimeo.
Named after the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 by the time it was evacuated, on the afternoon of April 27, 1986, the day after the Chernobyl disaster.
A natural concern is whether it is safe to visit Pripyat and the surroundings. The Zone of Alienation is considered relatively safe to visit, and several Ukrainian companies offer guided tours around the area. Nowadays, radiation levels have dropped considerably, compared to the fatal levels of April 1986, due to the decay of the short-lived isotopes released during the accident. In most places within the city, the level of radiation does not exceed an equivalent dose of 1 μSv (one microsievert*) per hour.
*One sievert carries with it a 5.5% chance of eventually developing cancer. In comparison, one set of dental x-rays is 5-10 μSv.

BUFFALO - The temporary Buffalo Creek Casino has expanded while the permanent casino is under construction. Since opening last July the casino has averaged 30,000 visitors per month, so 2,500 square feet have been added to accommodate 109 new slot machines.
Phil Pantano, a Seneca Gaming spokesman, said "It wasn't uncommon for patrons to be waiting in line, standing in line for a machine to open."
The permanent casino will cost $333-million and include a hotel. It will open in the spring of 2010. "We have crews on site driving piles into the ground and excavating the site to get ready for the foundation for the project," said Pantano.
"That will be the largest, single private investment in the history of the city of Buffalo," said Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.

Mr. Impossible arrives in Boston
This is the kind of headline that should be in the Globe or Herald, but they're too busy worrying about reverends and the election.
Phillipe Starck's Mr. Impossible chair, the star of last year's ICFF, is now available for purchase at Kartell.
The $490 chair is dubbed Mr. Impossible because this construction process has never been done before. It consists of two layers of polycarbonate - a clear bottom and a translucent, colored top. The two layers were to be bonded together by a laser, but laser can't do it's job if it can't "see" what it's hitting (because the two layers are see-through). Kartell developed an element that is invisible to the eye, but not to the laser, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Mr. Impossible is available in nine different colors and sells for $490. The two layers only touch at the edges of the chair, so you sit on negative space. The clear legs add to a sense of floating.
I sat on Mr. Impossible at ICFF 2007 have can attest to it being not just super cool looking, but stable and very comfortable as well. It's ultra modern design will fit well in any manner of forward-thinking home.
