Chaaaarge!, originally uploaded by Ben909.
This is the same boar as pictured in my previous upload. I spent quite some time with him, and on occasion I pushed my luck a bit too much. This picture was taken just before a charge – not quite what you want when you're squatted down with a camera stuck to your face! Boar do not charge unprovoked – I really was a little too close. The charge was only a warning, or a 'dummy' charge, stopping short a couple of metres or so. Didn't stop me from taking cover behind the nearest tree trunk though! This is definitely how not to go about watching wild boar 🙂 We parted company on much better terms – I recorded some video of him putting himself back to bed later on, and will get that uploaded soon.

Robin van Helsum, the 20-year-old Dutch man who went missing from the city of Hengelo in September and claimed to be a youth who had lived wild in the woods for five years, had personal problems and wanted to start a new life, a friend told Dutch broadcaster NOS.
The man confessed to the police that he had made up the story and lied about his true identity. He now faces charges of fraud over his care which cost £5,000 a month.
"He has admitted he is a fraud," Thomas Neuendorf for Berlin police told the Telegraph. "We went to him with new information and he said: 'OK, you got me - I am Robin and I made the whole story up'."
His stepmother identified him from photographs released by German police.
"We have made contact with his family and friends," a police spokeswoman told Die Welt newspaper. "A photo where you could see him with a chain round his neck showing his name provided the proof. We are very glad that he has been found."
"We are 100 percent certain."
A schoolfriend said he "had personal problems and that was his way of beginning a new life".
Dubbed "Forest Boy", he turned himself in to the authorities in Berlin in September claiming he had been living for the last five years in the woods with his father.
He told authorities he was called "Ray" and that he was born in 1994. He claimed that his mother, Doreen, died in a car accident when he was 12 and after which his father decided to live as a hermit in the forest.
After his father died in August, 2011, Forest Boy reportedly walked for five days before ending up in Berlin. He claimed to have buried the father in the forest.
German police said the story was a hoax and van Helsum never lived in the forest. The authorities had been trying to establish his identity through Interpol and a guardian was appointed.

Genesis 2:4-17 New King James Version (NKJV)
4 This is the [a]history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Life in God's Garden
8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel;[b] it is the one which goes toward the east of [c]Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Then the Lord God took [d]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [e]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[f] shall surely die."

We just celebrated a year with our backyard chickens last month, and I get a lot of questions and comments from friends, so I thought I'd address some of the questions I'm asked frequently and catch you up on what's been happening with the ladies of Beak House. (If you haven't read about how it all started, you can catch up HERE.)
So, we started with eighteen chickens: four one-year-old pullets, eight three-year-old pullets, and six chicks. Of the six chicks, we still have two. Henny Weasley was eaten by the neighbors' dog when she was still tiny. Hermione Freeranger, Hester Preen, and Katniss Everpreen all turned out to be boys. Hermione and Katniss became known as Russell Westbeak and Serge Ibawka once we knew they were roosters. We traded them for chickens who were eventually attacked by the neighbors' dogs and incidentally never had Beak House names. Hester Preen became known as Tranny for his/her short life because frankly, he was a rooster who thought he was a chicken. He died tragically and of undetermined causes after being nervoustwitchy his whole life.
Scout Finch and Jane Layre survived into adulthood and assimilated quickly into coop life with the big girls. Of the 12 original big girls, we've lost Anais Hen, Feathery O'Connor, and most recently, Emily Chickensen. All of their deaths were unexpected and shocking, but no fowl play was suspected (that joke is never going to get old in the world of chicken mortality).
One of the things people ask is why we decided to have backyard chickens, which is a great question I don't mind answering every single time. After watching several documentaries and reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals, I found myself searching for ways to improve our family's diet. My focus shifted to eating locally and more ethically. As a family, we decided to limit our meat intake drastically (I was fully vegetarian for about eighteen months) because 1) I couldn't unlearn what I'd learned in my research and continue with business as usual, and 2) one simple fact is that we (like most Americans) were just eating too much meat.
Fresh, organic produce is not hard to find (whether it comes from a store, your garden, a CSA, your local farm stand, or a local farmer), and when you are buying less meat, you have a lot more room for veggies and fruits in your budget. I'd had a somewhat secret desire to own chickens for sometime, and as I learned about the egg industry, it became abundantly clear that having a few chickens would provide us an excellent source of protein (and other vitamins and minerals), and I could feel confident in feeding the eggs to my family because I knew exactly what was happening during the process of getting the eggs to our table. (You can check out this short video about some of the verbage used in the egg industry to mask what is happening in grocery store eggs.)
The second thing people ask me most is something along the lines of "What do you DO with all those eggs?" Well, first of all, every time we have family breakfast which usually happens once a week, we eat a dozen eggs between the four of us (I only eat two, but I have three growing boys to feed). We eat a dozen or so more throughout the week for breakfast and snacks, and I obviously bake with them. I sell a dozen here and there, basically enough to cover the cost of the feed. Also, if you are getting married, having a baby, starting a new job, buying a new house, or doing anything else worthy of a gift, you'll probably receive eggs from me. Sometimes I give people eggs because it's Thursday. It always seems to work out, too, that we start to feel like the eggs are taking over, and then someone comes to our house for a visit, and we go through our stash with a quickness.
The third question I get usually involves whether or not having chickens is hard work, and the answer is definitely no. I mean, someone else built the coop for me, and my husband and I share the poop scooping, and that's really all there is to it. Yes, they poop a lot, but it's great fertilizer, and cleaning the coop takes all of an hour if I do it once a week. That means I'm spending time outside--with my girls--and call me a crazy chicken lady if you want (and my children do), but I actually enjoy hanging out with them. Sometimes when the sun is out, I take my lawn chair to the center of their run, and I read while they cluck around my feet and munch on stale pizza crust. I like to think they love me in the same way sorority girls love their house mom.
I put together a little list of the benefits of having chickens, aside from the things I've already discussed:
- When your four-year-old beeeeeegs you to buy a giant Costco container of peanut butter pretzels and then insists on sucking out all the peanut butter and leaving the pretzel, the chickens gladly accept a new treat.
- When one of your favorite chickens goes missing for four days and is presumed dead but returns half-starved, nearly featherless but full of spit and spirit, you learn the true meaning of a
Christmaschicken miracle.
- Chickens open up a new line of communication with your children when your kids begin to ask questions like "Mom, where do you poop out your eggs?" and "Do chickens have nipples on their breasts?"
- You can write 1,000-word blog posts about FREAKING BACKYARD CHICKENS, and people actually read it.
As always, I extend an invitation to be my best friend to anyone who can bring me empty egg cartons, and now I will leave you with the wise words of chicken extraordinaire, Maya Angelay: "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, buy chickens."
Happy bawking!

drop me an email.
It is a nice uniform, somewhat reminiscent of the later war French except that the lower ranks wore the distinctive Romanian 'capela' field cap.
I did some Photoshopping and drafted what the uniform would look like in Molatero colours...
This should be a very easy conversion job as the AiP Russian's uniform is almost exactly like this except for the hats! Even the infantry rifle is the same (the Russian Mosin-Nagant).
Now, where's my Milliput modelling putty?

Those screens have different sizes and resolutions, the secondary one being a good old 3/4 screen (I really miss them, especially for browsing internet, where the content is more vertical than horizontal, but it's not the point). I am not exactly facing the main screen, there is a small offset to allow me to quickly switch my attention from one to the other. I have placed the tabs and the panel on a vertical setting, currently the panel is on the left side and the tabs on the right, and this is nice when vivaldi is on my main screen, because then the tabs are on the side I look the least (right side of main screen is the farest), and it's the larger bar of the browser. But when I switch the browser to the secondary screen, that bar comes almost directly to my point of attention, pushing more useful informations more far from my attention. Let my try to show what I mean: Vivaldi on main screen: [code] +----------+ | | +---------------+ | | |**************| | | | **| | | | **| | | | **| | | | ***| | | |****| +----------+ +---------------+ [/code] Vivaldi on secondary screen: [code] +----------+ || +---------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | | +----------+ +---------------+ [/code] The asterisks () represent the vivaldi's interface, the larger (at right) side being the tabs, the top one is the menu (that I have no idea how to remove, the best I could do was to reduce it to an icon, but then it still takes the whole line. If it could be merged with URI bar, would be very nice), the bottom one the URI bar and the left one the panel (which can be hide easily). I just had the idea that, if vivaldi could «mirror» it's bar's positions depending on the screen it is on, that would greatly improve that kind of setups (the secondary screen being on the right or on the left side being meaningless, as long as the bars can move depending on the screen the window is on). About the technical stuff, I have no idea about how to do that on windows, mac or wayland, but for systems using X11, I think it can be managed with xrandr. If not, there is also a solution to have some way to send a command to vivaldi from the wm before changing it's place (it would be the 1st time I could see a use to dbus, but it's not the good day to troll about it).

The Linden blog announces a change in policy which means that adult content has to be flagged up and separated from the ordinary sims. You can read the announcement on the blog here.
I just think they have got this sooo wrong. Trying to forcibly move all the XXX sex clubs and shops out to an X rated area, seems to be the wrong way round to me. If people do not want to see X rated content, and want their whole experience to be PG, then why not make a PG rated area and allow people with current land in mixed areas opt to live in the PG land mass?
There's an awful lot of adult content in SL which isn't XXX. People have sex beds, photographs of their avatars naked, attachments and equipment that would fail the PG tests. Do they all have to separate themselves too?
I don't want my Second Life sanitised so that my aunt or daughter could go there without embarrassment. I like the rounded life my avatar leads, and I like being abe to leave all my adult responsibilities and roles at the door when I go into SL. I like being able to behave inappropriately or to talk inappropriately without having to worry if I am being watched by a minor or an elderly person who would be easily offended.
I'd say more, but I must get to bed.
Night night.

Like any other product, effective web promotion depends on two things: a well-groomed product and advanced promotion techniques. Your website may not get the attention of thousands of people who type the relevant keyword in a search engine, if certain things are not religiously followed. If you don't want to lose your potential customers to your competitors, a great amount of planning followed by superior promotion method is a necessity. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one such process that cannot be overlooked if you want to make your website visible to prospective customers.
SEO forms an important part of the overall marketing campaign aiming to get the attention of targeted customers. SEO is the procedure designed specifically to enhance the visibility of a website. High search rankings for the appropriate keywords are essential to expand search engine traffic. In order to make a web SEO-friendly, the webpage should have regular timely content reasonably enriched with the relevant keywords; good tagging; good socializing efforts by posting on other people's blogs and on forums; reporting your blog posts on Twitter feed and Facebook wall etc; and last but not the least, creativity.
Lately, a new era in SEO campaign has been heralded, which is none other than the 'mobile SEO' campaign. This method uses mobile phone to broaden the SEO movement.
Mobile SEO Campaign – Mobile Phone as A New Marketing Tool
Mobile search engine marketing is the new buzz word in the arena of web promotion. The small device that everyone carries can be treated as a medium with immense potential to enhance the realm of SEO campaign.
Everyone is aware of the indispensability of mobile phones. These tiny devices are not only used to simply make calls, but they can smartly arrange our lives by enabling us do lot of daily personal and professional responsibilities.
The primary objective of regular SEO and mobile SEO are not different. Both of them strive to ensure that potential customers are able to view their website, through the wireless device in the latter case. If a website has to properly work on a wireless device, it should be designed by following the stringent website accessibility guidelines laid down by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Many major companies are planning to implement the launch of products and services through mobile phones. This option is being considered hoping to get wider coverage by reaching wider audience more effectively.
Companies have realized that mobile phones have tremendous potential to be used as a marketing tool. The mobile phone search engine landscape has undergone dramatic changes thanks to the introduction of the iPhone and the Nokia s60, which made more web accessible to the mobile phone market. With an impending future which looks bright with the arriving of more internet ready mobile phones, the mobile SEO marketing is expected to get a huge boost.
SEO is not a simple task. It does not involve any quick formula to success. Different SEO campaigns may produce different SEO results. A successful SEO campaign should be preceded by an intense planning system. The reality is that success comes to those who stay ahead in terms of marketing and every other aspects of quality. Mobile SEO campaign, which is still in the budding stage, can take a big leap forward, if all the companies are ready to accept a pattern shift in their SEO strategy.

May 6, 2011 – Results from an analysis of the ALTITUDE Clinical Science program demonstrated that defibrillator therapy saves lives from lethal arrhythmias without an increase in mortality due to defibrillator shock. Instead, the authors found that increased mortality risk associated with these shocks is not attributed to the defibrillator shock itself, but rather to the underlying medical condition leading to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
ALTITUDE analyzes outcomes data from patients monitored by the Latitude Patient Management system. Brian Powell, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, presented results during a late-breaking trial session at the Heart Rhythm Society Scientific Sessions in San Francisco.
"The ALTITUDE Clinical Science program continues to provide groundbreaking data on survival after device implantation and has greatly advanced our understanding of the natural history of arrhythmias and how device programming influences patient outcomes," said Leslie Saxon, M.D., chief of cardiovascular medicine at University of Southern California and chairperson of the ALTITUDE physician panel. "What these data tell us is that patients who have atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias and receive shocks should be monitored and treated aggressively. While shocks should only be delivered when necessary, it is encouraging to know that shock therapy from these devices does not increase mortality."
The ALTITUDE program enhances physician understanding of device therapy, outcomes and disease progression in a real-world setting for device patients followed by the Latitude Patient Management system. The system lets physicians conduct remote follow-up of implantable cardiac device patients to monitor specific device information and heart health status. The system also detects clinical events between scheduled in-clinic visits and sends relevant data directly to physicians. Since its introduction in 2006, Boston Scientific has enrolled more than 190,000 patients.
Boston Scientific's latest implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) feature AcuShock, an advanced technology that can distinguish between a potentially lethal heart arrhythmia and a non-lethal arrhythmia within seconds. This can help to minimize inappropriate and unnecessary shocks.
"Our devices deliver painless pacing therapy far more than shocks to treat potentially lethal arrhythmias, while demonstrating extremely low rates of inappropriate shocks," said Kenneth Stein, M.D., chief medical officer, cardiac rhythm management for Boston Scientific. "Recent data from a large number of patients from our ALTITUDE program show that nearly 98 percent were free of an inappropriate first shock within the first year of therapy when physicians chose to use AcuShock features in our Cognis and Teligen devices."

"This GOP freshman class president has turned into the class clown and is facing the wrath from voters back home," states the Politico story.
The political Web site is calling the race an even run, surprising in a state as red as Idaho.

A lovely rosy red plant in the breakfast table is waiting to be used in a painting...watercolor, or acrylic?
The kitchen cabinet project is finally completed! Yeah! I love the new color, Cotton Grey, from Behr.
At Laura's I saw that she had moved all the lids into a separate drawer nearby! No more jumble of plastic and glass pieces! So now I have moved into a new improved era! The lazy Susan shelves just hold the containers ...
The lids are in the drawer next door! So much easier!
I love the new hardware! I got it from D Lawless Hardware in Indiana...(online, they have great customer service!)
You may notice a small quilt on the counter top....that is one of my dish drainer quilts. So useful!
I have made some progress on the sweater which I love knitting now!
And the Haiku Charm quilt top is finished. It uses some of my indigo fabrics in a simple pattern from a recent "Scrappy Quilts" magazine. I am very happy with this!
Now down to work on my quilt space, I need to give away a lot! I can see I am over-loaded!

The red banana tree is worth growing for the leaves alone. From dark burgundy to green, yellow and orange, the foliage makes a statement in any garden. But the fruit of the red banana tree holds its own. The skin can be yellow to dark burgundy and the flesh creamy white to pink and sweet. Stalks form in late summer and ripen by spring. Depending upon the variety the red banana can grow from 8 to 25 feet tall and is hardy in zone 8 to 11.
Video of the Day
Red bananas need full sun for best fruit production but will tolerate partial shade, especially from the hot afternoon sun in warmer climates. Banana leaves are susceptible to tearing, so protect them from the wind.
Red banana trees need well-drained, but moist, slightly acidic soil. Before you plant your banana, loosen the soil to 24 inches deep and wide and replace it with 50 percent rich organic soil and 50 percent course sand to assure good drainage.
Banana trees grow very quickly and need frequent applications of fertilizer. Once a month during the growing season, feed your red banana tree a 8:10:8 fertilizer, making sure not to get any fertilizer on the trunk of your red banana. A mature banana tree will need two pounds of fertilizer every month. Younger plants will need a third of that. Plants growing in containers also need applications of fertilizer once a month but half the amount of plants growing in the ground.
Water your red banana tree frequently, keeping the soil moist, but don't leave it in standing water. Spread a thick layer of mulch around the banana to help the soil conserve water and protect the shallow root system.
Bananas are not frost tolerant. If your red banana is a dwarf variety, bring it inside the house before the first expected frost and place it near a south facing window. Red bananas growing in the garden should be cut to the ground and covered with 6 to 8 inches of mulch.
The red banana isn't actually a tree but an herbaceous perennial and doesn't need traditional pruning as the leaves grow on a central stem. However, the plant will produce new growth appearing next to the main stem. These should be cut at the ground level until the plant is 8 months old. Once the plant is mature, let one or two new stems remain. Once your red banana fruits, the original stem will die and these new shoots will be your next banana tree. .
Bananas have very few pests. Watch for slugs and snails which will nest in the moist soil but won't significantly harm your red banana. In some regions, gophers will disturb the shallow root system and the tree will fall. Nematodes, small worm-like insects, may feed on your red banana tree and could kill it but don't often attack healthy plants.

Experts warn teens about sexting dangers
Health experts are warning parents about the dangers of sexting.
St. Barnabas Hospital officials say more kids in middle school are sexting and posting provocative photos on social media websites like Facebook and Instagram.
Kevin Green, a clinician at St. Barnabas, says that children as young as 12 years old are participating in the sexting trend.
"The really serious social consequences that come with sexting are law enforcement and school suspensions," he says. "There are a lot of things that teens and kids should be aware of once they click the send button."
Health experts want to let parents know that they should continue to monitor their children's online presence and check their phones often.
They are advising parents to set certain rules with children about posting photos to social media before any issues can come up.

It's election day, and I'm feeling a mixture of disgust, resignation and hopelessness. This past year, I've been producing a local TV show called Career Changers and interviewed a lot of people who have had to create business opportunities for themselves, or adapt and learn new skills because of the economic downturn. There are positive signs that the worst of the crisis has passed. Yet most of the anger out there is directed at the people who have been desperately trying to FIX the crisis — that was caused by the prior administration!
This is what it has come down to: we want instant solutions for problems that we allowed to build up over years of wasteful spending and generous tax breaks for the most affluent segment of our population. When respected leaders and economists warned the public that Republican tax cuts for the wealthy would increase the deficit, where was the outrage? When anti-war protesters warned that invading Iraq would cost lives and billions of dollars, where was the Tea Party anger?
Despite the trillion-dollar war President Obama inherited, despite the fact that Bush turned a surplus into a record-breaking deficit, despite the reality that the stock market had nose-dived below the Dow 8,000 mark (it's now over 11,000), despite all the negatives… we had a president who stayed calm, managed to stabilize the financial markets, improved our foreign relations simply by not being Bush or saying blatantly stupid things, passed health care reform that will benefit millions of people over time, and for that he's being blamed for the failure to rectify eight years of mismanagement faster! Geez.
I was watching that new AMC series last night, The Walking Dead, which is your basic zombie story, and it occurred to me the real nightmare is the Voting Brain Dead in this country who are electing the same party that got us into this humongous mess. Have they no short term memory? Two years ago there was serious concerns from economists that we were heading into another Great Depression. To be sure, the job market is still pretty bad. That's one reason I started the Career Changers TV show. I knew it was going to take at least a couple of years for Obama to steer this country in the right direction… but I honestly didn't think the GOP was so determined to seize back control that they would purposely sabotage recovery efforts to prevent that from happening. And why?
The only motive I can ascribe their actions to, are basic human emotions we writers focus on in our work: greed, pride, vengeance. Power monger Rupert Murdoch, who runs Fox "News" and now owns the Wall Street Journal, has one goal in mind — to prove he is right and everyone else is wrong. Since he used the Fox propaganda machine to back Bush, Cheney and Rove, he must now rewrite history to vindicate his choice as being "better" than the alternative, which is what Obama's victory represented. The irony of course is Murdoch isn't American, and could care less if his personal need for vindication bankrupts our country.
I keep telling myself it doesn't really matter. Even if the GOP and Tea Party take over, the way our system works these days is that nothing much will change anyway. Ask them what they will cut to balance the budget, and they don't have any real answers. They won't cut the military budget. They won't take the axe to Social Security or Medicare. Once they're elected, they won't take pay cuts or volunteer to eliminate stimulus money that is going to their districts. Instead, they'll wind up taking credit for the stuff that was passed by Dems that kept the economy from completely crashing. Does anyone remember how Bush responded when the crap hit the fan? He had that deer-in-the-headlights look. Wall Street had no confidence in him, even though they helped elect him and kept him in power for eight years — eight years in which corporations were allowed to do whatever they wanted under his rule! Sigh.
An old college friend of mine recently decided to pull a "Lost in America" move and got rid of his house and belongings to travel the country with his wife in a van. In some ways I envy him. Why worry about a mortgage and scratching out a living, when there is so much more out there to be experienced that doesn't have to be ugly and nasty as what we see on the nightly TV news? Why not just chuck it all and become a nomad… but then I remember the movie and realize that my wife and I would wind up blowing the "nest egg" in Vegas or Atlantic City in all likelihood, because we want the nice creature comforts that define the American Dream. It's sad though that the dream has soured for so many people in this country. Tomorrow we'll wake up and try to carry on. That's all we can do.
Here's a link to my friend's blog about "dropping out" and seeing America via a Eurovan camper:
Gerry was one of my college apartment roommates at Montclair State in New Jersey way back in 1976-77. He was and still is a talented writer himself. A poet actually, who became a computer programmer (or software designer? I'm not sure), which I always thought was kind of odd — he never struck me as the programmer type, to say the least. Funny how life takes us down so many unexpected roads, only to arrive at the destination we had in mind from the very start.
Sorry for the rant, but I had to do some venting or my head would explode!

In the modern workplace, an organization's most important assets are its people. The knowledge, skills and expertise found throughout your carefully recruited teams are tantamount to individual and collective success.
All too often, however, this specialized knowledge is obfuscated by physical and organizational barriers. People know what information they need, but are unable to track down the answers they're looking for. The popular adage "It's not what you know, it's who you know" reminds us that the best-connected employees get the most done.
That's where Office 365 can help. As Microsoft works to reinvent productivity for the modern workplace, their goal is to put people at the center of the connected suite experience. When you're able to tap into the hidden knowledge throughout your organization and leverage your talent pool, you're able to achieve more.

Steam Generator
Steam generators are boilers that create steam to operate steamers, warmers, and kettles. Steam is well known for its ability to cook consistently and efficiently. Generators can be modular or free standing, making them a versatile way to operate several pieces of restaurant equipment without using much extra energy. A commercial steam generator can also be set up to operate without adding additional ambient heat to your kitchen. They make a cost-effective choice when your facility does not already have an operable kitchen boiler. More

Beijing, Jun 11 (PTI) In a rare show of public dissent, hundreds of people came out on the streets in Chinas biggest city and financial hub Shanghai today to protest against the recent changes in housing regulations by the city government.
Up to 300 demonstrators marched through Shaghais busiest shopping street. Many of them held banners and encouraged onlookers to take photos, state-run Global Times reported.
It was not clear if any of the marchers were detained by the police during the protest that lasted for nearly an hour.
One protester, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the newspaper that the demonstrators were people living in commercial properties converted to residential apartments.
The government in Shanghai on May 17 announced that people were not allowed to convert commercial properties for residential use, and buildings that have been converted should be changed back to their previous situation, the report said.
The anonymous protester said people who have been living in commercial premises converted to residential use were forced to do so either because of the sky-high residential property prices, or they were unable to buy as they do not have a hukou (a household registration record required by law in China).
Converting commercial buildings for residential use can be costly and dangerous as they have different construction standards, urban development expert Niu Fengrui of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told the daily.
The government notice also said many developers misled property buyers, telling them they could convert commercial buildings into apartments. PTI KJV ABH

People often use social media as a way to brag or show off their fabulous lifestyle -- a behavior Peep Me app wants to capitalize on. The social network app allows users to share new purchases and how much it cost them. From photos of fancy food to new jeans, you can openly brag about your swag. Peep Me also keeps a running tally of how much money you've spent total.
With ringing endorsements from Scott Disick and Kim Kardashian, peep.me lets wealthy people brag openly and offers others the opportunity to peep into your spending. It's unsure what the relationship is exactly between the Kardashians and the app, but Scott in particular has advertised it through his Instagram account letthelordbewithyou.

This was a TV movie produced by aaron Spelling that I guess was on sometime in the late 70s. I got it as part of the Fright Night bargain DVD boxed set, with 10 movies for $20, which also features God Told Me To, which is TOTALLY worth getting the set for. Those things are good to have around because then there's always something to watch, no matter how horrid it is, and there's usually at least one or two gems in every one. This is not really one of them, but it's amusing enough.
The movie begins with a blonde woman driving a car as though she's being chased. But she's not… there's nothing behind her. It goes on so long that you start to wonder if she's just nuts. Then she finally makes it to her sister's house. Her sister promised she'd be home, but is out at the store… which seems rather rude, as the woman on the run seems pretty hysterical, but who knows. Anyway, soon the first woman is dead.
The sister who was out shopping, Elizabeth, doesn't believe that her sister would have committed suicide, so she decides to check in at the academy where he was going to school. If she were so fucking concerned you'd think she could manage to be home when her obviously WAY upset sister arrives, but no. This is never addressed. Anyway, the school is Salem Academy for Women. Get it? Salem? SALEM? I hope all the dark foreboding here is not being lost on you.
She is met upon arrival by a pre-Charlie's Angel Kate Jackson, and two other instant friends, one of whom is played by Cheryl Ladd. They complain about the headmistress, whom they invariably call the "Dragon Lady," and who we are soon introduced to. She is this older Lucille Ball-type with these high cheeks that really look like these bizarre pouches of flesh hanging off her eyes. She looks like that character with the big baggy cheeks from the end of Return of the Jedi. So Elizabeth is welcomed to the school and has to go to class.
Her first class is art, presided over by the handsome Mr. Clampett. All of the girls apparently have crushes on him. He espouses this hippie attitude towards the wonders of art, telling the women that "they have to let their minds hang loose." Then, after going on about how they have to open themselves and accept all different forms of personal expression, he mercilessly rips apart their paintings as being inadequate! Elizabeth sees a painting of her dead sister looking terrified in some old basement.
After this is psychology, where a number of white rats are running abound a maze. The teacher here, Professor Delacroix [played by Lloyd Bochner, yes, Hart Bochner's father!], is this darkly handsome dominant jerk with a mustache, and he also belittles the women. These two seems to comprise the entire faculty of the school.
Soon the plucky Elizabeth is creeping around the basement of the school with a lantern, looking for the evil room she saw in the painting. And this is where it begins to be very apparent that this is a TV movie, as it has ALL sorts of time to waste. We see Elizabeth leave her room, go to the art room, get the painting, go back, go downstairs, look all around… and it's like, couldn't we, you know, edit this down a little? This tendency continues throughout the movie.
Anyway, it seems that some dark force is making the girls kill themselves, and the other girls are terrified to talk about what's going on. There is a lot of misdirection over who are the evil ones, but when it's revealed, it's not really a surprise.
Turns out that the handsome art teacher is actually Satan. Dang it, isn't that always the way! It seems that many moons ago a bunch of witches were hung in that evil basement room, and now the art teacher is recruiting women to… I'm not really sure what. It may be that I was just too tired, but I think in reality the whole vision of the movie is unclear.
Anyway, by the time it's over, hurled lanterns explode like firebombs, there is the requisite big fire, and wouldn't you know, Satan gets away at the end. Drat you Satan!
If you happen to own one of these boxed sets and have nothing to do, you could do worse than to watch this. If not, I think there's no reason to seek it out. Unless, you know, you just really, really, really need to see the complete oeuvre of Kate Jackson.

Business Computer Projects (BCP) and Avery Berkel have formed a partnership to launch what they claim to be the UKs first fully integrated point of sale (PoS) and weighing solution on a single item of hardware.
Called Accord-WeighPoS, it combines BCPs Accord-Retailer software with the Avery Berkel MP series scales. This first one-box system provides a cost effective, small footprint weighing and PoS solution for food retailers.
With modern touch screen technology and links to a wide range of peripherals, including cash drawer, printer and scanner, Accord-WeighPoS allows food retailers to improve customer service, speed up checkout operations, reduce costs and free up valuable counter space for merchandising or other counter services.
The touch screen operation is simple to use with clear user prompts. Operators select the item to be weighed, either by product group, by the first letters of description or by PLU. Best seller keys for the fastest moving lines can be included. Accord-WeighPoS will also print labels and receipts.
Other benefits include reduced shrinkage; improved staff efficiency, security, supervisory and cash control; accurate pricing and full back office, head office and distribution options for retailers requiring them. The solution also offers a rapid return on investment and is available for purchase or lease/rental for retailers preferring to spread the cost of investment.
Rob Taylor-Brown, BCP Commercial Manager, reports widespread interest in the new solution: WeighPoS is a unique solution for retailers who sell goods requiring weighing and is already attracting a great deal of interest from a wide range of retailers - from convenience stores and delicatessens to butchers and farm stores.

UHANS A101 and A101s artistic video
by Nov 14, 2016 8:00 am0
UHANS A101 has been a big success for UHANS, so the company decided to improve it even more and offer better specs and UX for the same $69.99 with the UHANS A101s. Both devices are already shipping and the Chinese manufacturer made an artistic video, focusing mostly on the design. Indeed, the devices look beautiful presented this way and the finish seems quite good.
The UHANS A101s comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage while its predecessor featured 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. As for the SoC, the new device seems a little underpowered in comparison to the A101 but the extra RAM makes up for this. The rest of the specs remain the same except for the camera. The A101s has an 8MP sensor by Sony interpolated to 13MP. An improvement over the A101.
To continue, what is a bit weird, is the fact that both devices are available for the same price. Surely, no one will pick the older over the newer device. Especially since the new one come in more and beautiful colors.
You can find all the available device and specs on the official page of UHANS here.

One of the most stressful times in a couple's life is the planning of their wedding.

These guests have some tough wedding-related decisions to make and they turn to Dr. Phil for the answers.
'Til Debt Do Us Part
Kathy wants the wedding of her dreams and is willing to go into debt over it. Her fiance, Peter, wants to stick to what they can afford " a backyard barbecue and a beer keg.
Dr. Phil offers a dose of reality.
Sister Stress
Most brides can't wait for their wedding day, but Candice says she can't stand the thought of leaving her sister, Brandy, behind when she ties the knot.
Parent Trap
One bride-to-be dreams of having her dad walk her down the aisle, but doubts he'd show up. Another wants her mom's help with the planning, but she's caught in the middle of her divorced parents.


text: I hate to admit it but I have been trying to get back into the workforce for almost an entire year now and to say the least I'm at the point to where I'm wondering if I will ever get a job, ever place I go to says the same thing "We can take your application but we aren't really hiring right now". I have been applying to a lot of places online ie.. sending E-Mails and faxing and for the most part never hear back from them or it turns out to be a scam, and the ones that I do manage to get an interview with usually says something like "We have a few more people to interview but we will call you and let you know one way or another" .... and suprise suprise I never hear back from them. I have 15+ years working in the field of electronics and to be perfectly honest I'm at the point to where I would be willing to work at a McDonalds (please forgive me). Is there any of you other guys out there that have run into something similar?

In reply to:
Re: Lambersons in Jamaica NY 1700's
Linda D. Himpsl 1/20/03
The Bible from which the following Lamberson information is taken is the 1797 edition of several published by Mark and Charles Kerr of Edinburgh Scotland. This company published from 1790 to 1820. I contacted the rare books division of the Scottish National Archives and was advised that only two other 1797 editions of this Bible are known to exist, and the Scots don't have one! In any case, here is what is in the family geneology:
Waters, son of John Lamberson was born April 3 in the year of our Lord 1749 and on 24th April 1775 was married to Hannah Smith widow of William Smith and daughter of Hope Rhoads. Born February 9, 1749
Waters Lamberson was born July 9, 1776
David Lamberson was born June 5 1778
Margaret Lamberson was born September 27, 1780
Sarah Lamberson was born October 3, 1783
John Lamberson was born August 9, 1785
Nicholas Lamberson died September 21, 1788
Nicholas Lamberson was born June 22, 1790
Polly Lamberson was born October 7, 1792
Nicholas Lamberson died September 24, 1793
That's all that is recorded on the blank page adjacent to the begining of the New Testament, which is where such items were usually noted.

The heroine, Anna Braxton, is not your typical young woman in 14th century Scotland--or England, for that matter. Here is what DD has to say about her.
DD MacRae: The inspiration of Anna was born of two things, my 35 years of love of martial arts and fascination with the Crusades. She is actually a composite of two women I used to train with. With the exception of her archery, the other skills are held by a combination of both of these ladies. I attempted to keep the weaponry and abilities authentic to the period. In Chinese martial arts, it was common to learn the art of healing along with, or before one learned to fight, hence Anna's knowledge of acupuncture and other herbal healing. History tells us acupuncture goes back thousands of years.
The trick was to figure out a way to get Chinese martial arts and weaponry, along with healing arts, into medieval England, and the 9th Crusades provided the vehicle. During this period, the Silk Road, which was a means for many cultures and peoples to mingle, was dominated by the Mongols as they and the Muslim Mamluks fought for superiority in the region. When Edward (Longshanks), son of Henry III, came crusading after arriving too late to aid Louis IX of France in the capture of Tunis, he headed toward the Holy Land. Edward negotiated an alliance with the Mongols to fight the Mamluks in the region.
While seeing some success in places like Tripoli (modern day Lebanon and Syria) and Acre (Northern Israel), Edward withdrew due to pressing needs back home. The 9th Crusade wasn't a loss per se, but rather the campaign ran out of steam as its principals were needed elsewhere.
The backstory for Highland Escape gives us Sir Everard Braxton, a English knight, who proved instrumental in the campaign in Tripoli and was in turn rewarded with a small barony in the borderlands. It was common for second sons who wouldn't inherit and other knights to go on crusade for the opportunity to earn land and wealth in the Holy Land, or purchase land for themselves with the spoils back home. Some would say such a title and holding wasn't much of a reward, as the borders were a dangerous and tumultuous place, particularly at this time. Longshanks would want men he knew to be loyal and strong at the border.
Having won victory at Tripoli, it wasn't a stretch for Braxton to have freed Mamluk prisoners. Zhang was a bodyguard to a rich merchant who plied the Silk Road who met with a foul end. Attaching himself to Braxton in exchange for his freedom, Zhang provided the means of cultural transfer to the borders of Northern medieval England. His time in captivity would have changed his perspective on training, much like US POWs in Viet Nam changed how military training is done today. Anna and her brother Edrick became beneficiaries of his experience.
Braxton used diplomacy rather than war to keep the peace on his piece of the border by marrying the daughter of the local Scottish laird. While this made him a peacekeeper in his territory, it set up an impossible situation for his daughter, who was despised for her Scot's blood south of the border, and for her English heritage north of it. This provided enough conflict for Anna to become someone other than a pampered English noblewoman.
We hope you enjoy Anna's story and the rich history behind it.

Pasta with roasted peppers, rocket and goat cheese
I adore roasted peppers in any variation but I don't always find time to prepare them. As much as I would like to do all of my cooking Slow Food style, taking time for things , chopping vegetables into tiny brunoise, simmering stews for hours - generally not rushing, reality (at least during the week) is often nothing like it. Rather, I come home from work at 7 p.m., ravenous and eager to rustle up a tasty and healthy dish in as little time as possible. Dilemma, yes, but this is where the nice people from the supermarket come in by making it possible for me to purchase roasted pepper in jars! They'll never taste as wonderful as the fresh, home-roasted ones but they're a very valid subsitute! I prefer the ones in water to the sott'olio kind, I find the oil always tastes a bit funny.
Pasta with roasted peppers, rocket and goat cheese (serves 2)
- 160g pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 handfull cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 jar roasted peppers, drained and cut into strips
- 1 large handfull rocket, chopped
- 80g fresh goat cheese, cut into cubes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
