God Of The Mountain, And The Valley Too!
Contributed by James May on Jul 11, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: God's Love and His power are with his children whether we are on the mountaintop or in the valley deep. He is Jehovah-Nissi!

God of the Mountain, and the Valley Too!
Sunday, July 15, 2001
1 Kings 20:27-28, "And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country. And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
One can hardly imagine what that scene must have looked like as the two armies faced off at Aphek. There was a virtual sea of Syrian soldiers, while the army of Israel was divided into two groups. The Bible tells us that they looked like two "little flocks of sheep" while the Syrians "filled the land". The odds were impossible and just the way God wanted them. This was not a war to prove how courageous or mighty the Israelites were; it was a battle between the gods of the Syrians and Jehovah. This was a battle to prove, once again, that God was with His people.
Once again, God is speaking to us concerning the battles of life that we all must face. This battle is both physical and spiritual but ultimately, it is spiritual.
1 Kings 20:29-30, "And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day. But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left..."
There is a song that we used to sing years ago and the chorus of that song went like this:
The God on the mountain; is still God in the valley
When things go wrong; He'll make them right
The God of the good times; is still God in the bad times
The God of the day; is still God in the night
God was on the mountaintop with Moses in all His glory and majesty as He gave us the 10 commandments, and God was down in the valley with Israel and it's sin
God was on the mountaintop with David in Israel's camp as fear reigned over Israel as they faced the Philistines, and down in the valley with Goliath's threats when God guided David's stone into the forehead of the giant.
Satan is more powerful than the people of God when approached from a human perspective, but He is no match for the King of Kings and Jehovah-Nissi, the Lord our Banner.
Song of Solomon 2:4, "He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love."
The love of God reigns supreme over all the power of the enemy of my soul. Paul says in Romans 8:38-39, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
When we are on the mountaintop, our vision is clear, we can see almost forever and all of life falls into perspective for we are above the battle. Oh how I love those mountaintop experiences.
When the Spirit of God in our midst moves upon us so wonderfully. People are gloriously saved, filled with the Holy Ghost, slain in the Spirit, miraculously healed and delivered from all manner of oppression and depression. Those are mountaintop experiences!
After a time of prayer where you know that you have touched Heaven and that you have been in a one on one communication with God and your feet seem to float above the ground, there is a spring in your step and all's well with your heart and life – that's the mountaintop.

Google is going again at it, after a failed initial attempt of injecting Android to really the under-development countries of the world, using Android One as the operating system which would work on low-end phones. Android Go is what Google hopes to achieve the objective what Android One failed to do.
Android Go will be able to run on devices with even lesser than 1 gigs of RAM, according to its official specifications released by Google at the Google I/O event. Android Go is mainly developed to create a platform which could run smoothly in lower-end devices and keep the core values of Android untouched.
Downgraded, probably, but not eliminated completely. Of course, such an operating system would be useless to bring out in a developed country where high-end smartphones loses their value once a successor arrives in a year. However, countries where smartphone usage is emerging, like Brazil, India, Argentina, and other such countries, they could very well benefit from Android Go, and benefit Google in return.
Google will also pay extra attention on compatibility, applications with ridiculously high specifications requirements may not be able to run on Android Go, but there are thousands of other apps which can easily run in a system with 1GB RAM. Google will rebuild the Play Store from the ground up for Android Go. This Play Store will use visual cues and badges to indicate how smoothly can an app run on the particular device.

What a difference a week makes. Last week I was lying in the hospital hooked up to IV's this week I'm feeling great. The weather is supposed to be close to 70 today. I'll be sitting on the deck with my work laptop soaking up the sun.
This week was extremely busy with edits, getting my agent proposal out the door and writing. I'd like to finish the book I'm working on by the end of the month. There's another book itching to be written, but I'm trying to keep the heroine at bay until this one is completed. I hope she cooperates. :o)
It's Friday. The weekend is supposed to be rain-free so that's a plus. Hopefully the DH and I will get out of the house. It seems someone has been sick the last five weekends. I'd like to see the new Bradley Cooper movie. The premise looks good and well, he's just yummy to look at. Robert DeNiro stars in it so it's got to be good, right?
The countdown begins for my first release of 2011. One week until Just Another Rainy Day will be available from Ellora's Cave. Woo Hoo.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Swap Apron, Finally Done
I'm posting this directly from Flickr, which I'm sort of thinking is probably a mistake but, you know, whatever. I'll try anything once. Posting from Flickr didn't work so well. I got words but, strangely, no pics.
Being home it's hard to post to the blog, hard to upload pics, etc. The computer's in Evan's room here and so I only get to steal moments when a grandmother or someone else is watching the babe. My usual after-dinner-blog-fest (write, read) is a no-go since Evan's sound asleep by then.
So anyway, here's a somewhat odd pic of the finished Sassy Apron Swap apron. It's made with brown cotton, hand-embroidered with three shades of blue thread, and lined (with a little sticking out) with some caribbean-ish blue fabric. The ties are super long so you can tie them in front if desired. They're pale sky blue and they help pull out the sky blue in the embroidery.
I hope my partner loves it. It was hard to send because I kind of wanted it for myself. You know how it goes.
It was a lot of work for an apron, I'll admit. But in an era of super-simple do-it-quick sewing patterns and books, sometimes it's nice to take your time with a project that's meant to be a little bit ornate, a little bit special.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod, I LOVE IT!!! Got it in the mail the other day and literally gasped when I saw it. So gorgeous, and having recently learned how to do a french knot, I am in awe of your patience!!! Just stunning. I wore it around the house for a while, and my little girl just loved rubbing her hands across the bumpy little knots. Fun for the whole family! I can not thank you enough, you are just the best apron swapper EVER! THANK YOU!!!
I'm just guessing but from the above comment I'd say it was a hit. :) Very beautiful. I too am in awe of your French knotting patience.
that apron is incredibly beautiful. I can imagine that it would be hard to give up after all the hard work. i love that you can tie it in the front as well. i am in love with the apron! incredibly impressed. you could start your own business! seriously.

Battery Park City maybe one of Manhattan's newest neighborhoods, but it is actually where the history of New York City began in the late 1600's. Fast forward today this neighborhood is a safe and modern as it can be with highrise residential buildings, shops and small restaurants. The most notable landmark is the Hudson River esplanade where you can see residents bike, jog and enjoy outdoor activities during clement weather.
This is a truly fun oriented neighborhood, ideal for those who work in the financial district within minutes to Wall Street and all major trading banks.

End user: Kesko Food, Finland's leading company in the groceries trade
System: M84PRO 200 dpi with LAN printer for printing picking labels and pallet labels
Benefits: Flexible labelling operations, better print quality and on-demand printing
Kesko Food, a daughter company of Kesko Oy, is Finland's leading company in the groceries trade sector with a turnover of 3812 million € (Kesko's total turnover is 7517 million €). Kesko Food is the market leader with a current market share in Finland of 36%. Kesko Food headquarters are located in Helsinki and it has 2 logistics centres in Vantaa and in Turku. Kesko Food's logistics centre in Vantaa has two central warehouses with a surface of over 10 hectares filled with thousands of products.
When SATO's Business Partner in Finland, Meckelborg, was approached by Kesko Food, it was planning to move their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system to SAP R/3 and simultaneously it wanted to renew its label printing operations. Previously label printing was done with matrix and laser printer, but it did not anymore provide a customised solution for printing individual, on-demand labels in various different printing locations.
Kesko Food saw the need to move away from printing labels with matrix and laser printers, as it needed to print big quantities at one and the printing locations were located far from each other which made the printing on-demand and on-site very difficult.
One of the challenges to Meckelborg and Kesko Food was to identify a label printing solution that is compatible with the system and allows exporting from SAP.
Solution: Barcodes Reveal Packing Errors
After thorough research into Kesko Food's needs, Meckelborg proposed to Kesko Food a complete "Merkintäpalvelusopimus" (Marking Service Contract) solution including not only M84PRO 200 dpi thermal printers, but also including all the necessary consumables and maintenance service. An important factor of this contract is that the customer does not invest in the printers, but pays a monthly fee.
The M84PRO printer was chosen, since it is developed for the toughest of industrial environments, the all-metal casing endures harsh knocks and resists dust and dirt. It can also handle the big quantities that Kesko Food needs to print. With the M84PRO from SATO it is possible to print 24h/24h, 7 days a week. With the user changeable print resolution 203/305/609 dpi, it is now possible to print barcodes, text and fine detailed graphics with clarity and precision.
Kesko Food now has 60 units of M84PRO printers in its logistics centres around Finland. The printers are connected via a LAN connection to the main system and the printers look up for information such as delivery address, picking number, routed from SAP R/3. The routing of information from SAP R/3 to the printer was simple by using SATO's Label Gallery, label creation software. With these 60 printers Kesko Food prints 43 million picking labels (size 75 x 45mm) per year and 22 million pallet labels (size 96 x 148 mm) per year.
When Kesko Food tested the different colleagues' solutions, SATO's M84PRO responded perfectly to their needs and was reliable and robust and the Marking Service Contract from Meckelborg allowed a completely new approach to labelling with service included.
The benefits of this complete marking solution at Kesko Food are numerous. 60 printers located in the distribution centres near the labelling location makes the labelling operations more flexible. By using the thermal printers from SATO, the operators can print smaller quantities than with the previous printers and the print quality is higher. With the Marking Service Contract from Meckelborg the maintenance is straightforward and Kesko Food receives immediate service. Tapio Iirola, SAP implementation team leader from Kesko Food, said "The most important advantage for Kesko Food is that everything is centralised, and all the services and supplies are available under one roof. In addition, the SATO M84PRO printers have led to great cost savings and improved efficiency in our logistics centres."

Looks smaller than normal in this shot
Nice picture and airplane, but actually in my opinion the livery looked much better than the new one.
It looks so "cold"
It looks so "cold"
Looks "better than the 737" according to a.net. I think a.net should refrain from making such statements.
Newer liveries across airlines become somewhat stereotyped, using no longer elements that really differentiate an airliner from the broad mass. This CZ Airplane looks much like a low-cost one - unfortunately.
I disagree with the statement that is looks better on the A320. Fact is, its a bland paint scheme... a bit boring, nonetheless a good photo. Its not the photographers fault that CSA has a new and boring color scheme.

I have all figured out. It will be like this:
growth = 2%
inflation= 6%
Selic = 10.5%
FPS (the real one) = 1% of GDP
FX = 2.53 in december
C.A deficit = 2.9% (because of poor growth and FX depreciation)
Dilma is reelected, and then the same figures hold for 2015-2018 (on average)
See you all in 2019, if I manage to live until there
ps. I left Brookline, and am currently living in NY at 43th, I work in the financial sector, I do algo_trade in Yens


text: I wanted to try some real kosher food, at a real restaurant, not just deli food. As I normally go to Canter's, it was recommended I try Shula & Esther Restaurant, just a block north, just south of Melrose, as a real authentic Jewish place. Anybody here try it? They don't seem to have a website, and there are only a few sketchy reviews that I can see. What are good ethnic dishes, not just pastrami and chicken soup?

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible.

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.

India jumps 30 places, breaks into top 100 of World Bank's Ease of Doing Business rankings
In a major shot in the arm for the Narendra Modi government, the report recognises India as one of the top 10 improvers in this year's assessment.
Moneycontrol News
India leapfrogged into the 100th rank in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business rankings, jumping 30 notches from last year, in an endorsement of the string of reforms implemented by the Narendra Modi government.
The report also recognises India as one of the top 10 improvers in this year's assessment, having implemented reforms in eight out of 10 Doing Business indicators.
India is the only large country this year to have achieved such a significant shift. On the "distance to frontier metric," one of the key indicators in the survey, India's score went from 56.05 in Doing Business 2017 to 60.76 in Doing Business 2018...Read More

I know I never said this was going to be a travel blog, but travel I did, and the journey is still so present in my mind, that I cannot escape talking about it. I did say though, that this is a visual journey.
It started life as my daughter's bedroom curtain, cheap and cheerful, bought just after the era of pure baby cutesy and before that of the pre-teen and teen fanciness.
Very good quality cotton and good finishing too.
Did I want to get rid of it just because it had overgrown my daughter's taste? Not really.
The 'fruity' pattern blends well in a kitchen set. It was made in Bangladesh I learned from the label, even though the design most probably originated in Sweden as it was bought in Ikea at their Wembley store.
Ready to be transformed into a panel with pockets with minimal intervention, it was a wonderful occasion to allay concerns about disposing too easily of a piece of textile that had already undergone quite a lot, one of those global objects that you cannot stop interrogating yourself about how many people have been affected by its making and in what ways.
Not to mention the wonderful feeling of not needing money to buy something because you are actually able to make it.
So far so good, not a big story, only one typical of so many textiles through the centuries, with design, manufacture, trade, and of course, consumption, going in all (sometimes unexpected) directions.
But then Iran took over, a journey attempted for years, with the plans always falling through at the last minute for one reason or another. The return of my husband to his homeland after twenty two years of absence, the much anticipated meeting of his family with me and our daughter for the first time. A trip so emotionally charged that we could be forgiven for not organizing it properly, or at least this is my excuse.
Two questions above all occupied my mind over the weeks leading up to it. What to bring as presents and what Sara and I should wear in Iran?
After months of asking for advice everywhere and scouring the web too, we still weren't sure at all, and my husband, as they do, didn't have a clue (or if he did he managed to keep it well hidden).
So, I decided to make myself something between a kaftan and a kamiz, as in a Punjabi suit, to go with and then we would buy something according to the local fashion, once arrived.
After finding an address for a good Indian fabric shop on the Ealing Road off I went to buy the material.
For another little twist of fate, the three pieces of coordinated fabric were padded with a piece of newspaper folded inside, The Times of India, reproducing an article from the English ' Independent' about the Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi and why he should resign (and that was 2008!) Could not stop laughing! It would be nice to show you the photos here if some evil influence hadn't obviously managed to make them disappear from my drive!

Outpatient spine is here, and it's going to get bigger much bigger. The combination of innovative techniques, motivated patients, new ways to control pain and nausea, and financial incentives are going to make it too attractive to ignore. John C. Liu, MD, co-director of the USC Spine Center at Keck Medicine of USC and one of the pioneers of outpatient spine, will explain what's needed to succeed, so you don't get left behind.
The inspiration. Patients and insurance companies are both driving this trend. Patients obviously are much happier recovering at home, and insurance companies want it because it's much less expensive overall. With the advent of minimally invasive techniques and other innovations, it's become safe to get people home on the same day.
Pain control. We try to reduce the use of opiates before the operation. The more opiate naïve people are, the better we can control post-op pain. We also use intra-operative techniques, such as long-lasting local anesthetics or cocktails of steroids and pain medications. We pre-medicate with things like gabapentin and IV acetaminophen membrane-stabilizing medications. We send opiates home with patients, but many patients at least with the smaller operations don't end up taking them.
Learning curve. We're going through a learning curve now, figuring out what the limitations are, and making sure we can deliver what we think we can deliver. But the number of operations that can be done outpatient is definitely growing. We do anterior cervical discectomies, artificial disc replacement, posterior cervical foraminotomy, posterior lumbar discectomies and lumbar decompressions, among others. Most spine operations still can't be done outpatient, but clearly there are a lot of bread-and-butter operations that can be, and we're looking to do more and more.

Okay that's Episode 6 of my Let's Play Dwarf Fortress up on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Please remember to like and subscribe if possible, it all helps.
Managed to get an episode of my Dwarf Fortress series recorded this afternoon. Just rendering it the moment and then I'll get it uploaded to YouTube.
Right, well, I spent yesterday evening, working backwards through the backups of the save game from Episode 3, which I'd updated as each version came out. Found that the 0.40.16 one did't crash after the caravan departs the map, so copied that up to the next version and played to the stage where it was crashing, if it worked then I copied it to the next and so on. But always going back to the 0.40.16 save game and redoing the actions I'd done.
Eventually I got the save working with 0.40.23, the latest Starter Pack version so I'm happy now to start recording again :_)
After a further 2 crashes I've finished recording the second episode that I planned to record this morning. I think I'll go back to using version 0.40.19 and get the fort back up to where this second episode finishes at and hopefully it'll be crash free. If that works, then I'll stick with that version for recording this series and not update Dwarf Fortress until this fortress falls into decline.
Okay well I decided to try and record three episodes of the Dwarf Fortress series this morning. Got half way through my second episode when Dwarf Fortress decided to crash on me. Loaded it back up, found I'd lost about 20 minutes of play time and so tried to get back to where I stopped recording, off camera, but it crashed again just about at the same spot.
I think I may go back to the 0.40.19 version of Dwarf Fortress and replay up to where I was at again and see how that goes. I'm currently rendering the first episode I managed to get in full so that I can get that posted up to Youtube today.
Finally managed to get the next episode in my Dwarf Fortress series recorded and uploaded today :_)

Large scale magnetic fields and their dissipation in GRB fireballs
Max-Planck-Institut für Astrophysik, Postfach 1317, 85741 Garching bei München, Germany
Corresponding author: H. C. Spruit, firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 17 January 2001
We consider possible geometries of magnetic fields in GRB outflows, and their evolution with distance from the source. For magnetically driven outflows, with an assumed ratio of magnetic to kinetic energy density of order unity, the field strengths are sufficient for efficient production of γ-rays by synchrotron emission in the standard internal shock scenario, without the need for local generation of small scale fields. In these conditions, the MHD approximation is valid to large distances (1019 cm). In outflows driven by nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields, changes of direction of the field cause dissipation of magnetic energy by reconnection. Much of this dissipation takes place outside the photosphere of the outflow, and can convert a significant fraction of the magnetic energy flux into radiation.
Key words: gamma-ray bursts / magnetic fields / radiation mechanisms: nonthermal / shock waves

When their parents decide to move to Forgotten Bay to take over a dilapidated seaside hotel where even radios don't work, Amelia and James are horrified.
Amelia, who misses gymnastics and her old friends, can't bear it. The hotel is freaky, their friends are far away, and the caretaker is a sinister old man with an eye patch and "something wrong" with his fingers: "He's missing a finger—creepy." It would be completely unbearable if it weren't for Charlie, the dorky local boy who's befriended Amelia and agrees that Tom's missing finger is "so creepy." There are plenty of mysteries to investigate in this shabby resort. There's the gadget that Charlie and Amelia find that "looks like lipstick for a robot" and seems to work like a camera. There's a giant tank of centipedes and a suitcase full of enticing, mesmerizing jewels. Even after they solve this set of mysteries, plenty of secrets are left for future series entries: who is Lady Naomi? What was the Whatever It Was that happened at James' old school? Is there something special behind the secret door hidden behind the painting of Matilda Swervingthorpe in Amelia's bedroom? What about the Krskn? Amelia, James, Charlie, and the lot all appear to be white in the uncredited illustrations. "Jones" is a pseudonym for Chris Morphew, Rowan McAuley, and David Harding.
This goofy paranormal is packed with plenty of joyful silliness, from iridescent aliens to disgusting breakfast, despite distracting, stale overuse of disability-as-horror tropes. (Science fiction. 8-11)

at the time this article, we study how to get ranked in the top of this blog does not rank in the top, but up-and-there. And also I try to be bloger the best, this blog also as a place to study me.
honest I'm designing a web / blog will be paying to use the domain to be more steady. ok we direct my research in order to get the goals we have with money online.
- To get top ranking in search engines, we must first examine PageRank our competitors.
- Check if the PageRank web / blog that we have, web / blogs that have only PageRank 2 / 10 akan Remove our easy if we have a PageRank 5 or 6.
- Check tags <h1> in the web / blog our competitors, whether it uses the keyword there.
- Check whether the image in any web / blog our competitors tag <alt>.
- Check keywords that have content on the web / blog our competitors.
if we want to get top ranking using the above step. I mean
add keyword tags in <h1>, add tags <alt> in every image that we used, add the keyword in each of our content.
hope that helps

Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is often the preferred whitening method because even though stronger agents are applied, the rest of the mouth, including the gums, is protected from these materials. The procedure takes about an hour and a half to complete with immediate results.
We use a unique 40% Hydrogen Peroxide bleaching gel that boosts teeth whitening up to 8-10 shades whiter. No UV light required. Little to no sensitivity reported.
Here are some results of the professional whitening completed by our dental team.

"Smart" electricity meters deployed in Christchurch suit the current New Zealand environment and can be upgraded to support new network interfaces, supplier Arc Innovations says.
The metering project came under fire from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Jan Wright, last month when she issued a report saying the meters weren't smart enough.
The report, "Smart Electricity Meters — how households and the environment can benefit" generated a flurry of comment on the technology, but the meter technology provider questions the Commissioner's contention that meters recently deployed could have been smarter.
A truly smart meter, Wright claims, can schedule domestic appliances to switch on when electricity is cheap — providing the supplier is willing to price it that way. The meter needs to possess three capabilities to fully benefit the consumer, she says; a network-capable chip in the meter, "smart appliances" with their own network chips and "smart pricing", whereby the power companies offer discounts at periods of low demand.
Smart-meter deployment in the Christchurch region started three years ago, says Grant Simpson, general manager of marketing for Arc Innovations. At that time there were no firm standards and the consortium in charge of developing them was a different body from the Zigbee Alliance the Commissioner is focusing on, he says.
A report earlier this year on smart meter technology by US analyst firm ON World casts doubt on Wright's contention of a rapid overseas spread of "smart" technology. Despite its optimistic tone, the report predicts only 20 million such "energy-smart homes" worldwide by 2013.
The technology requires microchips in the meter and appliances communicating through a home area network (HAN). The network medium can be the existing domestic wiring system, says the commissioner's report, but wireless communication using Bluetooth or the specialist protocol, Zigbee, is a better option.
Zigbee is supported by an alliance of companies including Phillips, Honeywell, GE, Texas Instruments and metering specialist Landis & Gyr. It is based on a version of the IEEE 801 wireless protocol known as 802.15.4.
Power companies here question how ready for the market this technology is and how it might change before a substantial number of households in the country are ready to implement it.
The Electricity Commission has a set of voluntary guidelines on metering; these provide that meters should have a "suitable HAN interface".
The commission prefers not to regulate, but to rely on cooperation of retailers, says spokesman Peter Thornbury.
It is, however, concerned that standards be open, so users are free to move their business between providers without having to change their meter.
Simpson says the current Christchurch meters have "an open port" that could be used for a HAN interface in the future, but he acknowledges there will be a cost attached to such an upgrade.
He also casts doubt on the utility of a special-purpose home display of electricity consumption that Wright sees as a short-term cost saver.
Such devices have been tried and "end up in a drawer" after a brief period of use, he says.
A better solution would be that increasingly familiar device the home PC, combined with account information from the power provider's website, he says. Arc Innovations' parent Meridian Energy has already begun providing such data (Computerworld, September 8, 2008) and plans to improve its frequency of real time updates.

Just a short one :-)
Knife sharpening is a subject that I do enjoy reading about and playing with new techniques. I normally just use 2 Japanese whetstones, 1000 and a 6000 one. Stropping was just something I'd heard of people doing, well that soon changed.
Normally I get a basic edge with the 1000 stone then I'd move to the 6000 for a nice mirror finish. After reading about stropping with a leather belt and having watched it on Ray Mears Extra's on one of his DVD's. I thought stropping was just an unnessasary act done by knife sharpeners as a final ceremony.
After a particualr intense session I decided to give it ago for the hell of it.
Stropping is the act of drawing the blade bevel away from you on a piece of leather to remove any bur's from the edge. It removes the bur and gives a better more stable edge, less minute fractures.
After doing this for about 25 strops I tested it on the usual piece of paper and it sliced through effortlessly. Even tried it on my arm seeing if it would shave some hair. Well it did. I was impressed. From now on I shall be stropping my blade.
Also I don't really think I need to use the 1000 as much as it just really shapes the edge, while the 6000 does the sharpening. Just a thought.

Hi guys! Hope you are doing fab!
Just thought I would do a quick blog post on the new L'Oréal Paris False Lash X Fibre Xtreme Resist Waterproof Mascara! I picked this mascara up on a whim in Superdrug, on a shopping trip with Danielle (ddlovesx), as I have been really interested in trying a mascara with a fibre step! You see all of the 'before and after' shots of lashes and really wonder if this really is legit. This mascara retails for £10.99, and only comes in the colour black!
First of all, I do really like the packaging. Very heavy, and being a double sided mascara, I have found it very easy to use. I also really enjoy the wands on both ends, I feel like they really grab at my lashes well, and really fans them out.
The two step process can be a little time consuming, but I have found the fibres really so make my lashes look so much longer! I was really sceptical at first, and was also worried about them flaking off into my eyes! The fibres stuck to the lashes really well, and makes a huge difference once you really start to layer on. This mascara is waterproof, and it doesn't print on my under eye throughout the day, and it really helped to keep the curl in my lashes to!
The only thing I have found it that, I don't partially like this on my bottom lashes! It doesn't really give me the effect I get from a normal mascara, and it just feels way to heavy aswell! So I will just stick to a normal mascara from now on for those!
It is pretty heavy duty, so you really will have to use a waterproof eye makeup remover, otherwise you will be forever scrubbing at your eyes to get this off, and no one wants that!
Overall, this made my lashes look so much longer than they are, and it stayed on all day without flaking or printing, keeping a lush curl all day long! I will continue to use and repurchase this product, I really love the effect it gives me!!
Thanks for reading guys! Until next time!
Lots of love, Ellie x

At Last! Congress finally does something GREAT!!!
We just got really good news this morning!
Congress finally approved the 181C deduction for Independent Films!!! What does that mean?

Childproofing your home involves modifying existing furniture, appliances and other aspects of your house to prevent injury to small children. Heater vents are openings, usually situated in the floor, through which hot air flows. A child can also easily pull off most vent covers, allowing them to insert objects into the vent shaft. This also exposes them to sharp metal or screws. You will need to childproof these vents.
Things You'll Need
- Screw-on vent cover
- Pencil
- Electric drill
- 2 screws
Video of the Day
Purchase the correct screw-on cover for your vents. If you have a floor vent that sits flush with the floor surface, a flat vent cover is appropriate. Select a vent cover with slats that are close enough together that your child cannot stick his fingers in them.
Position the cover over the vent so the edges are flush against the opening.
Locate the screw holes in the vent cover and mark their location with a pencil. Remove the vent cover and drill the screw holes.
Replace the vent cover in its correct position and secure it with screws.

It was a baptism of fire for the New Zealand Exchange's CIO, Chris Corke, who had to shut down the exchange's faulty FASTER trading system yestrday on his second day in the job.
"These things are sent to try us," Corke says.
Yesterday's closure was unrelated to one a month ago, which didn't occur on NZX systems but on settlement applications the exchange depends on. But the upshot of both was that trading was lost for most of a day.
Of yesterday's incident, Corke says, "We were running our morning checks and noted there were a number of users unable to connect."
When a particular summary of trades was requested, the users' connection was terminated "and because there were a number of users affected and NZX wishes to maintain [an environment] where everyone can trade at the same time, it had to be rectified".
The exchange was down until 2.45pm yesterday and Corke says the reason for such a long delay was that the fault was more complex than last month's, which was immediately identifiable, and thus some time was spent identifying it before it could be fixed.
"We've done a full post-mortem on it and are building it into a process for dealing with failures."
Corke says he has been "actively contacting" share broking firms' IT managers and "will be in regular contact with them", in the course of his job.
NZX recently conducted an audit of its IT systems and Corke says "it was very comprehensive, as the amount of paperwork in front of me attests to".
He will be overseeing the implementation of the audit's recommendations, which include replacing or upgrading the network, " a large amount of software development", and "looking at existing systems".
The network, while "resilient", is unlikely to be able to handle an expected increase in traffic volume and thus a replacement is necessary.
"You reach a point where you want to go forward."
NZX plans to launch AX, a secondary board for smaller companies to raise capital, later this year and Corke says NZX's development team will be busy preparing applications related to it.
Extensive work will also be done on web development, "as it's where you get most information [about NZX] if you're a private investor".
NZX's everyday systems such as OS, antivirus and email clients will also be reviewed and while both Red Hat and Debian Linux are in use at the back end, "there are no plans to move to it on workstations, which are a Windows XP environment". He describes Linux on the servers as "very resilient".
Corke is no newcomer to stock exchanges, having worked for the London Stock Exchange for five years and while that was a stimulating place to be, he's enjoying heading the smaller team at NZX.
"In a lot of respects, I prefer it here. It's a small group of focused, bright people."
Corke has lived in New Zealand for 10 years and previous jobs here include two stints at Telecom as well as retail software development manager at Advantage Group and professional services manager for BEA Systems.

Smart gates track passenger location to avoid flight delays
Beeline Reader
We're constantly looking for innovative ways to improve the Springwise experience, and so we're now introducing BeeLine Reader, a new technology that helps you read more quickly and efficiently. To learn more about BeeLine Reader, an award-winning startup funded by Intel Capital, see BeeLineReader.com.
While travelers have been able to make sure they know the whereabouts of their luggage with innovations such as the hop! trackable suitcase, it's much harder for airlines to know exactly where their passengers are when it comes time to board. In order to curb delays to flights when customers haven't turned up on time, London's Heathrow Airport has introduced a new system that lets flight attendants know if someone isn't going to make their plane.
Spotted another good idea???

If you've been reading notesfromthecanopy, you've probably guessed by now that we're a little bit obsessed with trees. So, to proudly flaunt our passion for the mighty trunk, we've comprised this special list of the largest, tallest, oldest and most beautiful trees on our planet. The list is not by any means all encompassing; in fact there are many trees which are missing and could be added. So please, if you think we've missed a really good one, then let us know and we'll add it to the list!
General Sherman – California, USA
By volume, General Sherman is the largest living single stem tree on earth. General Sherman is a sequoia tree located in the giant forest of sequoia national park in California. The tree has an estimated volume of 1,487 cubic metres and a mass of 1,121 tons! To put it in perspective, that's more than 224 elephants. Busting out of the canopy at a height of 83.8 metres, the General is not the tallest, but the largest and probably one of the most famous trees in the world – every year thousands of people come to walk the incredible 31 metres around its base.
Hyperion – Redwood national park, California, USA
The tallest tree on earth (named Hyperion from greek mythology) is a coastal redwood tree (Sequoia sempervirens). Hyperion is 115.72 metres high, which is taller than Big Ben and the statue of liberty. Hyperion was discovered recently, in August 2006. Coastal redwoods are among the largest of tree species; they have a conical crown with horizontal branches and bark which can be up to a foot thick. Like General Sherman, Hyperion has some impressive stats: the tree is 530 cubic metres and approximated to be 700-800 years old. Funnily enough, people said that Hyperion actually should have been taller but a woodpecker stunted its growth.
Eucalyptus regnans – Australia
Eucalyptus regnans, aka "Mountain ash" really take the piss. The tallest specimen ever recorded was 132 metres high… 132! Although traditionally grown in plantations for logging purposes, some of these trees could have been the world's tallest – if they weren't meant for logging. Centurion (Tasmania, Australia) for example, still stands at 99.7 metres, making it the tallest known tree of its species. A great thing to note about these trees is that pure forests of Eucalyptus regnans are supposed to store more carbon than any other forest on earth.
The tree of Tule – Oaxaca, Mexico
El Árbol del Tule, which is spanish for 'the tree of Tule' is located in the grounds of a church in Mexico. The tree, which casts a gigantic shadow over the holy place, is a Montezuma cypress, meaning old man of the water. It has the thickest trunk of any tree in the world and looks more like a medieval fortress than a tree. Get ready for some ridiculous dimensions:
Circumference (total distance around trunk): 42 metres
Max diameter: 14.02 metres
Height: 34 metres
Volume: 816.8 cubic metres
Weight: 636 tons
The age of del Tule is unknown, although speculations range from 1,200 years all the way up to 6,000 years. The trunk of Tule is so large that originally it was thought to be many trees but DNA testing has proved that del Tule is in fact the fattest tree ever.
Adansonia Grandidieri, Madagascar
Otherwise known as Grandidieri's Baobab, these enormous Baobab trees are native to Madagascar. You probably recognise this tree from the animated movie where the crazy lemurs party on the beach. The lemurs of Madagascar are quite important to the life cycle of this tree – on their way through the canopy the little lemurs poke their noses into the flowers and get their faces covered in pollen; inadvertently helping out with the pollination cycle of the tree. Grandidieri trees have a wide cylindrical trunk of up to and over 3 metres and can reach a height of 30 metres.
Although Madagascar is one of the more diverse habitats on our planet, these Baobabs are constantly under threat from agricultural encroachment.
The "Prison Tree", Western Australia
The prison tree (Adansonia Gregorii) is a type of Baobab tree endemic to western Australia. This particular tree has an interesting story. In 1890's, police officers noticed that the tree was completely hollow on the inside. Because the tree was so wide the officers decided to cut an opening in the tree so it could be used as a temporary lock up for prisoners on their way to court. However, some people believe that there is no real evidence to support these claims, and that the notion that the "prison tree" was used to lock up prisoners is a myth which may have been propounded to influence tourism in the area. No smoke without fire you might say. What about smoke machines?
Note: In order to combat harsh drought conditions, Boababs have developed the ability to store copious amounts of water in their trunk. They can store up to 40% of their weight in water in order to survive the dry seasons.
"The Grandmother" – Amazon, Brazil
The Sumauma trees of the Amazon are considered by many to be the largest trees on the planet. One of which, Granny Samauma (located in the forest of Tapajos in Para State Brazil), is estimated to be between 900 and 1000 years old. The tribal people of the Amazon tell that Sumauma is a link between humans and the divine. The legend also tells of Curupira – a dark forest spirit who protects the forest and resides near Sumama trees. Curupira takes on the form of a little boy and if one is not prepared – or has bad intentions – Curupira uses his backward feet to make footprints that lead back to its starting point thus confusing its victims. Curupira will prey on people who take more than they need from the forest, namely hunters, poachers and developers.
Sadly Curupira can only do so much; the forerunners of the dairy and beef industry are systematically cutting these beautiful giants, often illegally or 'accidentally', make space for cattle to graze.
The oldest…
The current age record for an individual tree is held by the great bristlecone pine (Pinus Longaeva), located in Nevada USA. At a staggering 5062 years old, it is the oldest non clonal tree on earth. The leaves of this tree show the longest persistence of any plant – some staying bright green for up to 45 years.
However, clonal trees can survive far, far longer…
A clonal tree is a group of genetically identical trees which originate from a common ancestor. Colonies of clonal trees are built from wide ranging roots which constantly send up new shoots. Similarly, some vines and species of trees, such as the Banyan, have branched tendrils which plunge down into the soil forming new trunks and root systems. This allows them to spread and proliferate long after their predecessors have died out.
Old Tjikko – Sweden
Carbon dated at 9,558 years old, Tjikko, is one of the oldest clonal trees in the world. Old Tjikko is a Norway spruce tree which has survived for so long because it has been able to clone itself, regenerating new trunks, branches and roots again and again. As the single last survivor of its colony, Old Tjikko is the third oldest tree on the planet.
Pando, The Trembling Giant – Utah, USA
Officially the oldest clonal tree on earth, this group of 47,000 aspen trees steal the show with a stupendous 80,000 years of age. It is believed that Pando is dying due to drought and disease, although efforts are being made to save it. Pando covers 106 acres of forest and weighs in at 6000 metric tons (6 million kilograms) which would make it the largest and heaviest organism in the world if it weren't for this tasty fungus, which is 3.8 kilometres across… Sorry Pando.
Angel Oak – South Carolina, USA
Not much needs to be said about this one, the Angel Oak, it's just stunning. The Angel Oak spreads so wide that it's shade covers an area of 1,600 square metres and the longest length of its branches, from tip to tip, is 57 metres.
We hope you enjoyed the list and please get in touch and help us to add to it!

Windows 10 Review
The new Windows, on the market as a free upgrade for existing Windows seven and Windows eight non-corporate users, is constructed from the bottom up to pursue Microsoft's vision of a unified OS that spans all devices while not antagonistic to anyone platform. It's an endeavor to safeguard Microsoft's crumbling code form of government, assailed on all sides by Google and Apple. And it is a vision of the longer term as Microsoft sees it, wherever one user expertise spans each piece of technology. Welcome to Windows as a service.
Yes, this new OS is chockablock of new options. to call simply a few: a lean, quick internet explorer replacement referred to as Edge; Microsoft's Siri-like voice-controlled virtual assistant, Cortana; and therefore the ability to stream period games to your desktop from associate Xbox One in another area. (And just in case you are wondering: there's no "Windows 9" — Microsoft skipped it, going straight from eight to ten.)
But Windows 10 is additionally the tip of a protracted, awkward road that began with the discharge of Windows eight in 2012, once Microsoft tried to win over a world of keyboard and mouse wielders that touchscreens were the future. Ironically, in 2015, the laptop hardware for that touchscreen future is currently here — everything from 2-in-1s like the Lenovo Yoga line to convertible tablets with detachable keyboards, like Microsoft's own Surface. And Windows ten swimmingly lets users transition from "tablet" to "PC" mode on such devices like never before.
For the remainder of the laptop universe — together with people who still like smart old school keyboard and mouse navigation — Windows ten could be a welcome come back. The start menu, inexplicably yanked from eight, is back and dealing the method you expect it to. Those live tiles from the Windows eight home screen still exist, however they have been connected to the start menu, wherever they create plenty additional sense. and therefore the devilishly hidden Charms bar has been morphed into the additional easy (and easier to find) Action Center.
As always, there ar some quibbles and gripes with the product, however all-in-all — once living with Windows ten for months — I will say it is a winner. It's versatile, flexible and customizable. And it has been battle-tested by a military of beta testers for the higher a part of a year, creating it one in all the foremost strong OS rollouts in recent memory.
The Start menu in Windows ten is admission that Windows eight perhaps are a little too forward thinking. However Microsoft hasn't abandoned that vision of unifying all manner of devices underneath one operating system.
To start, there isn't any divide between the Windows 8-style "Modern" apps you get from the Windows app store, and people you put in the old school method. Everything exists as a conventional windowed app, sharing area on the desktop. If you are on a two-in-one device like Microsoft's Surface professional three, pop the keyboard off and Windows ten can switch to tablet mode. The start menu and your apps can stretch to take up the whole screen, and every one of the miscellaneous apps and shortcuts on your taskbar can disappear, to provide your finger fewer obstacles to hit.
Virtual desktops are not a brand new development, and they have been on the market in past versions of Windows due to third-party apps. However it's nice to check Microsoft catching up over here. The feature might still use some work: desktops are numbered, however if you produce plenty of them it is difficult to stay track of wherever everything is.
You can move apps across virtual desktops — simply drag them, or right-click to shunt them over — however there isn't any thanks to reorder the virtual desktops themselves, which might be extremely helpful for staying organized. I would additionally wish to be able to set a unique wallpaper for each virtual desktop — I can do each of these things in Apple's OSX OS, and have invariably found it extremely handy.
Windows ten has finally arrived, however this version of Windows is basically totally different from any that have preceded it. It'll actually be available on all OS's, an inspiration Microsoft are pushing with Windows ten Mobile, and Universal Apps. We've been here before: apps developed for Windows eight and Windows Phone eight might share a lot of of their code, that was purported to build it simple to make one app that ran everyplace.
Universal apps can cause their own challenges, as developers can got to hard making many, strong apps that may run on a mobile device, against developing apps which will build use of all of the ability a full laptop can bring around. Microsoft is already drafting the future. Microsoft has incontestable time for phones: plug a Windows Phone into a pc, and therefore the interface can in some unspecified time in the future morph to mimic the PC-based version of Windows. You will see the desktop, desktop-versions of Windows Store apps, and acquire full mouse and keyboard support. There isn't any word on availability, or what devices it's going to run on, however it offers a tantalizing glimpse of what Microsoft has for us in the future.
If you are running Windows seven or Windows eight you've got very little to lose, and quite bit to achieve, by doing the jump to Windows ten. If you are still on Windows XP, you've most likely got your reasons. However Windows ten marks the primary steps in a very future transition from OS to service, a wild dream that gets somewhat less crazy when I raise my laptop, or pop the keyboard of my laptop computer to get some reading done. This is Microsoft's second try at Windows 8 and this time they are getting it right.

You've been granted magical engineering skills, but you can only use them to build one gadget or machine. What do you build?
*Magical Engineering Skills!* I want to add dreamy eyes to these words. If I had such superhero like power. Yeah, I am guilty of thinking of programmers as people with magical powers. I just hope they keep using it to build amazing stuffs, and if you are running out of ideas, please feel free to get in touch with me.
So, coming back to, what I would do, if I had the skills and by skills, I'm making an assumption that, I have all the skills required.
For this post, I am a programmer, a designer an electronic engineer, a craftsman, in short a master of all trades.
(Being an economics student, I have this weird urge to clearly specify the assumptions I make.)
Presenting to you the iFooder
How it works:
•When you touch your favourite food, it records the exact taste of it, and you can save it, with its name.
•When you feel like eating the same dish you can just touch your lips to the tip of the device and it will align your senses, making you believe you actually ate the dish.
It gives you the taste without adding the calories, in your body! Not worrying that you need to run harder just because of the extra cheese burger you just had? What else could you freaking ask for?
It lets you have the taste of whatever you want, whenever you want without paying for it! Come on, you have to agree this is the best thing that has ever happened to the humankind.
$1999 only!
Can it be any cheaper?! I don't think so.
As for the name, I am assuming, Apple is going to love this product so much, that it would let me use the 'i', for free.
(Again assumption is something I am deeply fond of)
I am creating an impression of a total foodie with back to back posts on food!
If you liked this, I'm sure you will like my Valentine's day post too!

We Have a Winner!
Congratulations to Laurie from The Nonny Mouse, who won the Amazon.com gift certificate from the contest in the inaugural* post! I used a random number generator as promised, so as not to be accused of trying to distract her and steal Nathan Fillion right out from under her while she was busy choosing something on which to spend the certificate. However, if NF had actually been under her at the time, I'd have done the honorable thing.
There will be more contests, so please be sure to check back! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Dr. Horrible several more times before it disappears at midnight.
*At the new site, that is.

Condoleezza Rice on the Iraqi 'threat'
May 9, 2007 3 comments
The word "imminent", as we all know, comes from the Latin imminere: to project or lean over, overhang, be near. The English word is defined by the OED thus:
1. Of an event, etc. (almost always of evil or danger): Impending threateningly, hanging over one's head; ready to befall or overtake one; close at hand in its incidence; coming on shortly.
So does Hamlet, on seeing the army of Fortinbras yomp impressively past, muse (at least in Q2):
How stand I then,
That have a father kill'd, a mother stain'd,
Excitements of my reason and my blood,
And let all sleep, while to my shame I see
The imminent death of twenty thousand men
That for a fantasy and trick of fame
Go to their graves like beds […]
So too in 2 Henry VI does Salisbury thank Richard: "three times today / You have defended me from imminent death". Well, this is clear. We all know what "imminent" means, right?
Wrong! It falls to Condoleezza Rice to correct centuries of misunderstanding by idiots like Shakespeare. Asked repeatedly by George Stephanopoulos last week ((Thanks to Jason.)) whether Iraq was, after all, an "imminent threat" to the US in early 2003, Rice finally responded:
George, ((Note the virtuosically condescending use of the interviewer's first name, as though patiently explaining a definition to a schoolchild. Nice.)) the question of imminence isn't whether or not somebody is going to strike tomorrow. It's whether you believe you're in a stronger position today to deal with a threat or whether you're going to be in a stronger position tomorrow.
Salisbury and Hamlet must be kicking themselves. Obviously, to call something "imminent" makes no claim about how soon the thing itself will arrive. Actually, it makes no claim about the thing itself at all. Instead it is redefined as a claim about "you". How "strong" do you feel today? Well, that's somehow proportional to how "imminent" the thing is, whatever the hell it is. ((So on this argument, Hamlet's feeling self-pityingly wimpy after getting a sniff of Fortinbras's martial testosterone means that the soldiers' deaths are not in fact imminent. Which, after all, they're not! Maybe there's something to this after all.)) In fact, the "imminent" thing doesn't even need to exist to be imminent. ("We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.") Is it admissible to point out that, even on Condoleezza Rice's unilateral redefinition of the word, global warming counts as an "imminent threat"?
But here ride the indefatigable lexicographers of the OED to the rescue once again. For, shaking their heads donnishly at the foolishness of the world, they note sadly at definition 4 for "imminent" that it is sometimes:
Confused with immanent.
Perhaps now we are getting somewhere. The primary sense of "immanent" given by OED is "Indwelling, inherent; actually present or abiding in; remaining within". So if Iraq was an "immanent threat", the threat was presumably strictly limited to its own borders. On the other hand, you might suppose an "immanent threat" to be a threat spread evenly throughout the entire universe, like some God. How to choose between such very different implications? Luckily, there is another sense of "immanent", from the Scholastic idea of an "immanent act":
2. immanent act (action): an act which is performed entirely within the mind of the subject, and produces no external effect.
I think it most likely that the research theologians of the White House intended to evoke this idea. Brilliantly, they thus openly insisted that Saddam's "threat" was nothing but a kind of mental construct, performed entirely within the minds of Rice and her chums, and nowhere in reality. Government spokespersons were desperately trying to confess this all along, crying for help by shrieking: "Look, this is all just in our heads! It's an immanent threat!", but a vast leftwing conspiracy of journalists kept deliberately mistranscribing "immanent" as "imminent", causing an unwitting public to suppose that the politicians were constructing an unwarranted fantasy about incipient catastrophe. And thus a great deal of undeserved scorn was heaped upon the Bush administration. I only hope it is not too late to correct this egregious error.

A man was left with blood pouring from his injuries after he was chased from a hostel and attacked in the street, Lincoln Crown Court was told today (Monday).
Byron Howson had only just arrived at the premises in Red Lion Street, Boston, when he became involved in an altercation with Ricky Aylesbury.
Jonathan Dunn, prosecuting, said a scuffle took place in the hostel which was broken up by staff.
Afterwards Mr Howson left the building only to return moments later.
Then a further confrontation took place between the two men which spilled out into the street.
This time Mr Howson picked up a brick but was chased by Aylesbury who was armed with a crate.
Aylesbury quickly caught up with Mr Howson and went on to carry out a sustained attack striking his victim 15 or 16 times with the crate.
Mr Howson was left bleeding heavily from his injuries and later needed a number of stitches.
Aylesbury, 28, of Union Street, Boston, admitted assault occasioning actal bodily harm arising from the incident on 31 July 2015. He was jailed for 12 months.
Judge Michael Heath, passing sentence, told Aylesbury "It was a sustained assault and you used a weapon."
Andrea Clarke, defending, said that Aylesbury had been remanded in custody since his arrest and had used his time productively completing coursea in maths, English and business studies.
She added "He has had a significant change of circumstances. His partner has given birth and he is now the father of three week old daughter.
"He intends on getting employment on his release. He had been working as a gardener."
