Acorn Archimedes, and how its almost impossible to emulate
thanks to the efforts of the diehard Archimedes community and their "We Hate You" stance on simple, easy emulation procedures.
I was willing to try out two new Archimedes emulators called Arculator and RPCEmu, and realised I needed to find the appropriate BIOS rom images first. Now while Google tends to locate most other general BIOSes a lot easier, Acorn ones seem to be like the Holy Grail. I absolutely cannot for the life of me find them. No torrent sites have them. P2P can't help me. And none of the rom collection burners even support Archimedes stuff full stop, it appears. And it seems that the Acorn zealots are even more deluded about the machine's commercial status than the Amiga ones. Seriously.
They'll most likely redirect you to a product called Virtual Acorn - £79 minimum to emulate an Acorn on your Windows, with no clear indication as to what emulator will be used, or what BIOS images will be included, if they're not bloody encrypted or shit like that. I mean come on, Amiga Forever costs only half that roughly!
Anyways, after a good deal of patience, I managed to acquire a version of Virtual Acorn through BitTorrent. But it only includes RISC OS 4.0, which - surprise, surprise ladies and gentlemen - isn't supported by either of the emulators.
Why, why, just why the fuck bother to bring out good and interesting emulators if their authors and the rest of the community make it absolutely, hideously, bloody difficult to find the necessary BIOS files required to give them a whirl? Kickstart hunts were never this bad in comparison I tell ya! (And for the record I'm not stuck in the slightest on any Amiga-related emulation issues, cheers.)

Thx for info on these new emulators. they actually work quite well and my School favurate Chocks Away works great on Arculator . Much better then RedSquirrel and Archie emus.

Do a global seach with eMule. There seem to be bios rom files from several versions. I didn't download one and have no experience with the Archimedes, so I can't tell if they work.

The reason RiscOS rom files are so hard to find is that the OS still has commercial development & support ( unlike AmigaOS - regardless of what Amiga.inc may claim )
New RiscOS hardware is also still for sale + developed! Consequently RiscOS make more effort to protect their i.p.
Most people who emulate RiscOS still have native hardware so thay have access to their own Roms. Also piracy has never been as much of an issue on that platform. Both factors have made such files less widespread.
I would say as a rough rule of thumb there are two kinds of RIscOS machine - - and therefore emulation:
OS 3.1 & below: Ok for games & older apps. Though not free as such few care about 'sharing' of these roms, but they can be hard to find. One of the free emulators will do fine.
OS 3.5 & above: 'Modern' & officially supported hardware, so you will most likley have to pay the going rate for the roms... Virtual Acorn costs as much as it does becuause the author bundles RiscOS 4 ( or Select ) which costs him a significant licence fee.
The fact is that with RiscOS you are still in the same ball-park as Windows or OS-X. You can get hold of hooky copies but as there is a company actively developing + supporting the OS: if they catch you they may prosecute!
I hope this helps explain the reasons for some of the frustrations mentioned above. RiscOS is not ( yet ) a dead platform, so the i.p. is harder to find.

Well, the Risc CPU, ugly as it has become, is still alive in PDAs and the such. The OS software itself is the same as it ever was. Apps are scarce, but at least the hardware guys are still active (a bit), and some drivers still get developed. But all that is on the RiscPC side of things, but since it uses the 'Risc OS', as Archimedes did, those OSes are still commercial.
I would hardly call the Archimedes alive, and RiscPCs are used mostly by enthusiasts and some remain in schools in the UK I guess, running the same old programs. But though it's great to see hardware still being developed, it's a bit of a letdown on the software front.
I've emulated a bunch of games on the good old Archie (as well as run them on my Archimedes A3000) and few are as neat as all the Amiga games, it never took off as a games platform. In fact, most of them are terrible, with Elite and Zarch being the shining stars. (And Zarch really is fantastic on the A3000 - on faster machines it's unplayable unless you somehow degrade the speed.)
I have an A3000 because that was when the CPU still was beautiful, and it was another of the fantastic computers Acorn made, a great landmark when it came (just after the Amiga 1000!). Their BASIC really is the most intellectually appealing version of all BASICs ever written, with Acorn Atom BASIC as close second.
Certainly, the Archie/RiscPC scene is tiny, and it doesn't contain the great people of the Amiga scene collecting, hosting, researching, and developing the software that came out for it. And certainly not such busy forums as ours.
Redsquirrel is the best bet for emulating I think, if you want to do it for free. It does have limitations, though. But that's what I use, and it's worked well enough for me doing a small 'sprite snake' demo in assembler

Yes - it's odd:-
Though the parent company has long since gone ( like C= ) and the RiscOS scene has never been as wide-spread or as prolific with regard to software as AmigaOS, yet there remains current hardware + OS development where there has been none for years with Amiga.
( I don't count MorphOS or AOS4 as for all its merritts MOS is a side-branch & AOS4 seems to have been killed-off. )
Here's a somewhat off-topic question:
How is it that a tiny community like 'RiscOS' continues to develop the OS + Hardware + Software & yet for the Amiga - nothing, but for what the remaining enthusiasts write?
( MacroSystems managed to produce the Draco in '94 so clones are doable )

I hope it's allowed to post links to auction sites here. If not, moderators please scrub this post. There is currently one box up for auction on "ePay" http://cgi.ebay.com/ACORN-ARCHIMEDES...QQcmdZViewItem
Good chance to buy one as those computers are usually cheap. Disadvantage of that auction: no mouse included. The Acorn needs a dedicated mouse as the protocol is different, so Amiga and Atari ones won't work.

Conqueror was another Archie game that came out. It was actually a more powerful machine than the Amiga but as someone else said, it didnt have hardly any games for it.

The hardware is much easier to clone than real Amiga hardware, being much less complex to redevelop. The Draco, whatever its good points, wasn't cheap, and didn't even attempt to reproduce the custom chips. Furthermore, Acorn had effectively left the desktop market, focusing on STB type devices, but made it relatively easy to license their technology, so clones were a viable proposition at a time when the Acorn market was still relatively active.
In the Amiga world meanwhile, it would have been virtually impossible to get a license for anything, C= wouldn't have gone down that route while they were alive, and the subsequent bankruptcy procedures of themselves and Escom left anyone wanting to produce a clone with nowhere to go to get licenses for the essential stuff. Even when Gateway and Amiga inc. took over the reins, actually getting hold of the tech was near impossible, the companies had grand plans that could not be interfered with by people going off and making their own stuff. Not to mention the incompetence involved, Mick Tinker and Nate Downes were both foiled in their plans to produce replacement motherboards by being unable to obtain the AGA designs, or even chip masks to produce a licensed run of chips in the case of the latter, apparently not because gateway/amiga didn't want to license them, but because they couldn't find them.
The Acorn world apparently isn't all that rosy anyway, Castle technology purchased their own RiscOS license from Pace (Who bought element 14) and produced RiscOS 5 for their RiscPC clones, leading to two different branches of RiscOS in active development, though an agreement has apparently been reached to merge them back into one. It did however cause something of a rift, not unlike the AmigaOS/MorphOS split, the difference being, that the people actually in charge seem driven to get stuff done instead of talking about it.
As far as the future for Amiga is concerned, my money (If I had any ) would go to getting AROS running on 68k, and then to building an application base for it. If the coldfusion project reaches fruition, the possibility of a combination of a board containing a coldfire CPU and an FPGA carrying the Minimig's core logic, running a coldfire native AROS is a tantalising one, and far more Amiga-like than a slightly modified PPC reference board.

Secret Vampire:
Thanks for the reply - much as I understood too. Having always been a RiscOS fan & only fairly recently interested in things 'Amiga' I may have a somewhat warped view compared to most:-
I have little interest in the Amiga chipset beyond it can be emulated... The OS is the thing for me, hence my example of the Draco rather than a full chipset clone.
( Yes I've tended to think of RiscOS 5 as a kind of MorphOS - happily for that community to 'two camps' are on friendly terms )
I'm keeping a close eye on AROS too. It has the potential for producing a future path for both the classic system & 'higher-end' users while keeping both groups closely related.

My two pence worth!
I currently have an A3000 and three A3020's but not one mouse! I have also tried several emulators but I can find no way of transfering the OS from the Archimedes to the PC without an Archimedes mouse. All the Acorn machines have hard disks full of software but I can only use them in tex mode or BBC Basic.
If anyone knows where I can get a mouse for the Acorns, I would be very grateful.
Maybe someone knows if I can make the cursor keys move the mouse pointer or knows the pinout and protocol of the Archimedes mouse so that I could find some other way of emulating it.
Thank you in advance.

Be careful with posting links (especially if they are easy to find anyway). As the roms are still under copyright, chances are higher now that the referred site is being admonished, and the ressource lost for the community.

I could never find a good transfer util ( pref one that would allow a RiacOS hdd plugged into a PC & read under 'doze )
The very frustrating way I did it was to transfer the hdd contents via adfs floppy to the emulated RiscPC. ( VirtualRPC & I think RedSquirel will read native floppies )
The lack of a mouse makes life tricky but don't forget RiscOS is a command-line based OS & the 'WIMP' is just a front-end.
Everything you can do under the desktop has an equivalent in the command line.
Press F12 to get there & if in doubt type: Help ( or H. ) followed by the command you want the syntax for...
The RiscOS command line makes perfect sence but is not much like that on any other computer so you may need to do a bit of head-scratching in conjunction with a manual.
'hope this helps.
Wellcome to the EAB

@Secret Vampire
I'm a "bit" surprised that you wrote such a long post about Acorn, but not even *mentioned* the BBC Micro and Electron machines. These are from Acorn too, that is ...
In Germany, the latter two had absolutely no relevance, but in UK and the rest of the world they obviously had ...

Never saw any of those machines again after coming back home to Finland from the UK.
Edit: A quick google hints that they were also popular in the Netherlands..

Well here's my 2 bits. I have not found Archimedes a worthy gaming platform. I mean, there are very few games commercially produced for it, and although there are great games, such as Lemmings and Zarch and some more, besides thee games, nothing stands out. I do, however, like the OS, I like the simplicity of the interface and it's clean desktop.

Police in the US have released body-camera video of an officer who pepper-sprayed a 15-year-old girl for refusing to put her feet inside the police car.
The video was released in response to a bystander's video of the same incident being released and shared via a social media post by the girl's lawyer, NBC reports.
"This little girl, 5 ft (152cm). 105 lbs (47kg), was brutalised by Hagerstown police after, she, on her bike, was hit by a car, but refused medical treatment," her lawyer wrote on Facebook.
"They slammed her against a wall, arrested her for refusing treatment, maced her four times in the police car while handcuffed, and took her to the police station instead of the hospital!"
The body-cam shows the driver of the car telling officers "she didn't want to stay. We almost had to force her to keep her here".
It shows officers trying to handcuff the girl after she tries to leave, refusing medical treatment and refusing to answer questions or give her name.
As officers handcuff her she struggles and screams, telling officers to "get off me" and that she wants to leave, while also yelling out to the officer that she won't give her name or her parents' name because she would get into trouble.
Once handcuffed the girl again is seen trying to leave the scene and kicks an officer, at which point the body-cam footage is lost.
In footage from another officer's body-cam, the girl is seen to be carried by the shoulders and knees into the back of a police car.
Officers are heard repeatedly telling her to "calm down" and put her feet inside the car.
One officer is heard saying: "If you help me I can help you".
"I'm telling my dad," she screams back to the officer.
"You can tell your dad. We will go up and tell your dad together."
After the girl continues to resist, an officer is heard to say: "put your feet in or you're getting sprayed". Another officer is then seen to use the pepper spray, and with the girl's feet in the car, the car door is able to be closed.
The girl then screams and yells, "I can't breathe" and thrashes in the back of the car and an officer is heard telling
The Maryland police department posted the body-cam to Facebook with the statement: "Our officers act and react in the interest of public safety in the midst of many difficult situations on a regular basis. We wanted to share this perspective with you to provide a better understanding of the full incident."
The girl, her mother and lawyer later addressed Maryland media, relaying the events.
The mother said she was told by police when she had gone to collect the girl, that she was not allowed to see her daughter, and that she would be held by police "for as long as it took for her to answer our questions".
She said she thought her daughter had "been confused … and just wanted Mum, wanted to go home and, you know, be where she felt safe".
"I don't feel that the officers handled it properly," she said.
"You don't take a 15-year-old child that has just been hit by a car and slam her up against a window sill; you don't take a 15-year-old child and put them in hand cuffs and shut a door and mace them four times."

SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment respond to rumors of Psy and YoonA's secret affair
Posted: 05 Nov 2012 03:47 AM PST
Girls' Generation's YoonA and Psy were just recently swept up in absurd rumors regarding the two's secret affair.
One Chinese media outlet falsely reported, "Korean singer Psy had an affair with YoonA six months before the release of 'Gangnam Style'.
The media outlet stated, "Psy attended a party held in celebration of preparation for another singer's album. YoonA was sitting in the corner but as soon as Psy livened up the mood, she developed a favorable impression [of him]."
The article continued, "Psy's wife knew of the affair but kept quiet because she did not want to destroy their family. When YoonA was asked about Psy during the Vivian Westwood fashion show held on the 2nd, she did not give an answer."
On the 5th, in response to the news SM Entertainment stated, "These are nonsensical reports to which it is not worth responding to. We think it is quite regretful to hear." YG Entertainment responded similarly saying, "The information is absurd. We are astonished."
Currently, the article is quickly spreading through other media outlets and social network sites. However, local Chinese residents who have come across the article are just as shocked at the unreliable information, and are criticizing the original media outlet responsible for reporting the false rumor.

"Amazing walk and now I feel like a mini Indiana Jones" Megan Jones
The idea for the Hydrangea display was devised by Jane Burnett, the wife of Trebah's director. Jane said: "The idea came to me whilst lying on a beach this summer in Greece. I suddenly thought, our Hydrangeas are one of the most popular and favourite areas of the garden during the summer months, but the autumnal colour they provide, can be even more fantastic. It is great to now see this translated into a natural backdrop for our annual winter and festive decoration of our Visitor Centre".
Special thanks goes to Jane, Nicola Wharton, Trebah's Garden Archivist and Jan, a member of the Garden Volunteer Team.
Many of the Hydrangeas in the valley at Trebah, were planted in the 1950's and therefore are upto 60 years old. The most recognisable and prolific variety of Hydrangea and the one that has been harvested for this display, is the Mophead (Hydrangea Macrophylla). This variety is the most common Hydrangea, often seen growing in people's gardens, parks and roadsides and is invariably either pink or blue in colour. At Trebah, we also have a host of other varieties that have been planted and grown over the years. These include; Lacecap Hydrangeas, Hydrangea 'Zorro' (this variety has black stems and presumably is named after the darkly clothed Spanish-masked hero) and a more recently named variety, Hydrangea 'Trebah Silver'.

Our Equipment
The On Site Studio
This is a Vauxhaul High Top Movano van chosen because of its full height sliding side door and full height rear doors. On the exterior there is an awning which can be fitted with side panels providing shelter from the wind and rain. Within the Studio is a network of six computers and printers allowing customers to browse the photos whilst we are printing. These have recently been upgraded to provide for faster browsing and printing. At larger events we add computers outside the van to allow more customers to browse.
We use the very best Digital Single Lens Reflex camera and lenses available. This includes two EOS 7D - a 19mega pixel camera and Canon Professional "L" series lenses. Our images are always recorded at maximum resolution which means the natural size of the photo if printed full size would be 69 inches by 46 inches. This means we can crop severly (digitally zoom) and not lose quality when printing A3 or A4.
We use two Epson R2400's and an Epson R2880 which gives Roll and cut sheet feed and has won numerous awards for its quality. This is an upgrade from the Canon I9950 and HP9180 we used in 2006. The Epson uses pigmented inks which are longer lasting and water resistant.

The 5-Step Approach To A Successful Job Search
For most people, landing a great job doesn't just happen overnight. You have to work at it – you have to be patient, but proactive.
Related: 3 Sneaky Ways To Research A Company
However, there are ways you can speed up the process. It's time to get more efficient with your job search efforts!
Here's my 5-step approach to a successful job search:
1. Determine your goals & priorities.
What do you want to achieve in your life AND career? What kinds of jobs will allow you to achieve those goals?
2. Analyze your options.
Research companies of interest and create a company bucket list. What companies can you see yourself working for?
Once you've created your company bucket list, set up informational interviews with employees from those companies to learn more about the culture, hiring process, and anything else you're curious about.
Also, do a little research on salary. Would you need to take a pay cut if you were to take a job at your dream company?
Once you gather those numbers, determine your "walk away rate." What is the absolute lowest amount of money you're willing to accept without having to eat Ramen noodles every day? If the company can't at least offer you that number, then you know it's not worth pursuing.
3. Recognize your strengths.
Determine the problem you solve. We're all fixers – what do YOU fix? Make a list of your previous accomplishments, hard and soft skills, and unique selling points (what do you offer that other candidates can't?)
Highlight your strengths – If you've worked at the same company for 15 years, showcase your longevity at the company, emphasize your extensive experience/skills in the area you worked in.
4. Establish your brand.
Now that you know what you want and what you offer, it's time to brand yourself. Remember, everyone has a brand, but it's up to you on how much you want to control it (brand or BE branded!).
Here are some things you can do to establish a bomb-ass brand:
- Create a unique branding statement that showcases your unique selling points.
- Update your job search materials (resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, etc) with appropriate content and keywords.
- Build an online brand (update social media profiles regularly, create an industry-specific blog, etc).
5. Demonstrate your value.
Show employers that you'll be a valuable asset to the company, don't just tell them.
You can do this by…
- Sharing accomplishment stories
- Quantifying your accomplishments
- Demonstrating how you can solve their problem
- Showing enthusiasm for both the job AND the company
Make sure you figure out the "pain points" of the company and show them how you can alleviate those problems. What do you bring to the table that other candidates can't?
(Also, show them you're worth their time by respecting their time, sending thank you notes, and following up!)
What works for you? Tweet me at @AriellaCoombs and let me know!

A pair of season opening basketball games are scheduled for tonight at Keota High School. The Eagles girls' and boys' basketball teams will begin their season in front of their home fans as they welcome the Lone Tree Lions to town for a non-conference double header.
The Keota girls' basketball season was originally scheduled to commence on November 21 against the Highland Huskies in rural Riverside. However, a snow storm brought several inches of powder to the area, postponing the game to December 21. Tonight's game marks the beginning of the Jeff Sprouse era, who took over the Eagles girls' basketball program in the offseason from Jenny Hobbs. Sprouse will be in charge of leading a team who is replacing seven seniors, including its top four leading scorers.
The Lone Tree Lions girls' basketball team already has two games under their belt, winning their season opener versus the Danville Bears before falling the next day in their conference opener against the Pekin Panthers.
The Keota Eagles boys' basketball team brings back several players who played key roles in last year's 12-10 campaign. Senior Zach Mousel returns as the team's leading scorer, recording 13.5 points per game last season. Junior Jacob Wickencamp grabbed down 100 rebounds last season, most of any returning Eagle player. The Eagles will have to fill the hole left by Nate Owen, a first team all-conference performer who led the squad in points, rebounds, and assists.
The Lone Tree Lions have significant holes to fill off last season's 19-5 year. The Lions lost five of their top six scorers to graduation, all of whom scored more than 50 points for the team. Junior Jovonte Squires returns as Lone Tree's leading scorer, averaging 13.3 points a contest a season ago. Junior Michael Schmidt recorded the most rebounds of any returning Lions player, securing 77 possessions for Lone Tree last season.
It's a pair of season openers tonight in Keota as the Eagles basketball teams play host to the Lone Tree Lions. Tip of the varsity girls game is scheduled for 6 p.m. with the boys' to follow at the Eagles Nest in Keota.

Anita Desai's 'In Custody', talks about the dying culture of Urdu Poetry in India, amidst rampant commercialization and modernization, is set an image of the tree dying, having been separated from its roots. What we have, almost as an initial no man's land of sorts and eventually becoming a middle ground, between reality and illusion, between desires and responsibilities, between the identity the world gives and the identity we make, is what that represents how we have lost touch of the beauty of the language, a language which was once a marker of sophistication and respect, now left as a victim of communalism and politics.
Deven, the protagonist of the story, who is a 'Hindi' professor in the small town of Mirpore, has always been a two cigarette man, even after having been married to Sarla, and having a son, whom he named 'Manu'. He lives an existence limited to himself, a man crushed by the ideals of the world he lives in, has let go of the dreams he used to have. He, although a Hindi Professor, admires the Urdu language, as the one in which he deliberates and gives language to his thoughts. But a glimmer of hope comes, a path of transcendence, an escape from the reality he unwillingly inhabits, when he gets the chance to interview India's greatest living Urdu poet, Nur Shahjahanabad, his idol. We all have pre-conceived notions, about the people we idealize, don't we? So did Deven, but he's shattered to see that the man whom he thought the world of, is actually another victim of the realities he is to live. The serenity with which Deven had been associating Nur, for so long, is broken, like shattered pieces of glass, when he actually sees the condition of the man he thought of, as the god. Nevertheless, Deven tries to do whatever he can, provided the circumstances, but would he be able to manage, recording Nur's voice and verses, for the generations to come, to listen and savor, or not, is the question that remains. Although, in the course of events, what happens is that Deven and Nur, form a very unlikely friendship, a relationship based on an alliance of sorts. While Deven aspires to become the Custodian of Nur's genius, a task that finally gives him a sense of purpose, but he ends up putting in Nur's custody, that realm of his identity, that realm of his existence, that he's always wanted to actualize. Desai, portrays the development of Deven's character, with sheer brilliance and erudition, making him one of her most actualized characters of all times, as many critics have argued.
One of the central themes in the book, apart from Commercialization and Consumerism, is the absolutely real portrayal of the female characters, whether it is Sarla, or both of Nur's wives, Imtiaz (Younger) or Safia ( Older), all three of them try to break away from the shackles of patriarchy, encroaching post-colonial India, in their own ways. But the most successful of them, considering the formidable extent of success, is Imitiaz Begum, rude, real, and the one that actually questions Deven's existence as a man, keeping aside the fact that Deven himself keeps questioning the validity of his existence, not so much as a man, but more as a human being. The letter Imtiaz writes to Deven, actually acts as a mirror, that reflects the reader, how actually patriarchy operates, the kind of privileges it provides to men, and how threatening do they find it, when a woman claims her own spaces and independence in those spaces. While Safia, the opportunist, breaks away from the misogynist bondage, by extorting money out of Deven's helplessness, Sarla, his wife, emboldens herself, although to a very minimal range, in the periphery of her house.
The world of fiction that Desai constructs is separated from the world of actuality, by a very thin line, representing the dying face of tradition at the hands of modernity. In 233 pages, she manages to capture the complexity and the opportunistic nature of human relationships, our efforts to transcend and transgress, both, from reality and the bitterness of it, forming a bubble of illusion around ourselves, until that is broken and then we grow, we grow to become who we are. Sometimes, people are actually able to find as well actualize this middle ground between reality and illusion, although that is a rarity.

The exploitation of the family
A woman dubbed the "nightmare nanny" in U.S. media after she refused to move out of the house of a California family she was working for has said she was being exploited.
Speaking out publicly for the first time, Diane Stretton, 64, told Los Angeles radio station KNX 1070 and television station KTLA in interviews on Monday that she was forced to work for days on end without breaks looking after Ralph and Marcella Bracamonte's three children,
office furniture
and quit before she was fired.
"They were the ones that were trying to exploit me as if I was some poor migrant worker from a foreign country that they could just exploit and work 24/7," Stretton told KNX.
The Bracamontes have said they hired Stretton in March to watch their children and do chores for room and board in their Upland home but that she stopped working within weeks.
They say the nanny told them she had chronic pulmonary disease, ignored repeated requests to leave and made them scared for their property and the safety of their children

, ages 11, 4 and 1. Stretton said she was doing her job.
"There wasn't a single day I was there except for the two days I was sick that I didn't do dishes or about two to three hours of cleanup," she told KTLA.
She also told the station the family tried to feed her dog food and that Marcella Bracamonte had a temper.
The Bracamontes could not be reached for comment. But Ralph Bracamonte said on his Facebook page that Stretton's allegations were untrue.
"Like I've been saying, this woman loves to play chess,
nu skin hk
and I knew she would come up with something. It's just sad and really breaks my heart," he said.
Marcella Bracamonte told ABC News' "Good Morning America" the nanny had told the family's attorney she plans to leave by July 4, and California media have reported that Stretton appeared to now be living out of her car.
The family had earlier said the woman threatened to sue them for wrongful termination and elder abuse. Police declined to intervene in a civil matter
nuskin hk
, so the couple launched an eviction process, which they feared could take months.
Police say that once a person establishes residency they must be "formally evicted" under California law, a process that could lead to a court-ordered "forcible eviction" carried out by county sheriff's deputies.

Today's primary
Two fancy Republican incumbents —Sen. Lindsey Graham and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor — will almost certainly win their primaries against challenges from the right on Tuesday. But in a year where Tea Party-affiliated candidates are spending money like they have a shot at some of the "establishment," everyone's still keeping an eye on both races anyway
nuskin hk
Cantor hopes to emerge with a strong margin of victory in Virginia, as he normally does, from Tuesday's contest. And while the campaign hasn't made any statements indicating that they have some nerves going into today, it certainly looks like Cantor's people felt this year was a bit different. National Journal reports:
"Cantor has expended unusual effort (and funds) against a seemingly harmless opponent, going to the trouble of running negative TV ads and sending mailers defending his position on immigration legislation after [challenger Dave Brat] successfully directed the debate away from local jobs and toward a national issue
nuskin hk
Basically, his challenger has talked non-stop about Cantor's support for immigration reform as a bad thing (remember, Brat is to the right of the already conservative Cantor), and the strategy is working, kind of. Cantor's lead is much smaller than it was last time, according to most polling ahead of today's votes. But Cantor still has a majority of voters on his side. For some conservatives, that doesn't really matter: if Cantor's immigration stance makes the race closer, it's still kind of a victory. That was the implication of a National Review piece on Brat, noting that "there's no chance Cantor will do as well in Tuesday's vote as he did two years ago."
Sen. Graham, on the other hand, has six challengers from within the party for his South Carolina primary today. Under state rules, he needs 50 percent of the vote to win the primary without a run-off two weeks from now. Since none of his challengers have really materialized as the fulcrum of anti-Graham voters, he'll probably overcome whatever intra-party opposition he faces either now or two weeks from now (he'd obviously prefer the former to the latter). As NBC News reported in April, that's actually a big turn around from the perception (although not necessarily the reality) that Graham could be one of the most vulnerable GOP senators up for re-election this cycle

, because of his immigration reform support and his votes in favor of two Supreme Court justices nominated by Obama.
There are several other races to watch today, including the crowded Democratic primary for the blue seat of retiring Rep. Jim Moran, the GOP primary to determine who will challenge incumbent Rep. Steven Horsford of Nevada in November,

The deadly swine virus
Confirmed cases of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus increased by 296 in the week ended March 15, bringing the total number to 4,757, according to data released on Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN).
The U.S. and Canadian hog industries have recently developed partnerships to research what role, if any,

feed or feed ingredients have had in the transmission of PEDv, the National Pork Board said earlier this week. The report from USDA's NAHLN does not include test results from feed samples.
No new states reported cases leaving the affected states at 27, the group of animal researchers said.
While one case can represent an individual animal or an entire herd at a single site, hog industry analysts estimate PEDv has killed an estimated 5 million U.S. hogs since it was discovered in May 2013.
"Unfortunately it has spread rapidly this winter, especially here in Ohio," said Duane Stateler, Ohio Pork Council president and hog producer with a 7,200 head operation.
PEDv, which does not affect humans and is not a food safety risk,

causes diarrhea, vomiting and severe dehydration in pigs. While older pigs have a chance of survival, 80 to 100 percent of piglets that contract it die.
"The smaller the pig the harder it is for them to recover and come back," Stateler said.
The U.S. hog industry has grappled with tactics to contain the spread of the highly contagious pig virus using strict biosecurity measures as its main line of defense

The spread of the virus has already crimped market ready hog supply not only in the U.S. Midwest but also along the East Coast, forcing some pork packing plants to reduce slaughter operations.
There is talk in the hog industry of some Midwest pork packing facilities considering several operations of either cutting one day a week, trimming daily operating hours,
Combination House
or eliminating Saturdays and overtime in order to reduce total operating hours, hog dealers have said.
Last week, Smithfield Foods Inc. suspended hog slaughter on Friday at its Tar Heel, North Carolina, plant which has a slaughter capacity of 30,000 to 34,000 head as PEDv has tightened hog supplies, industry sources said.

Love Addiction
What Love Addiction Is
When one person's love for another becomes obsessive and is destructive to the relationship, it is considered love addiction. Oftentimes, a person suffering from love addiction exhibits a heightened focus on romantic relationships. As with many addictive conditions, love addiction is usually rooted in circumstances and issues from the addict's past and has little if anything to do with his or her current relationship. The love addict seeks the feeling of connection and validation from the relationship. The love addict may devote a disproportionate part of their lives to their chosen partner in an attempt to maintain those feelings. Love addicts may use sex in an effort to receive what they really crave: emotional intimacy and connection. A love addict will often mistake sex for love.
What Love Addiction Is Not
Contrary to how it may appear to those on the periphery, love addiction is not the healthy behavior of a caring person, nor is it healthy or pleasant for the person who is the focus of the obsessive attention. The sufferer's moods often become erratic and he or she can become withdrawn and sullen due to a lack of self-esteem.
Cititherapy Love Addiction Treatment
Often love addiction stems from a severe fear of abandonment, which is formed in childhood. The individual carries that fear into adulthood and so projects it onto every relationship, building up a fantasy of an ideal that goes beyond a healthy romantic attachment as the love addict allows that one relationship to define everything in their lives, neglecting him/herself and others. Cititherapy goes beyond a focus on the behaviors exhibited by the addict, treating the root causes of the addiction. Our therapists are uniquely trained and qualified to get to the very essence of what's driving the behavior and help the sufferer face and overcome issues that have been a source of suffering for many years.

The team departs Electric Blue with the wail of Security alert in the background. Maria ( The one-armed cyborg girl) comments, "is that because of you guys?" The party ignores the comment as they fly off in Dark Nova, Maria's ship. There is no pursue from the station and party begins their journey to Sirocco
Maria ask Marcus to accompany her to her cabinet, where she jumps his bones. Marcus is a little reluctant, and ask why. Maria answers, "To reveal any sexual tension between us." Jacob ( the guy with the knitted Kola hat) ask if any of the ladies were interested to talk in his compartment. No takers.
After a day of travel to the drill point, the ship sensors pick up a large ship. The ship is on a heading toward Gateway, closer observation the ship is Azimuth-class Research Ship (5,000 tons, Azimuth class vessels are mobile research platforms dedicated to breakthrough scientific study during the era of the Mandate. The vessel is drifting and appears to be intact, but doesn't respond to communication hails. The PCs' sensors give anomalous readings: the ship is there, yet not there.
There is a brief discussion on whether to board the craft or not, with Marcus and Maria being against, while Jacob and the rest of the party is for boarding the craft. As they are in the midst of the discussions, they are hailed by another craft, the Rabanza, a medium freighter, captained by the famous salvager, Captain Ram, experienced salvage claimer. He is wealthy and, within the salvage community, at least in his corner of the galaxy, he is famous. When local journalists need a quote about a salvage operation, they go to Ram.
Ram hails the party acknowledging their claim to the derelict, but offering his and his crew assistant in exploring the vessel. His crew consist of Gripper a security AI, Science officer Cherry ,Janan their linguist and Mortengal , a climber and cave diver. The Rabanza and Dark Nova perform a Lamprey Lock to match phases with the derelict.
They board the ship with the crew of the Rabanza, they find a tomb ship filled with skeletal remains. Exploring the craft they find plant-like aliens that have taken over the ship, Cherry uses some found incendiary grenades to fry the creator. They eventual find the captain quarter and discover his log and discover that the craft had a collision with another ship in deep drill, the collision cause a leak in the protective bubble that shield a ship from Metadimensional energy of deep drill. The leak caused the crew of the ship to go slowly insane.
The party finds the ship library and pull up the schematic in order to find how to shut the drill drive in order to return the ship into normal space. Making a beeline to the relay panel they encounter a creature that entraps the team, with only Marcus and Savannah avoiding being trapped. The creature manages to kill most of Rabanza's crew with exception of Mortengal, who was wearing a Titan Power armor that was found aboard the ship and Crystal revives them. Marcus and Mortengal continue on to the panel where they run into a humanoid creature with an octopus like head. After a fire fight that down Mortengal, Marcus, Savanna and Crystal kills the creature. Making their way back to the air lock they run into marines from Navy of Gateway that board when the ship return to normal space. They allow the team to keep all they manage to salvage but are taking the ship custody of Government of Gateway.
The Team continues to Sirroco with no issues. Once in orbit Jacob tell the team that he worked for the corporation that owns the down spaceship, and knows that he can locate it by pinging the probes that it carried. A starship arrives and challenge them saying that the downed ship belongs to them, Savanna loses them and lands on the surface 40 yards from the down research craft.
The Research craft was broken in half during the crash and they explore the front half of the ship that they landed near. They enter the ship and search for the data drives. After searching several cabinets and the bridge they locate the operation room where the data drives are stored. They are force to research the rooms to locate the drive removal tool. Marcus is slightly wounded when a vacuum closet explodes but they manage to remove the drive and leave the ship.
Upon existing the ship they run into a Knight of Black Satin and his mercs. He demands the drive and a fight ensues. Marcus is almost killed when struck with a beam from the Knight weapon, but uses his ability to escape harm from the attack. The team manages to down the knight which causes the mercs to flee. The party returns to the Dark Nova with the drive and Knight body.

Getting to know the elements of bedding sets
Having a cozy house is everyone's dream. To make it happen, buying bedding sets is necessary. Bedding sets will give you and your family comfort while sleeping, lying, or even cuddling. They can even warm you in cold weather, decorate your room, and even protect some furniture like beds. Those functions are coming from each element in bedding sets.
In general, bedding sets are built of several elements. They are comforters, duvet covers, trundle beds, toddler beds, air mattress, bedspread, bed skirt, coverlet, quilt, neck roll, fitted sheet, feather bed, mattress pad, throw pillow, sleeping pillow, and many others. Each of them carries a different function. Having all elements of bedding sets is not obligatory. Choosing some of them that could fit your house is the point. To check which of the bedding set elements that suit you, you should know the functions and description each. In details, these are the descriptions and functions each.
1. Comforter
Like its name, this element will comfort your body. With some cotton batting filling in, comforters are comforting. Even though it is not as fluffy and thick as a duvet, the comforter is perfectly matched with a bed skirt. Currently, people sell this product in sets namely comforter sets. Luckily, comforter sets not only brings comfort but also harmony. The same color or pattern on the fabric of comforter, bed skirt, and others is the same making the sets easy on the eyes.
2. Duvet
Almost similar to the comforter, the duvet is quilted layers with insulative materials such as wool, feather, polyester, silk, loading among the layers. The thickness of the materials will hug and console your body. It is laid over the bed or comforter and used like a blanket. Practically, the duvet is included in a cover. Duvet covers are alike with a pillowcase that is easily removed.

3. Beds
Bedding sets cannot go without beds. There are many types of beds throughout history. Viewed by the style, there are headboard beds, canopy bed, feather bed trundle bed, daybed, tv bed and others. Among those, the trundle bed is the type of bed which is multi-function since it has a secondary and push-able bed. Viewed by the user, beds belong to adult beds, teen beds, and toddler beds. Different users require different features in beds. As for example Toddler bed usually provides small gates to keep the toddler falling from the bed.
Beds usually consist of a mattress and frame base. To be practical sometimes, people sleep on a mattress without the base. That is why mattresses vary. There are waterbeds, foam mattress, a gel mattress, Air mattress, latex mattress, innerspring mattress. Of those, an air mattress is the most popular for its ability to adjust the softness.
4. Pillows
Being a rest spot especially for heads, pillows are quite ubiquitous in houses. Pillows can be in beds or chairs. They include a throw pillow, a sleeping pillow, decorative pillow, orthopedic pillow and many others. Pillows are mostly featured with covers. The covers can be in one set with other elements of bedding sets.

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), today sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump responding to Silicon Valley's recent suggestions that President-elect Trump "engage" Silicon Valley's tech elite for key government posts, while preserving many of the digital initiatives started by the Obama Administration.
Trump is holding a meeting with tech leaders next week. With the exception of billionaire Facebook board member and Trump supporter Peter Theil, it is unclear whether representatives of Facebook, Google, Twitter and other tech giants will be there.
In its letter, NLPC slams Silicon Valley's recommendations as a sure way to undercut Trump's commitment to "drain the swamp" of corporate lobbyists and DC powerbroker influence, while undermining his commitment to restoring American jobs and the economy.
The letter states that Silicon Valley initiatives like the Office of Science and Technology Policy, 18F and the U.S. Digital Service, which were created or expanded under Obama's leadership, … Read More ➡

This piece of writing presents clear idea in support of the new viewers of blogging, that in fact how to do blogging.
Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's tough to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!
Excellent web site you have got here.. It's difficult to find high-quality writing like yours these days. I seriously appreciate people like you! Take care!!
Hello i am kavin, its my first time to commenting anywhere, when i read this article i thought i could also create comment due to this good article.
Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I'll definitely be back.
Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
At this time it appears like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Article writing is also a excitement, if you know after that you can write otherwise it is complex to write.
My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
I read this piece of writing completely regarding the comparison of latest and previous technologies, it's amazing article.
Heya i'm for the first time here. I found this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and help others like you helped me.
I every time emailed this blog post page to all my friends, as if like to read it afterward my friends will too.
This website definitely has all of the information and facts I needed concerning this subject and didn't know who to ask.
First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
I was suggested this web site through my cousin. I am now not positive whether this publish is written by him as no one else recognise such specified approximately my problem. You're incredible! Thanks!
I don't know whether it's just me or if everyone else encountering issues with your blog. It appears as if some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my web browser because I've had this happen before. Many thanks
