June has been one of the busiest months of my life. Selling our old blog to starting this new one in a timely manner so that I could maintain the contracts I had has been a wild ride, to say the least. (Hence one of the reasons why I don't have evergreen content live YET.) Plus, we've been dealing with things on the homefront too.
I haven't been able to read hardly as many books as I typically do each month. However, I did get a chance to read a few good books that you can add to your to-read list. These books have been my wonderful little escapes from reality.
Books I've Read
Last First Kiss: A Brightwater Novel
A kiss is just the beginning…
Pinterest Perfect. Or so Annie Carson's life appears on her popular blog. Reality is … messier. Especially when it lands her back in one-cow town Brightwater, California, and back in the path of the gorgeous six-foot-four reason she left. Sawyer Kane may fill out those Wranglers, but she won't be distracted from her task. Annie just needs the summer to spruce up and sell her family's farm so she and her young son can start a new life in the big city. Simple, easy, perfect. tweet
Sawyer has always regretted letting the first girl he loved slip away. He won't make the same mistake twice, but can he convince beautiful, wary Annie to trust her heart again when she's been given every reason not to? And as a single kiss turns to so much more, can Annie give up her idea of perfect for a forever that's blissfully real? tweet
My Review
This was a sweet book to read. It was a story of true love finally making it happen despite the time apart. It is based in a small-town setting. It is filled with lots of funny moments that will warm your heart. You'll end up rooting for Annie all the way through this book.
Pretty Broken Girl: An Unconventional Love Story
Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you have to break the thing you love in order to put the pieces back together again. tweet
"Life is all about choices. Do I want pizza or a hamburger for dinner? Should I wear a red skirt or blue slacks to work? Do I take a million dollar check and divorce the love of my life to keep my baby brother out of jail? In case you're wondering, I took the check. Now my ex is back in my life. He's still angry and…he's my new boss." tweet
Pretty Broken Girl is the passionate retelling of a marriage gone wrong. tweet
From the boardroom to the bedroom, Dakota Atwell and Samuel Seaforth are locked in a battle of wits and desire. One of them will break. One of them will pay. Both of them want to win. Neither of them expects to fall in love…again. tweet
This is Book 1 of 5 in a series. It contains adult language, adult situations, and hot steamy sex with a HFN ending. Although it can be read as a standalone, it will be much more enjoyable when read with the other books in the series. tweet
Pretty Broken Girl – Book 1
Pretty Filthy Lies – Book 2
Pretty Dirty Secrets – Book 3
Pretty Wild Thing – Book 4
Pretty Broken Promises – Book 5 (Release Dec 2016) tweet
My Review
This series had me hooked from the very first book. RIGHT NOW, you can get the first book for FREE. However, I'm not going to lie to you I ended up buying all the rest of them just because I loved reading them so much! Warning: This is NOT a Christian romance series. However, the sexual scenes are pretty tame compared to some books I've read. I've read the first three books. I have bought the 4th and I'm eager for the 5th.
A Matter of Trust
My Review
This book truly captured me. I know what it's like to want to hide who you're related to because you don't want to be compared to them. I also under the desire to make my own way. This is one romance story that will keep you eager to find out what happens.
Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame
Shame is everywhere. tweet
Whether it's related to relationships, body image, work difficulties, or a secret sin, we all experience shame at some point in our lives. While shame can manifest itself in different ways—fear, regret, and anger—it ultimately points us to our most fundamental need as human beings: redemption. tweet
Shame never disappears in solitude, and Heather Davis Nelson invites us to not only be healed of our own shame but also be a part of healing for others. She shines the life-giving light of the gospel on the things that leave us feeling worthless and rejected, giving us courage us to walk out of shame's shadows and offering hope for our bondage to brokenness. Through the gospel, we discover the only real and lasting antidote to shame: exchanging our shame for the righteousness of Christ alongside others on this same journey.I wouldn't be me if I didn't read at least one self-help style book a month. tweet
My Review
I wouldn't be if I didn't read at least one self-help style book. I have experienced quite a bit of shame over my past decisions I've made. I live with it also due to the weight I've gained through the years.
I found this book to be enlightening and refreshing to read. I gained a lot from reading it. I feel a lot lighter than I have in a long time.
Disclosure: I did receive this book to review from FlyBy Promotions; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rob Kardashian is back in the dating game, and for once, it doesn't involve Blac Chyna. InTouch reports that the Kardashian brother is dating Mehgan James, a reality star who you may have seen on the show Bad Girls Club. Unsurprisingly, there's already some drama around their relationship. The outlet reports that the family doesn't approve of the match, and that some of the Kardashian clan are even refusing to meet James because of her notorious "out of control and volatile" nature.
While their relationship was just announced, like most courtships, it came together over time. In fact, James has the Instagram posts to prove it. Scroll back in the star's feed, and you'll see several hints that there was a new love in her life. She even went as far as to directly tag the Kardashian in her photos, especially those including Arthur George socks, Kardashian's sock company which James has been keen to promote.
Ahead are some of the sneakiest clues that the two were on their way to being a couple, all hiding in plain sight on Instagram.

One day on my way to the train I saw this guy practicing outside the TD Centre building in the late evening. I was floored with what he could do on his bike. I snapped a few pictures and stood around to watch. I was expecting security to run out and chase him away but oddly they were standing inside watching with the same amazed look I had on my face.

I don't understand how I've functioned "successfully" all my life. All the crazy is slipping out now. I dont' think I could have behaved any more insane or offensive today. And not the crazy is putting my job at risk. I hate myself right now. I just want out. I want to forget everything and run, but I know that will just make things worse. I wish I wasn't so obsessive. Most of this wouldn't have happened. I spent the day agonizing over stupid concert tickets. wtf is wrong with me? It shouldn't matter! who cares where I sit. I'm such a fucking lunatic. And I got sarcastic with a superior. It just slipped out and I didn't mean anything by it. I forgot who I was taking to :-(. And I was so verbally abusive to the Boy yesterday. I was just trying to tease him and I went way to far. I'd be surprised if he ever talks to me again. I don't know how to fix this.
I need to reset my personality. I need to remmebr basic social interactions and not be influence by the things and people around me. My personality is too tied to those I'm interacting with. I've been spending too much time with cynical people and it's rubbed off far too muc. So here are my new rules for life. I just hope I can follow them:
- work == WORK! not other life things.
- Be quiet
- Be nice
- Be positive
- Do what is best for you and not what you think others want. You cannot make everyone happy.
- Stop trying to be funny. It's just comes off as bitchy and obnoxious.
- You don't deserve anything.
I'd like this tattooed on my arm so I can remember it. I don't want to tape it to my desk, because anyone can see it. But I need to remember how to behave appropriately.

Bloodstone: The Journey Home is a third person role-playing total conversion of Valve's Half Life 2 - Episode One, using the Source engine. In this modification, Khrinz, a common farm boy is plunged into an unknown world of magic and deceit, on the brink of an unstoppable invasion by a technologically advanced race. Bloodstone - The Journey Home is being developed by the 3rd year project group "Greenhorn Production" of the "Computer and Video Games" course at the University of Salford, UK. Please check our our website (www.bloodstone-thejourneyhome.com) for more details about the game.
alot of work was put into this
Personally it is very out of the Half Life line, certainly not my style. Anyway, one elaborate work on the mod is appreciated.
Terrible models, movement mechanics, combat, and just overall gameplay. This seems like it could be a great game if it had a LOT more work done.
As it is right now, it is pretty bad. It makes for a hilarious let's play video, though.
This is a pretty good mod I've never seen anything like it so i wish to see at least some better stuff I know you can do better!
1. Voice acting work is fantastic, especially for a mod.
2. Art work is phenomenal. Staring through that stained glass window made me get goosebumbs. I don't even know why.
3. If done right, I can see this game being great. It already reminds me of Morrowind/Gothic II. And hell, those are the kind of games you do want to mimic.
1. Every building looks the same.
2. There isn't much color. They all seem like shades of gray, yellow and brown. Except the stained glass windows... M'mmm... delicious.
3. I can't left click the dialogue choices. I am force to hit the number on my keyboard.
1. It feels that this game should be in first person, rather than third person. The way the character slides is annoying. The Source engine was meant for first person games so the camera in third person is akward. Unless you can fix the camera issues and the sliding issue, then maybe you should rethink this games perspective.
2. If you decide to stay with third person, the camera should not be connected with the character, so when you use your mouse to look around, your character should stay in place and not turn. The idea that the character moves without even turning his body, that it just magically turns with the camera annoys me.
When I turned shader, shadow and HDR on their lowest settings, my character became stiff with no walking animation, and his arms were pointed out as if he wanted to be a "T". Though, when starting a new game, my character was fine again. Though, when at the main menu again, I decided to hit F7, though I had no save files, it just gave me my character with a sword and nothing else in my inventory. When I tried to see if I could make this bug happen again doing the same thing as before, the bug came back and at an attempt to use my sword, my character just went black and stay in that "T" form.
2. At one point while speaking with a guard, he decided to walk away, but I could still comunicate with him.
I should add... not using HL:E1.
Looks very polished.

We, the world we live in and the universe(s) we are part of are being and have been shaped by processes evolved along different time scales. Think of the time scales of evolution (from
the expansion of the universe to the development of life, the diversity of
life and the extinction of species), the time scales of chemical reactions
and our metabolic processes, the time scales of social processes, and the time
scales (linear or circular) along which our histories, communities,
families and individual lives develop. These
processes interact in ways that give causes to phenomena of changes that lead
to the reality we live in. Through legends, literature, art & science, we
know the outcome of these interactions but the dynamics and complexities of
these interactions are largely unknown.
This 7th Complexity Conference, organised by Para Limes
attempts to unravel these mysteries. It will also touches on the nature of time
and change, geographical, geophysical, cultural, the personal dimensions to
time; how to deal with them and what they mean for analyzing and understanding
our past, sensing and exploring our future and how to manage our lives, our systems,
or the world we live in. Hear them out from top-notch speakers of prominent
scientists and thinkers from this field
The conference will also host parallel & poster
sessions and launch of the Asian Network of Complexity Scientists by the
Complexity Institute. Thus is a partnership of the Para Limes and Complexity
Please join us for a stimulating conference !

Questions and challenges surrounding the use of medical marijuana and social media in the workplace are on a growing list of emerging employment practices liability insurance topics, experts say. Medical Marijuana is a major topic of debate in California, resulting to mixed messages being sent to workplaces across Los Angeles and Orange County in regards to everything from tolerance to basic coverage. In addition, the use of Social Media has led directly to enormous liability issues in the workplace. Should an employer be able to use social media like Facebook to investigate present and potential employees? At Total HR Management, we are keeping ahead of the curve when it comes to such cutting edge issues in human resources so we can provide effective protection and information for our clients. Let's begin with the bevy of Medical Marijuana questions in the workplace.
According to Seth Brickman, a senior underwriter at Business Risk Partners, which manages EPL products for Lloyd's, employment-related medical marijuana issues are "likely to explode over the next three-to-five years…. There are more and more states in line to have ballot initiatives for medical marijuana, never mind California, which has an upcoming ballot initiative to legalize it [for recreational use], and tax it and sell it like alcohol." At Total HR, we believe in the right of our client companies to drug test and maintain a drug-free working environment. Safety standards are a top priority, and marijuana use outside the workplace increases potential risks and hazards.
The California ballot has thrown many issues into question, ranging from drug testing to insurance liability coverage. In the employment practices context, questions can arise over whether employers have an obligation to accommodate medical use. California laws remain unclear as to the extent to which employers have to accommodate medical marijuana use outside of work, and we specifically refer to a case where an employee cleared to use medical marijuana was fired for a positive drug test result, even though he used it outside of work.
Moving on, in terms of the use of social media and social networking sites to screen job applicants and investigate personal backgrounds, the liability of employing such screening tactics presents another looming exposure for employers. As a Total HR EPLI Attorney expressed: "I think that is going to become a big issue. We're just starting to see a couple of lawsuits. When employers screen or check up on employees by viewing such sites, they need to be really careful because all of the same [employee] protections apply. The Internet is taking issues of personal privacy and private space and blowing them wide open. Since there have been so few actual judgments, the legal precedents have yet to be set."
For example, there are many questions you would not ask during a job interview, like a potential employee's religion or marital status. The answers to these questions, however, can easily be discovered on an individual's Facebook page that's not protected. Beyond being able to see the individual's race, the majority of Social Media Sites, particularly Facebook, tend to reveal, even to strangers, the individual's marital status and religious views. Since companies in Los Angeles and Orange County are at the cutting edge of the social networking revolution, they have to be extra careful of how they address social networking issues both with potential employees and present employees.
A bevy of questions have arisen, including: Can social networking sites be used as a tool in the hiring process when doing due diligence on a potential employee? What are the rules of being on a social networking site during work hours for present employees? Should the communication potential of social networking sites be used as a tool with employees and as a marketing device to recruit potential customers and clients? Finally, from an EPLI (Employment Practices and Liability Insurance) perspective, how do the answers to such questions affect questions of coverage, liability and potential future costs?
With a team on top-notched EPLI attorneys on staff, Total HR makes sure that such potential future time bombs, ranging from medical marijuana issues to the challenges of social networking, are addressed before they become problems for our clients, By providing the best in EPLI insurance coverage and educating our clients, Total HR helps to prevents possible problems before they arise. By keeping on the cutting edge of changes across Southern California, in both Los Angeles and Orange County, Total HR makes sure that your human resources are a benefit and not a liability.

We arrived there 815am, wow we were so early, so, we call Ms choi(international officer) to ask what to do now.. but she said we not supposed to be such early.

How to Update Wii Shopping Channel v21 (Homebrew Hack)
If you have hacked/homebrew wii, you'll notice that Nintendo released a new Shopping Channel update (v21). In order to download the new update, you need to upgrade your wii system. I'm on wii system 4.2 and for some reason Nintendo won't let me download the new system update. So here's how to install the new Shopping Channel without updating the wii system...
1. Download the Shopping Channel v21 wad and stick it on the /wad folder on your SD card.
2. Use either Multi Mod Manager or Wad Manager, from the Homebrew Channel. If you don't have the homebrew channel, see here.)
3. Either 'Load another IOS' or load the wad directly.
4. It might take a few moments, but the wad will install. Exit the app, exit homebrew, and open the Shopping Channel. It should be working again.
--- Donezo!

planning a birthday party for two year olds was much more involved than last year. this year the kids are mobile so you have to have something to do with them, plus we had some older kids join us as well. originally the plan was to have a bunch of outdoor activities, but with all of the storms and rain, we moved everything inside which actually turned out just fine. i had several "games" planned, but it turns out that kids are pretty much still easily entertained by balloons and food. brandon and i had spent weeks working on the backyard to fix the drainage and re-sod where the water was sitting and destroying our grass specifically for parker's party. so unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the new backyard, but it was probably best for the fresh sod anyways.
overall, i was thrilled with the party and happy to see my baby so happy! i'm also so thankful for such great friends and family--thank you all for sharing in such a special day for us!!!
here are some pics from the special day:

Broken Bench
Broken Bench
In Tiny Courts of N.Y., Abuses of Law and Power
James Estrin/The New York Times
In the Town of Colchester, in the Catskills, court is in the garage.
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Some of the courtrooms are not even courtrooms: tiny offices or basement rooms without a judge's bench or jury box. Sometimes the public is not admitted, witnesses are not sworn to tell the truth, and there is no word-for-word record of the proceedings.
Nearly three-quarters of the judges are not lawyers, and many — truck drivers, sewer workers or laborers — have scant grasp of the most basic legal principles. Some never got through high school, and at least one went no further than grade school.
But serious things happen in these little rooms all over New York State. People have been sent to jail without a guilty plea or a trial, or tossed from their homes without a proper proceeding. In violation of the law, defendants have been refused lawyers, or sentenced to weeks in jail because they cannot pay a fine. Frightened women have been denied protection from abuse.
These are New York's town and village courts, or justice courts, as the 1,250 of them are widely known. In the public imagination, they are quaint holdovers from a bygone era, handling nothing weightier than traffic tickets and small claims. They get a roll of the eyes from lawyers who amuse one another with tales of incompetent small-town justices.
A woman in Malone, N.Y., was not amused. A mother of four, she went to court in that North Country village seeking an order of protection against her husband, who the police said had choked her, kicked her in the stomach and threatened to kill her. The justice, Donald R. Roberts, a former state trooper with a high school diploma, not only refused, according to state officials, but later told the court clerk, "Every woman needs a good pounding every now and then."
A black soldier charged in a bar fight near Fort Drum became alarmed when his accuser described him in court as "that colored man." But the village justice, Charles A. Pennington, a boat hauler and a high school graduate, denied his objections and later convicted him. "You know," the justice said, "I could understand if he would have called you a Negro, or he had called you a nigger."
And several people in the small town of Dannemora were intimidated by their longtime justice, Thomas R. Buckley, a phone-company repairman who cursed at defendants and jailed them without bail or a trial, state disciplinary officials found. Feuding with a neighbor over her dog's running loose, he threatened to jail her and ordered the dog killed.
"I just follow my own common sense," Mr. Buckley, in an interview, said of his 13 years on the bench. "And the hell with the law."
The New York Times spent a year examining the life and history of this largely hidden world, a constellation of 1,971 part-time justices, from the suburbs of New York City to the farm towns near Niagara Falls.
It is impossible to say just how many of those justices are ill-informed or abusive. Officially a part of the state court system, yet financed by the towns and villages, the justice courts are essentially unsupervised by either. State court officials know little about the justices, and cannot reliably say how many cases they handle or how many are appealed. Even the agency charged with disciplining them, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, is not equipped to fully police their vast numbers.
But The Times reviewed public documents dating back decades and, unannounced, visited courts in every part of the state. It examined records of closed disciplinary hearings. It tracked down defendants, and interviewed prosecutors and defense lawyers, plaintiffs and bystanders.
The examination found overwhelming evidence that decade after decade and up to this day, people have often been denied fundamental legal rights. Defendants have been jailed illegally. Others have been subjected to racial and sexual bigotry so explicit it seems to come from some other place and time. People have been denied the right to a trial, an impartial judge and the presumption of innocence.
In 2003 alone, justices disciplined by the state included one in Montgomery County who had closed his court to the public and let prosecutors run the proceedings during 20 years in office. Another, in Westchester County, had warned the police not to arrest his political cronies for drunken driving, and asked a Lebanese-American with a parking ticket if she was a terrorist. A third, in Delaware County, had been convicted of having sex with a mentally retarded woman in his care.

Marketing Nothing
I remember having a conversation with someone in the 1980s. I think the conversation arose out of the fact that I was producing a handmade product, which was becoming increasingly rare.
I can't even remember who the person was, but I clearly remember what he said. Referring to The United States, he said:
"We will eventually become a Nation of People producing nothing; just selling insurance to each other."
It seems to me this prediction looms ever closer to coming true; but by now the terminology has changed. No one is "Selling" anything anymore; it is now called "Marketing."
The problem is whether you are selling or marketing, it only works if people are buying, and in today's economic climate people do not have loads of spare cash lying around to buy much of anything.
Now the world is full of "Marketing Gurus." These are people who can no longer make a living by selling stuff, because no one is buying. So now they are selling nothing more than an idea, that you can make a ton of money selling or marketing on the Internet.
Ask yourself this: If I found a way to make a lot of money, would I need to sell that idea to other people? No, I would be too busy making money.
There is an old story about a man in his neighbor's garage when he notices a large amount of boxes containing cleaning products. He remarked, "You must sell a lot of cleaning supplies."
The neighbor replied, "No, but the man who sells me this stuff, he sells a lot of cleaning supplies." It is the Internet Marketing Gurus who are making money, not the poor suckers who buy their idea.
Over the years I attended my share of sales seminars, and read many books on the subject. What always troubled me was the messing with people's minds, to convince that they needed what it was you were selling.
Often it was borderline trickery to convince them that having whatever it was you were selling would make them happier, and their lives better, than holding on to their hard earned cash. Although not illegal, it somehow seemed to me to be morally wrong.
Profit is not a dirty word, however, greed is. This whole mess we find ourselves in now was brought about by greed. People producing nothing and selling nothing tangible; just an idea that people could keep buying and selling real estate loans to make money.
Companies and corporations need to start thinking about the people who work for them as well as their bottom line. Is it really necessary to lay people off and send jobs overseas?
Okay, so your product may cost a little more, and you sell a little less. But there are always people who will pay the extra for a quality product, and some because of the fact it is home produced. Downsizing and cutting back on some employees is better than firing everyone and sending the entire production offshore.
I always bought British made automobiles when I lived in the UK; when I moved to the US I bought American. It is something I have always done on principal.
When I had my bike business I was competing head on with the large Italian bike builders, who would send over in one container shipment more than my entire year's production. But I was able to compete because I didn't have the shipping and wholesale costs that they had.
I didn't have their advertising costs of my large competitors either, because I only needed to sell a fraction of what they did.
I think the good thing that will come out of this recession is that people will become used to getting by on a little less. They will live simpler lives, less dependent on all this material stuff.
And the people listening to these Internet Marketing Gurus, because it seems the only avenue open to them. Think again; they are selling nothing but an idea. False hope, or worse, a scam that will take what little you have, rather than make you money.
You cannot produce nothing and sell it indefinitely. What is needed is people producing worthwhile products, or providing worthwhile services that other people need. Provide that and the marketing will take care of itself.

World's Largest Badger
I visited the World's Largest Badger in September. I almost drove by it -- there is a stockade fence in front of it. The exotic bar is for sale, but you can still drive in the parking lot for a look. The fence has a large scallop cut in front of the badger so you can see his paws and top of his head.[Jeff from the road, 10/09/2008]
World's Largest Badger
Most do not know the World's Largest Badger was originally created to overlook a small game farm. There was once a fishing pond, geese, mini golf course and a whitetail deer farm settled just beyond the giant log and squirrel. The badger was atop what is now a strip club but was once a gift store, video store and gas station. The gift store had local crafts and food (including cheese and local maple syrup). Above this store, in where the badgers (once even larger) body use to be, was room for a small home.
Unfortunately, the local spectacle of nature shifted from that of wild animals to wild women. This was mostly due to the fact that the strip club had to relocate from the nearby town of Aniwa because it was a block from the only school and church in town, and locals residents were upset by its location.
Although "The Badger," as we called it, is still an attraction to many today, I will always remember the deer and geese you could feed while mom and dad filled up the Chevy.[Kate, 03/28/2008]
World's Largest Badger
The badger's still there, still buried up to his neck, but the owners of the "Northern EXposure" exotic dance club have erected a fence in front of him. So he's not quite as visible from the road, and it's a bit more difficult to get pictures with him, too. The giant log with the squirrel on top is still there, too, but looks like it's just being used as a storage garage or something. But hey -- he's still there, and that's what matters, right? :+)[Mary Asbach, 03/16/2007]

Is it the end of the line for leased lines?
Mar 8, 2011 21CN, Business, Reselling
As the availability of ever faster broadband continues to increase thanks to technology advancement, we ask whether it signals the end of the line for leased line connectivity.
First it was ADSL2+ that brought us speeds of up to 24Mbps; then FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) was introduced to deliver up to 40Mbps; and now there are trials of FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) offering speeds of up to 100Mbps. Add extra service features such as Annex M on ADSL2+ for increased upload speed and Elevated Best Efforts (EBE) guaranteeing throughput over the BT network at the busiest times and you can see why it's a relevant question.
For a business customer the latest broadband technologies available appear to have a lot to offer. For example, higher speed connections with an appropriate bandwidth allowance delivered over a provider's network that has ample capacity can be good for businesses wanting to use them for VoIP, linking remote workers or accessing centrally hosted applications. As long as the service provider's network is properly managed to minimise factors like latency, these customers can indeed use business focused broadband connections. We readily promote broadband for day-to-day business communication and have a lot of reseller partners with happy customers.
However, there are commercial and operational factors that can mean broadband doesn't meet the mark. These generally depend on what business customers are trying to achieve, how critical the connections they're using are to them and how important it is to ensure service continuity is guaranteed.
What we're talking about here are factors like the need or desire for a connection that isn't shared with anyone else, backup options in the event of a primary connection fault, the extent of any Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the service provider and speed of fault resolution so that business isn't adversely affected. While broadband can offer the speed potential it can't deliver against these requirements effectively. For example, upload speed is considerably lower than download speed, standard BT fix times are up to 40 hours (20 if the Enhanced Care feature is applied) and there's no included back up service. Where a customer's connectivity is critical for delivering communications and supporting business applications then, more is required than a standard broadband service.
This is where leased line, or Ethernet, connections come into their own. Leased lines deliver the faster, synchronous speeds that many businesses need to support multiple services, applications and users – in the case of Entanet, that's up to 10Gbps. They can also provide a choice of back up connectivity options and, critically, a 100% SLA. They also provide the end user with more flexibility to meet future bandwidth needs as they grow. For example, many Entanet customers purchase a 100Mbps bearer with a 10Mbps Committed Data Rate (CDR) to start with. As their need for more bandwidth arises, they're able to increase the CDR easily and quickly rather than having to invest in a new larger connection. Leased lines can provide un-contended connectivity where exclusivity of availability is essential to the customer and form the ideal core component of IP Virtual Private Networks.
So, is faster broadband signalling the end for leased lines?
Definitely not. As faster broadband with performance enhancing features is helping businesses improve their efficiency and competitiveness, we're seeing demand for 10Mbps, 100Mbps and even higher speed leased line and Ethernet bearers dramatically increase too. Market forces and technology progress has brought down the historically high cost of leased lines and made them accessible to more and more business customers. Their features make them ideal platforms for enabling customers to improve the way they work by supporting their voice and data sharing requirements internally and externally.
This is great news for resellers. It means that, while there are many opportunities available through the emergence of faster broadband, there are also huge opportunities by selling leased line solutions. It may seem a daunting step for traditional broadband resellers to make but it needn't be. In Entanet's case, our experienced pre-sales and solutions consultants can help scope, design and cost solutions before they're implemented by our provisioning and systems teams before being supported by our technical support engineers. To find out more, contact email@example.com.
Have your say!

Nexus 6 vs Galaxy Note 4 – The Battle Of Flagships
Apple has enjoyed its success with the latest iPhones. As much as they got popular, there are still many people who prefer Android over Apple's iOS. Google and Samsung have both released their flagship phones for this year, and Android fans are finding it hard to choose between the two. Let's discuss what both phablets have to offer.
Processor, GPU, RAM
The most important thing to look for in a smartphone is its processor. Samsung offers different versions of processor having variant clock speeds in different regions. However, the version which is being offered in most of the western regions in Galaxy Note 4 is 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU. GPU fitted in Galaxy Note 4 is Adreno 420 graphics and it has 3GB of RAM.
Nexus 6 also features the same processor but GPU is different. Nexus 6 has Krait 450 to power graphics and offers 3GB of RAM.
So both of the phablets are almost identical in this regard.
Samsung has not brought much innovation in the design as compared to the previous version of Note. The only change is that Galaxy Note 4 features a metal body, which makes it look "slightly" better.
Whereas Nexus 6 is a huge phablet that features a very small-sized bezel. This makes it look beautiful. The bezel size of Note 4 is much more than that of Nexus 6's.
But Note 4 is slightly smaller and lighter (153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm, 176g) than Nexus 6 (159.3 x 83 x 10.1 mm, 184g). The difference in size and weight is because Nexus 6 features a larger display than Note 4.
Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7-inch display and offers 2K resolution. It has a pixel density of 515ppi, which makes its display look really good on such a big screen.
On the other hand, Nexus 6 features the largest display in phablet category. It offers a 5.96-inch display having pixel density of 493ppi. It also offers 2K resolution same as Galaxy Note 4.
Both of the phablets are protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and based on AMOLED technology.
The only difference is that Samsung has incorporated SuperAMOLED technology which makes the use of single touch-sensitive layer. This results in slimmer display and makes it perform good in poor light conditions. Another difference is in pixel density of both displays but it is negligible and can't be comprehended by the naked eye.
On paper, Note 4 offers a better camera than Nexus 6 as it incorporates 16-megapixel lens as compared to Nexus 6's 13-megapixel. But we can't decide which camera is better without looking at the images.
However, Nexus 6 is said to perform much better than Note 4 in low-light conditions with its dual-LED flash. Both cameras offer optical image stabilization and autofocus.
As for front-facing camera, Note 4 features a 3.7MP camera at front, while Nexus 6 has 2MP.
OS is the biggest selling point of Nexus devices and of Nexus 6 as well. Nexus 6 provides latest Android Lollipop, which offers a beautiful interface and provides smoothest experience of the stock Android.
Samsung offers TouchWiz in its Note 4, which has not seen much change and the interface is the same old. It comes with native apps which can't be deleted. TouchWiz, however, has been tweaked recently to offer better access to multitasking abilities.
Both of the phablets have 3220mAh batteries. Nexus 6 offers a turbo-charging mode, claiming that it can be charged up to 60% in just 15 minutes. Samsung offers a power saving mode that saves a lot of battery.
Nexus 6 comes with a price tag of $649, which makes it quite expensive compared to the previous Nexus release. But it does make sense when you consider how much Google and Motorola have packed into this powerful device. The Galaxy Note 4 is still more expensive with its price point of $700.
Both of the phablets are almost identical, providing same specs. However, considering latest software updates and a huge screen, Nexus 6 is the better option. It is also priced slightly less than Note 4. Moreover, if you already own Note 3, you will not experience much change in Note 4.

From Policy and Medicine: University of Wisconsin CME: Dean Directs Sunshine on Journal Sentinel Attacks. It sounds like the university's CME activities were called into question in recent editorials and articles in the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel (see UW linked to ghostwriting, which begins, "As fears were growing about the link between hormone therapy and breast cancer, a drug company paid the University of Wisconsin to sponsor ghostwritten medical education articles that downplayed the risks, records obtained by the Journal Sentinel show," and this editorial lauding the journalists efforts to uncover alleged wrongdoing).
Robert N. Golden, dean of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health and vice chancellor for medical affairs, fires back in this editorial: Academic integrity in UW's CME program, where he explains,
An objective, unbiased assessment confirms that the academic integrity of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health's Office of Continuing Professional Development is not in question. The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, the nonpartisan organization that sets and monitors the standards for CME programs across the country, recently completed an independent inquiry, which was triggered by the Journal Sentinel's first article about our CME activities.
The ACCME wrote that we had "implemented a careful and deliberate process to ensure that large amounts of commercial support do not in any way compromise the integrity of the university or the integrity of the continuing medical education program."
We all need to do a better job of helping the media understand the safeguards we have in place exactly to keep what the Journal alleges from happening. They just don't get it, all too often.
Thanks to the CME LinkedIn group for the pointer!

In the beginning, Chrestians (as they were called for decades before the name "Christians" for them became standardized) used the same Scriptures as their Judaic antecessors, at least their Judaic antecessors known as the Hellenistai, i.e. Hellenistic Jews. In other words, they used the Greek-language Septuagint. Most of the works in the current New Testament were recognized with varying levels of acceptance across the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia.
The Septuagint, 3rd century BCE
Since the Vulgate re-ordered the books within its Old Testament, the order they fell in the Septuagint follow here:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Kings1, 2 Kings2, 3 Kings3, 4 Kings4, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras5, Esther6, Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees, Psalms7, Prayer of Manasseh, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Psalms of Solomon, Twelve Minor Prophets8, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch, Lamentations, Letter of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel9
1 1 Samuel
2 2 Samuel
3 1 Kings
4 2 Kings
5 Ezra-Nehemiah
6 with additions
7 including Psalm 151
8 Hosea, Amos, Micah, Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
9 with additions
The oldest copies of the Septuagint bore the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew script in those places in which it occurred in the Hebrew.
In addition to the above, many apocryphal "Old Testament" works are quoted or otherwise referenced in the New Testament and should get at least an honorable mention:
1 Enoch, Odes of Solomon, Assumption of Moses, Martyrdom and Ascension of Isaiah, Testament of Abraham, Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, Jubilees
The earliest mention of anything approaching a scriptural canon appeared in the first half of the second century.
Doctrina duodecim Apostolorum, 2nd century CE
This church order, a generation or so after the Didache, recommends that only the Old Testament, the Prophets, the Gospels, and the Acts of the Apostles be read in church.
Marcion of Sinope, 138 CE
Marcion was founder of a heterodox sect named for him that was quasi-Gnostic. He appeared in Rome in 138, bringing with him two volumes. First was the Evangelikon, also known as the 'Gospel of the Lord', an early version of the later Gospel of Luke missing several later interpolations. He also brought the Apostolikon, a compilation of letters attributed to Paul of Tarsus: Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Romans, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, Philippians, Laodiceans, and Alexandrians
Justin Martyr, mid-2nd century CE
In the First Apology and Dialogue with Trypho, Justin discusses several "memoirs of the apostles" which clues reveal to be all the Synoptics, and possibly the Gospel of John as well.
Elsewhere he quotes or refers to Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, Titus, and 1 Timothy.
Tatian, 165 CE
He and the Encratites, and their daughter sects (Severians, Aquarii, Apotactites), accepted the Torah, the Prophets, and the Gospels, but rejected Acts and the Pauline Epistles.
Regarding the gospels, he composed what may be the first gospel harmony, called the Diatesseron. This composite work compiled all material of the four canonical gospels except the two genealogies in Matthew and Luke and the Pericope Adulterae in John, which lends support for their later composition. It also included material from several noncanonical gospels.
The Diatesseron remained the official gospel of the Aramaic-speaking churches through the sixth century.
Muratorian Canon, 170 CE
This fragment of parchment list as canonical all the works of the canonical NT, save 3 John, plus the Apocalypse of Peter, the Wisdom of Solomon. It recommends that The Shepherd of Hermas, brother of Pope Pius, be read privately but not in church.
Peshitta, c. 180
Its Old Testament had been translated into Aramaic from Hebrew in Edessa in the early first century CE. The translators included all the canonical books in Hebrew, and later Christians may have included many of the apocryphal books as well. The New Testament included the Diatesseron (which was accepted by all Aramaic-speakers), Acts, and the Pauline Epistles, but excluded the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse of John.
Clement of Alexandria, c. 200
Used all 27 canonical works, plus the Epistle of Barnabas, 1 Clement, Apocalypse of Peter, the Shepherd, Gospel of the Hebrews, Gospel of the Egyptians, Preaching of Peter, Traditions of Matthathias, Sibylline Oracles, and the Oral Gospel.
Origen, first half of the second century
Accepted all four gospels but rejected the letters of Paul
Eusebius, 330
In his History of the Christian Church, Eusebius divides the works of the New Testament into the following three categories:
Canonical: Four gospels, Acts, Pauline epistles (including Hebrews), 1 John, 1 Peter
Antilegomena: 2 John, 3 John, 2 Peter, James, Jude
Deuterocanonical: Acts of Paul, The Shepherd, Apocalypse of Peter, Epistle of Barnabas, Didache, Apocalypse of John
Claronmontanus Canon, c. 350
This codex's New Testament lacked Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, and Hebrews, but in their place included 3 Corinthians, Acts of Paul, Apocalypse of Peter, Epistle of Barnabas, The Shepherd.
Council of Laodicea, 364
The clerics approved of all the current New Testament save the Apocalypse of John.
Athanasius, Easter message 367
The bishop lists all the books of the current canon.
Apostolic Canons, 380
This church order published approximately this year adds Jubilees to the Old Testament, and 1 Clement, 2 Clement, and the Apostolic Constitutions to the New Testament
Vulgate Bible, 383
Commissioned by Pope Damasus I, and translated by Jerome, this translation into the lingua franca of the western empire more or less fixed the canon in the West, at least implicitly.
Synod of Hippo, 393
Presided over by Augustine of Hippo, this synod explicitly fixed the canonical works of the New Testament by decree, and also made canonical the fiction that Paul wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews. These decisions were reaffirmed at the synods of Carthage in 397 and 419.
Ecclesiastical Canons of the Holy Apostles, 6th century
All books of the canonical New Testament save the Apocalypse of John, but including 1 Clement, 2 Clement, and the Apostolic Constitutions
Harklean version of the Peshitta, 616
This edition of the Aramaic scriptures marks the first inclusion of five books—2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, Apocalypse of John—which had previously been excluded.
Armenian canon, 1200
Until this year, the canonical books among Armenian Christians included all books of the New Testament except for the Apocalypse of John. Armenians sometimes still include 3 Corinthians in their canon, and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs in their Old Testament.
Coptic canon
The New Testament includes the twenty-seven books of the universal canon, plus 1 Clement and 2 Clement.
Ethiopian canon
The Ethiopian canon of the Tanakh, or Old Testament, includes the books of the Septuagint, though in different order, with Jubilees and I Enoch added to it; its broader canon includes the Book of Josephus son of Ben Garon, also known as Pseudo-Josephus.
The Ethiopian New Testament includes the twenty-seven universally recognized books plus the broader canon made up of the Book of the Covenant, in two parts; the Sinodos, a compilation of ancient church orders which includes the Apostolic Church Order, the Apostolic Tradition, and the Apostolic Constitutions, along with additional material, the whole being ascribe to Clement of Rome; the Book of Clement, in seven parts, a uniquely Ethiopian work; and the Ethiopian Didascalia, much different than the better known Didascalia Apostolorum, but similar to Books I-VII of the Apostolic Constitutions.

An amazing photo of the U.K.
I love this photo:
[...] Although the Brexit vote is some way off, we still feel an exit from the European Union is not going to eventuate. Because of this we have taken advantage of the lower pound and increased our long position.But the photo is amazing. Click on it to look at it in it's full size. You can still see the sky above the horizon, so I suspect it was taken from the very upper reaches of the outer stratosphere. So beautiful.
Boris Johnson may be charismatic and popular with the people, ourselves included, but he is also considered quite wacky, so to speak. We feel many of the British public will take his view that the United Kingdom should exit the European Union with a pinch of salt, and don't consider him to be a true threat here. [...]

#inspiredDOOH Chipotle give away 14k Burritos
Another good example of how DOOH could enhance a social effort:
Chipotle's UK Facebook & Twitter pages will reveal a 24-hour website each day, for 7 days, starting 5 August. The Mexican food group will encourage people to visit the site, with the first 2,000 visitors being given an exclusive downloadable voucher for any London branch. However it's not as simple as it sounds, the URLs will be shown in speed reading format, words will flash up one after the other making up the website.
Current formats – web / social / in-store
This could have benefitted from being dynamic, with DOOH opportunities including:
– Clues / prizes dropped in OOH
– Twitter heat mapping #BurritoWatch
– Countdown
– Location aware: directions to stores near here
– UGC from winners
– LIVE "Burrito giveaway counter"
Suggested formats– digital OOH screens

Here is my kitchen for this week. Brought to you by me- Jenny. When we first bought this house it was so gross. We re-modeled everything our selves! We still have a lot more on what i want to do with the kitchen and the rest of the house. So its still a work in progress. I painted the cabinets black and distressed them myself(with the help of my lovely sister). I love the way they turned out! There is nothing better than having a nice clean kitchen( at least for me) thanks for visiting my kitchen!
My Inspiration:
Here is one Kitchen i love. I love the glass on the Cabinets! So freaking cute. And of course the chandelier is to die for!
Today my dad would of celebrated his 61st birthday! So i ll leave you with a little tip he always told me while he cooked( He was chef, an excellent one i might add, gourmet one!)
"Clean as you go" and i must say i do live by his quote. makes it easier and less of a mess to clean up after-wards

Netflix's 'House of Cards' Delivers First Look at Kevin Spacey
You'd better get used to seeing Kevin Spacey look dapper in a tuxedo, if you hadn't already. Though the series won't debut until sometime next year, Netflix and acclaimed director David Fincher's original series 'House of Cards' (not to be confused with Showtime's 'House of Lies') is going to be around for awhile. The video rental / streaming service has ordered a full two seasons of the drama before even airing, but how would you like a first look?
'House of Cards,' itself adapted from a British novel penned by former Conservative Party chief of Staff Michael Dobbs and previously adapted for a BBC miniseries, follows Kevin Spacey as a "wily, murderous politician worming his way to the White House." Screenwriter Beau Wilmon updates the setting from Dobbs' original novel, which followed an ambitious yet morally dubious British politician eying Margaret Thatcher's position as Prime Minister in her final days.
Joining Spacey is Robin Wright, who will portray the politicians' wife, who purportedly has ambitions of her own. You can get your first look at both Spacey and Penn in character for for the first official shot from 'House of Cards' (courtesy of EW), looking all smiles at some kind of event, but you'll have to wait until 2013 to check out the series itself.
Let us know what you think, and if you'll watch the series in the comments!

What should I eat?
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me that question...The answer is a diet varied in colors, flavors, textures, nutrients and generally recognizable as how the food comes from its original or whole state. As Michael Pollan famously wrote, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
With collaborators at Harvard Women's Health Watch, we've put together a list of 12 "superfoods" and details about what makes them so healthy.
Check out: 12 Superfoods You Should Be Eating
