|Scivias II.6: Christ's
Sacrifice and the Church.
Rupertsberg MS, fol. 86r.
|O cruor sanguinis
qui in alto sonuisti,
cum omnia elementa
se implicuerunt
in lamentabilem vocem
cum tremore,
quia sanguis Creatoris sui
illa tetigit,
ungue nos
de languoribus nostris.
|O streaming blood,
to heaven's height you cried,
when every element
enwrapped itself within
a voice of woe
with trembling misery,
for their Creator's blood
had covered them:
Anoint us
and heal our feebleness.
In this disturbingly evocative antiphon, the Symphonic Doctor employs her signature synaesthetic mode of visionary poetry to describe today's momentous emptiness. The mighty Word-made-flesh is crucified, his blood outpoured upon the very earth he made.
Let us, who are made in his image and likeness and renewed by his own humanity, feel that blood drip upon us, see its scarlet ribbons flow, and hear its cry: "It is finished!" The foundations of the earth are shaken, the temple veil is rent, as their Creator's body is pierced, broken, and torn. His streaming blood anoints us, baptizes us, endows us as members of his body and his bride, Holy Mother Church.
[1] Latin text from Barbara Newman's edition of Symphonia (Cornell University Press, 1988, 2nd ed. 1998), p. 102. Translation by Nathaniel Campbell. A transcription of the music (in chant notation) of "O cruor sanguinis" can be found at Br. Francis Therese Krautter's Symphonia blog. ↩

In-ear models are often considered the ugly duckling of the headphone world. Where on- and over-ear headphones suggest superior sound quality and luxury, the humble in-ear is too reminiscent of the flimsy black plastic numbers you get free on planes to be taken seriously.
In reality, in-ear headphones are better likened to a workhorse: they're built with practicality, durability and endurance in mind, and as technology develops, the quality of the market choices vastly increase.
As with any sporting equipment, it's worth investing in headphones – not only for their sound quality and design, but also to ensure a superior fit. Some people like the security of an over-ear clip, some prefer more expensive wireless options, while others keep it simple with a traditional wraparound neckband.
Whatever your preference, we've got five of the best in-ear sports headphones for you to choose from.
Klipsch S41 Rugged
The Klipsch S4i Rugged are exactly what you want in a pair of sports headphones: durable, well-designed, with good sound quality.
They're not wireless like some of the more high-end models, and the remote can feel a little oversized for running, but they will hold up well for both indoor and outdoor exercise.
Sweat-resistant and waterproof, they come complete with a neat carrying case and in four colourways.
Available at Amazon, priced £89.99.
Powerbeats2 Wireless
Sure, Beats can seem overpriced when compared to a lot of other brands, but these sweat-resistant wireless earphones really are some of the best around.
They are blessed with a sleek design, come in multiple colourways and work by connecting to your device via Bluetooth.
The curved ear hooks mean they fit to ear snugly, and the battery life extends to around six hours, which should cover even the most enthusiastic bouts of exercise.
Available at Beats by Dre, priced £169.95.
Sennheiser PMX 685i Sports
In-ear neckband headphones aren't to everyone's taste, but once again, Sennheiser have hit it out of the park with the PMX 685i, which features a super lightweight frame, weighting only nine grams, along with a simple cord and remote control set up.
The no frills design is accompanied by a reassuringly replaceable price tag of £40.99. The built-in microphone means you can easily take calls while on the run, or you can simply enjoy Sennheiser's trademark excellent sound quality.
Available at Amazon, priced £40.99.
Monster iSport Victory
These nifty little neon green numbers feel like an extravagance but they've got more than enough performance power to back up their higher price tag.
Combining noise isolation, waterproof materials and a tangle-free cord, the Monster iSport Victory are something of a rarity: sports headphones with stellar sound.
And you'll be able to appreciate the sound even more due to the patented SportClip earbuds, which will ensure they stay securely in your ear for the duration of your workout.
Available at shopmonsterproducts.co.uk, priced £129.95.
Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless
Spending the best part of £200 for a piece of technology you'll spend most of your time sweating on seems crazy. But the Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless headphones are more than just a way for you to secretly listen to Taylor Swift on the treadmill.
With an in-ear heart rate monitor that connects to supporting Android and iOS apps, and a fine-tuned design that means, once nestled in your ears, these bad boys aren't budging, the Jabra Sport Pulse are perhaps the ultimate sports headphones.
Available at jabra.com, priced £199.

So, I accidentally took two weeks off of blogging. Sorry! However, I was super excited when I logged back in today and saw that I was nominated for an award. WHAT? Lindsay at Just Keep Teaching has nominated me for the Liebster Award. In the middle of writing this post, I found out that Melanie from Finding the Joy has nominated me too! Aren't they awesome?
The Liebster Award is given to up and coming bloggers with less than 200 followers (I qualify with my lovely 30 :)) The award is given to recognize new blogs and welcome them to the blogging community. The word "Liebster" is German for sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant valued, and welcome.

I've got quite a few drama-type updates for you, some good and some bad. Life always seems to give you things in those kind of pairs - one door closes, another one opens.
So, I heard from both Mountview and LAMDA. And both of them said, "BUGGER OFF WE DON'T WANT YOU YOU'RE CRAP." Well, not quite that but it was a no nonetheless. That's okay - I knew my LAMDA had gone awfully (I was very, very late to boot) and I was so pleased to get to the last round of Mountview. I've made some sort of achievement, I'm not totally worthless. A little dent in the confidence but this industry is too tough to give up at the first hurdle. Anyway, I've begun looking at Foundation courses and I'm applying to Arts Ed for their Acting and Musical Theatre courses. Hopefully they'll give me something!
I also heard from Exeter University who said YES COME HERE which was nice. I'm not particularly interested in studying Drama at university but it was nice to get a yes after the many, many no's.
On another good note, I have an audition for an agency - its called Abacus and a few friends used to be represented by them. They also represented Keira Knightly and currently represent two of the cast of Spring Awakening which is showing at the Lyric Hammersmith. Which, coincidentally, I am going to see on Friday for free, thanks to A Night Less Ordinary. I can't wait! I've been listening to the soundtrack on repeat and I really love it. I'm considering doing a song from it for my audition - it'll show I've looked into the agency and that I keep up to date with new work. Hopefully. Either way, I'm excited.
Yesterday, I went up to the National Theatre to film part of an advert for their festival New Connections. The logo for this year is a high five with paint exploding behind it, so they picked a theme word from each play (such as hope, aggression or magic) and wanted the actors to come up with things to do with their hands to represent that. We had 'celebration' and did things such as dancing, a Mexican wave and clapping. All whilst having paint thrown at us. It was very fun and messy and I got to meet some nice people. Plus had a look around the backstage of the National which was really interesting. Saw some fascinating sets being made and I THINK I spotted a horse from War Horse.
Last week I went to see the Donmar's 'Twelfth Night' at the Wyndham's with Derek Jacobi with a few friends. Unlike other Shakespeare I have seen, which I've studied, I knew only a little about the play before hand so I was very interested to see how it translated. Of course, studying Shakespeare before helped with some of the language, but I did feel a little stupid in places when everyone around me was laughing hysterically and I was sat there looking blank. However, the rest of the audience did look about fifty years older than me so I think I'm excused. However, I did understand the play and found many parts very, very funny. Jacobi was amazingly hilarious whilst still exuding that magic that only a few older Shakespearian actors have (I'm thinking Ian McKellen and Patrick Stuart). Similarly the actress' playing Viola and Olivia were both stunningly gorgeous and immensely talented - sorry I don't know you're names!
However, one thing that did irritate my slightly was the staff. Admittedly we were a few minutes late but as we ran in, flustered and red-faced, they were very rude and condescending. Okay, we were a tad late but we're students paying quite a lot of money for these tickets - you could be polite and courteous! I know I would be if I were in their position.
I also saw On the Waterfront with Stephen Berkoff two weeks ago - but I'll write about that some other time.
Tomorrow, I am auditioning for the National Youth Theatre with two friends - I'm looking forward to it if not expecting to get in. I auditioned last year, and I know many people get in on their second or third audition but this time I'm not as bothered. Maybe its because I'm older. Who knows.
In other news, Sweeney Todd is coming along wonderfully. We had our third rehearsal last night and began the hardest song in the show, 'God That's Good!' and God is it hard! Luckily I'm not in it that much but even so I was assigned to the tenor section. What's that about!? I'm a frickin' baritone and I can't even squeek these notes. I'm quite scared. There's about five parts going on at once, with chorus having conversations whilst the leads sing vital stuff... its all crazy. However, it is sounding quite brilliant already so I've got hope!

"Let's have a paint fight!"

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
This is going to be a very short post before I return to my audience recollections, simply for a quick update.
Update One: SNOW! We've had about 10 inches of snow, and for the first time in my life I've had an official school day. It feels quite extraordinary. I met up with some friends and had less of a snow-fight and more of a snow-wrestle, but luckily my newly acquired skiing gear kept my dry and toasty.
Update B: I've been cast as Anthony Hope in an am dram version of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street! I'm very excited as the part is a bit more demanding musically than I've done before, and a challenge is always good. So I'm very scared at the prospect of those top Es but I also can't wait! However, there's another youth am dram version of the play going on in the area, and some guys from my school are in both productions - rivalry in the drama department! However, this does provide me with a story to tell that has a moral! Oh yes, I'm trying to educate you as well as let you laugh at my endeavors. One of the members of the Other Play is called C and he's one of those actors who are just a little too over the top, a little too enthusiastic, a little too confident in their own abilities. Anyway, he auditioned for Sweeney and didn't get it; I however know the actor who did get it (O). I worked with him about three years ago, and even then he was very, very good. He's been at Arts Ed sixth form now for two years so I'm sure he's improved. C on the other hand believed that O didn't deserve the role. He made this view very clear on someone's Facebook wall, a someone who was 'Friends' with the director of his show, who obviously wasn't happy with this criticism. C has now been made to publicly apologise and been banned from all future roles in the company's shows.
Now, this says two things to me. One, it seems a little bit like karma and that he got his comeuppance, but I'm nice so we wont' say that. Secondly, sometimes it is really best to keep your opinion to yourself. The industry is very small and in this day and age with networking sites and suchlike, anyone can read anything. And thirdly, why put it on someone's wall! Seriously: email, private message, text, phonecall, MSN, letter, face-to-face, carrier pigeon - there are a hundred and one ways to let someone know something without making it very, very public. Fool.

This Time We Knew
Western Responses to Genocide in Bosnia
422 pages
October, 1996
We didn't know. For half a century, Western politicians and intellectuals have so explained away their inaction in the face of genocide in World War II. In stark contrast, Western observers today face a daily barrage of information and images, from CNN, the Internet, and newspapers about the parties and individuals responsible for the current Balkan War and crimes against humanity. The stories, often accompanied by video or pictures of rape, torture, mass graves, and ethnic cleansing, available almost instantaneously, do not allow even the most uninterested viewer to ignore the grim reality of genocide.
And yet, while information abounds, so do rationalizations for non-intervention in Balkan affairs - the threshold of real genocide has yet to be reached in Bosnia; all sides are equally guilty; Islamic fundamentalism in Bosnia is a threat to the West; it will only end when they all tire of killing each other - to name but a few.
In This Time We Knew, Thomas Cushman and Stjepan G. Mestrovic have put together a collection of critical, reflective, essays that offer detailed sociological, political, and historical analyses of western responses to the war. This volume punctures once and for all common excuses for Western inaction. This Time We Knew further reveals the reasons why these rationalizations have persisted and led to the West's failure to intercede, in the face of incontrovertible evidence, in the most egregious crimes against humanity to occur in Europe since World War II.
Contributors to the volume include Kai Erickson, Jean Baudrillard, Mark Almond, David Riesman, Daniel Kofman, Brendan Simms, Daniele Conversi, Brad Kagan Blitz, James J. Sadkovich, and Sheri Fink.
"For people who still are wondering what was happening to the conscience of the West toward Bosnia since 1991, This Time We Knew: Western Responses to Genocide in Bosnia is must reading."
—Universal Press Syndicate
"This Time We Knew is a work of scholarship that aspires to be an act of conscience—and succeeds in its aspirations."
—Los Angeles Times

The Classen PRO line of landscaping equipment offers productivity-enhancing features, such as hydrostatic transmissions, anti-vibration grips and power steering. The PRO line includes five products: a new stand-on aerator, a walk-behind aerator, an overseeder, a sod cutter and a turf rake. The overseeder, turf rake and sod cutter feature hydrostatic drives, which give the operator variable speed in forward or reverse. Classen also incorporated its patented split-drive system into the Pro PowerSteer walk-behind aerator, allowing the engine to power dual tine shafts independently for added maneuverability during aeration.
General Equipment Company's M235 two-man hole digger features new polymeric Gen 2 Comfort-Flex operator handle technology with integrated flex-type handle grips for absorbing torque-related kickback forces and damping machine vibrations.
Featuring a Briggs & Stratton 190cc, 4.5-horsepower gas engine, the M235 delivers a maximum drilling torque of 154 foot-pounds. The newly designed, heavy duty, oil-cooled transmission includes a centrifugal all-metal clutch and machine-cut spur gears with a 1-inch diameter output shaft. The new transmission lock feature allows for easy removal of a stuck auger from the ground without disconnecting the power unit from the auger and helping prevent damage to both.
Little Beaver's Kwik-Trench mini-trenchers, the KT200B and KT2400B, both trench up to 30 feet per minute. Featuring carbide-tipped teeth and a powerful drive system, the mini-trencher cuts through tough surfaces such as compacted clay, road fill, asphalt and tree roots up to 10 inches thick. Featuring a triple V-belt drive system, the Kwik-Trench achieves rotation speed up to 800 rpm. Precise cutting depth is achieved with a manual crank, while each trencher's locking swivel wheel guides the unit. Powered by a 5.5-horsepower Honda engine, the KT 200B is capable of achieving depths up to 8 inches. The KT 2400B employs an 8-horsepower Honda engine and achieves depths up to 12 inches.
Little Wonder's BRC-26 Hydro Brush Cutter features a hydrostatic drive with clutchless variable operating speeds — as fast as 4.2 miles per hour driving forward and 1.7 miles per hour in reverse. The brush cutter clears about an acre of heavy brush per hour, according to the OEM. It is designed to handle heavy, thick brush and trees up to 2 inches thick and 5 feet high. It features solid rods to connect the transmission, park brake and blade clutch eliminating the risk of branches getting tangled in and breaking cables. Other features include a wraparound hand guard across the handlebars and front of the machine.
Makita has expanded its line of 4-stroke engine power equipment with the release of three hedge trimmers that offer commercial-duty performance and lower emissions, with no fuel mixing required. The 20-inch 25.4cc MM4 Articulating Hedge Trimmer (EN4950H) features an articulating gear case with 13 angle settings for efficient trimming of overhead and low-lying hedges. The 24-inch 25.4cc MM4 Double-Sided Hedge Trimmer (EN5950SH) has high blade speed (4,200 SPM) for efficient cutting. And the 30- inch 25.4cc MM4 Single-Sided Hedge Trimmer (EN7350SH) combines high blade speed (4,200 SPM) with a scoop-shaped chip receiver for faster, easier clean-ups.
Incorporating customer feedback, Morbark added a new 12-inch chipper to its Beever product line. With the same large 60-inch x 31-inch chute opening and 15-inch x 12-inch throat opening as the standard M12R, the M12RX is designed to facilitate feeding of branches and reduce saw labor. The M12RX will be available with an 89-HP gasoline GM engine or a Tier 4 Final diesel engine. Like all Morbark chippers up to 18 inches, the M12RX can be equipped with Morbark's optional ChipSafe Operator Safety Shield, which stops the chipper's feeding mechanism if the operator's ChipSafe gloves or ankle/wrist straps enter the ChipSafe sensing zone in the infeed chute.
The Lawnaire ZTS is Ryan's first stand-on aerator. The drivetrain features an automatic chain-tensioning system and multiple easy-access panels designed to keep out debris. Features include a shock-absorbing operator platform, an aeration depth stop and an ergonomic, rapid hydraulic tine lift. The controls of the Lawnaire ZTS are designed for the rental market, requiring less time and experience to learn, while also designed for more comfort to the user, according to the OEM.
Southwest Products Quiet Power Mobile Generators feature an easy-to-use digital controller, sound attenuation and oversized alternators for better starting. The Tier 4 Final-rated QP 50 generator (pictured) is now available and SWP is rolling out additional Perkins Tier 4 Final-powered generator models throughout 2016 to fill product gaps in the marketplace. Quiet Power generators are built standard with a heavy gauge steel enclosure for maximum sound attenuation. The units are designed for high endurance and extended run times with reliable, heavy duty Perkins and Isuzu engines.
The Vermeer BC1000XL brush chipper is powered by an 89-horsepower PSI 3.0 L gas engine, with an electronic fuel injection system, and has a 12-inch chipping capacity. Designed with a large, rectangular 12- x 17-inch feed opening, the BC1000XL is designed to process difficult trees with minimal re-trimming of the branches. The BC1000XL features the Vermeer EcoIdle engine control system. When engaged, it automatically lowers engine speed to 1,400 rpm if the machine idles for 60 seconds or five minutes — as predetermined by the operator's setting. EcoIdle helps the machine consume less fuel when the feeding process has frequent interruptions, and can help reduce noise emissions on the jobsite.

A Streetcar Named Desire opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theater on December 3, 1947 starring none other Marlon Brandon as Stanley Kowalski and Jessica Tandy as Blanche Du Bois. Before making it to could be seen at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, Connecticut. Harold Clurman directed the cast while they were on tour, and when they hit Broadway changes needed to made as they always do and Elia Kazan took over.
As rough as these characters are because they go after their desires makes the story all the more maddening because they are so willing to hurt each other despite the fact that Stella cares for her sister Blanche so. Blanche looked at Stella's husband and saw a beautiful man that she couldn't resist. There can only be trouble.If only there were 'selfie's then?
Trouble comes before the holidays. As we are decorating our homes and planning for parties. Our trouble can only be better trouble than that of Blanche, Stella and Stanley's.

Palisades, Rock Formation
This unusual rock formation, called the
Palisades, resulted from an eruption of a volcanic spout
west of Washington's White Pass. Geologists believe that dacite
lava flowed about nine miles before being blocked at Clear
Creek, possibly by glacial ice.

Cory Environmental - London's green electricity boost
(15 June 2006) Cory Environmental will build London's first river-served energy-from-waste plant at Belvedere, following a go ahead announcement by the Government. The site, in the London Borough of Bexley, is on the opposite bank of the Thames to the old Ford Motor works.
The decision was made by the Department of Trade and Industry's energy section as the plant will make a significant contribution to renewable energy. The decision made today follows public inquiries held in 2003 and 2005.
The decision came in the wake of several government waste strategy announcements highlighting the need to reduce the amount of household rubbish going to landfill sites. This strategy, which is European-wide places an emphasis on reducing waste (e.g less packaging), increasing recycling (e.g. bottle banks) and recovering the energy locked into waste that cannot be recycled. It is this, unrecycled waste, which will be used as a fuel to generate 66MW of electricity and avoid over 500,000 tonnes a year of waste being buried in holes in the ground.
Using household waste in this way reduces the demands on fossil fiels (oil, gas and coal) being burnt to generate electricity. The burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to greenhouse gases and global warming.
The riverside plant will depend heavily on tugs and barges using the Thames. This is another benefit as it saves over 100,000 lorry journeys a year from lorries trundling through the capitals congested roads.
The application was made by Riverside Resource Recovery Ltd (RRL) a Cory subsidiary set up specifically for this plant. The plant is designed to process up to 585,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste - about half the size of the plant originally mooted. The majority of the waste will come from the four London boroughs of Lambeth, Wandsworth, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham via the Western Riverside Waste Authority. It has awarded Cory a 30-year contract worth £700 million.
The plant already has a clean bill of health from the Environment Agency and a licence from the Port of London Authority to use the river. Work on site is likely to start in about six months.
John Boldon, Cory's Group Planning and Communications Director, welcomed the news: " We must now turn our attention to working closely with the local communities through the Riverside Community Forum. We have kept local people and groups involved all along the way. Now we need to work even more closely. This will include making sure local job opportunities are realised.
"This is also good for London as a whole. While Cory has a 100 year history of managing the capital's waste, this marks a new era and is tangible proof of our commitment to recycle and recover waste."
Malcolm Ward, Cory's Chief Executive added: "We are delighted to have been given the green light. The decision is a clear endorsement that strictly controlled incineration with energy recovery has a major role to play in waste management. This will make a major contribution to helping London meet the European landfill diversion tragets. This will save millions of pounds in fines which would then have been levied on London Council tax payers."

Deion Sanders' Charter School Being Forced to Surrender Its Charter
In September 2011, former NFL star Deion Sanders won the rights to open a charter school in Texas. Just over three years later, Sanders' school is nearing its final days.
On Friday, Prime Prep Academy announced it would surrender its charter, per WFAA.com's Brett Shipp, putting the school's future in doubt. The school's board planned to meet Monday to surrender the charter, but cancelled an hour before the meeting after it appeared as though they wouldn't have enough members present (three) needed for a quorum, per Jeff Mosier of The Dallas Morning News.
The school board's abandoned meeting won't spare Prime Prep from surrendering its charter, however. During a hearing Tuesday, "an administrative judge granted the state's motion for a default judgment against Prime Prep Academy in its final charter revocation appeal," Mosier reported. No school officials attended the hearing.
"We don't have the financial resources to defend ourselves in an appeal," said T. Christopher Lewis, board president of Uplift Fort Worth, which holds Prime Prep's charter, to Mosier. "In order to not waste the time of everyone involved, it was in Uplift's best interest to give up the charter."
The revocation of the charter means the school will close at the end of the year, if not sooner. One of Prime Prep's new state-appointed managers told Shipp that they will work to keep the school open through the end of the school year, if possible.
The Texas Education Agency began to attempt revoking Prime Prep's charter this past summer due to "improper financial management and failure to comply with the state education code." The TEA cited the school's removal from the National School Lunch Program—a federally funded program providing free and reduced-price lunch to needy children—as a main reason to strip its charter.
Prime Prep's troubles didn't stop there, however. According to Mosier, the school's "deteriorating finances" led to delays in paying staff members, "and employees lost their health insurance after premiums were not paid."
"We as a board fought as hard as we could to turn the ship around," Lewis told Mosier. "At the end of the day, we just couldn't overcome the obstacles."
Sanders posted about Prime Prep's troubles on his Facebook page Monday:
According to Mosier, a state-appointed board of managers and superintendent are reviewing the school's finances to determine whether it can remain open through the remainder of the school year. The school has roughly 300 students this year.

Stevenage boss Gary Smith saluted Dani Lopez after his hat-trick stunned promotion-chasing Sheffield United.
Lopez scored four minutes before the interval and twice after the break, with Lucas Akins completing a comprehensive 4-0 win for the hosts.
Spanish striker Lopez, who began his career with Atletico Madrid playing in the same youth team as Fernando Torres, was only recalled from a loan spell at Barnet in midweek.
Smith said: "It's a wonderful result. I'm sure that Dani Lopez will make the headlines and rightly so. His performance was the highlight of the season so far.
"He did great for the first goal, I thought the defender was climbing all over him and he used his body well and turned him nicely to score. If we all get the opportunity to see him enough, when he gets in front of goal you feel confident that he will at least make the keeper work, while his third was an absolute corker.
"He has been out to Aldershot and Barnet in League Two on loan, he speaks very little English, he's had to find out about the English game the hard way and take a few knocks.
"Sometimes it doesn't matter what level you're playing at, you feel like you will score goals. He has got bundles of ability and two very good feet and if you can get him in around that area, he will work an angle and get a shot off."
United boss Danny Wilson said: "I think we have made all of our mistakes this season in one game. Defensively we were second best, we have allowed too much space for all four goals, and they were poor, poor goals.
"Throughout the game I thought we were second best in all areas. It shouldn't be a shock because results like this can happen.
"It's how you respond that is the best tonic. But in saying that we have got to do better in all areas, there were too many parts of our performance where we weren't competing, where we have been previously."

After much research we have concluded that for the majority of SMB's or (small to medium sized businesses) native apps are a very bad way to engage customers on mobile devices. Our Mobile Web Apps have the look and feel of native and offer a choice to add to home screen just like native without forcing the consumer to download just to view content. for more information please see this article http://appwizardstudio.com/mobile-web-apps-vs-native-apps

Mobile Web Apps are web based mobile sites that can be updated and edited in real time and the changes happen instantly. On an iPhone our Mobile Web Apps have the look and feel of native without having to pay iTunes fees to submit and wait weeks for approval. When an iPhone user scans a QR Code or visits the clients website, they are automatically redirected to the Mobile Web App and prompted to add the shortcut and icon to their home screen and can be accessed anytime just like the apps from iTunes and the customer is not forced to download the businesses App just to view the content and the consumer has a choice. Studies show that when users are forced to download an app there is a 62% abandonment rate. With our mobile web apps you get the best of both worlds, both providing content & allowing users to add icons to their home screen for quick mobile access to content.
You can charge your customers any price you want. Typically, our resellers charge their clients From $197.00 to $1,400.00 for design and setup, then $49.00 -$149.00 per month when their clients include the marketing platform & reputation management system that come with all apps you build.

When a reseller decides to cancel his membership, what happens to the apps that have been created? Will the business owners lose their apps?
We are a hosting company and par the fees we charge monthly are dedicated for hosting the apps as well as training, software development, upgrade maintenance & Support.
If a reseller cancels their subscription we cannot continue to provide hosting, support & upgrade to your clients apps for FREE and indefinitely. Consequently You should also be charging your customers a recurring monthly or yearly fee that should more than cover your monthlyplatform Fees . For this reason we do not recommend selling any App for a 1 time design fee. If you set your Mobile App Business up right and use smart recurring billing, you should never have an issue in covering your monthly Platform fees . There are few business opportunities out there that are in this much demand and afford this much profit margins with recurring income potential. We should like to think that any potential reseller considering starting a Mobile App Business should be in it for the long haul and build their business on a solvent forward thinking structure. Should you decide to cancel you account all apps will say "Account on Hold" on each app. This is no different than if you hosted sites on hostgator or godaddy, should you cancel services with them you would not expect them to keep your website accounts on their system for FREE & indefinitely.
On the Enterprise Package All your Apps can say yourdomain.mobi/joespizza or yourdomain.mobi/yourcutomersappname instead of the 1tap.mobi/joespizza this allows you to brand all your apps by default to your business name.

Jared Leto Felt Like Destroying Something Beautiful. Well, Beautiful To Him
By Jodi Clager | Industry | November 29, 2012 |
By Jodi Clager | Industry | November 29, 2012 |
Jared Leto. Dude. Hiring Terry "Just The Tip" Richardson to photograph your weight loss for the movie The Dallas Buyer's Club is indulgent and kind of gross. I imagine Uncle Terry asked you to sit on his lap and talk about the first thing that came up. That guy is just grotesque. I understand why you did it. Matthew McConaughey is getting all of the press for his weight loss as Ron Woodruff and you wanted your miniscule slice of the emaciated pie.
Leto is playing a cross-dresser with HIV, which also explains his lack of eyebrows. You need to be able to draw those bitches on without hair getting in your way. I fully expect Leto to follow up his weight gain for Chapter 27 (which Richardson also lovingly documented) and then his weight loss for this movie with a role where he goes full method with breast implants. It's all about the craft.

I am passionate about family, business and beauty; each for their own reasons. Family is what gives life substance and meaning. Where would we be without family? Business is fascinating to me. I am fascinated with the different types of businesses, the people behind them and how they operate and market themselves. Beauty is what inspires me to love, understand and let go. Each of the three completes me and my life without either feels empty.
To fulfill this need to create, market and give, each month I draw attention to a business and an artist that I feel passionate about on the home page of my website. There is no real criterion to the selection. The business owner or artist has to be passionate about what they do and doing it with compassion, integrity and in good nature.
This month I will begin blogging about each business chosen but first wanted to take a minute to reflect on the passionate people that I have highlighted in the past few months.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
If I am only redirecting 6 pages including home page, will google still have problems with it? Can anyone tell me the pros and cons? Thanks so much!
Isn't there a way to get a Windows server to parse .html pages as .asp? I know you can do similar with Apache and an .htaccess file. Then you wouldn't have to bother with all these re-directs. Maybe you should be asking this over in our Microsoft Related - .NET and ASP [webmasterworld.com] forum.
RSS feeds are usually XML-type files that reside separately from your HTML. They generally duplicate the content of your site so you wouldn't want them crawled by the SEs necessarily. If you have the RSS files on your server that should be enough for the services that access them.

*"There is a story about a college professor who was teaching a class about time management and setting priorities. He arrived at his classroom, cleared his desk except a quart Mason jar, a quart of rocks, a pint of pebbles, and a pint of sand along with a pint of water in another jar. Finally, he put a beer can on his desk.
When the students arrived, he began his lecture by asking the students of the Mason jar could hold all the materials sitting on the desk. He began pouring the water and sand into the Mason jar. He commented that the water represented wasted time each day, and the sand represented many of the small diversions that we are caught up in on an everyday basis.
Then he added the pebbles that represented those things that we ought to do, but put them off for something else more interesting. Then he added the rocks that represented the major priorities that we need to attend to each day. Finally, he added some water. When he finished, the Mason jar could hold the water, sand, pebbles, and only a few of the rocks, but not all.
He next brought an identical jar, and materials. This time he put the rocks in first, then the pebbles. He shook the jar to distribute the pebbles filling in the spaces between the rocks. Then the sand and again shook the jar. Finally, he poured the water in which filtered down through all the other materials. When you organize your day according tho priorities, you can make everything fit.
One of the students asked about the beer, and the professor replied it was there to remind you to enjoy life." ~Anon

Big Ten leaders want to be part of Penn State athletic department investigation
The Big Ten Conference wants to know more about the Penn State athletic program.
Associated Press
The council also said it will review the grand jury reports and examine how they relate to Penn State's "institutional control, ethical conduct and/or other compliance related issues."
Ultimately, Penn State faces sanctions or other discipline from the Big Ten, the statement said.
Sandusky faces more than 50 charges of child sex abuse. The most recent grand jury report was released Wednesday and included allegations that Sandusky abused two boys he got to know through the charity he founded for at-risk boys. Sandusky was arrested Wednesday and posted bail Thursday.
The Big Ten council expressed its "sincere concern" for any of the children or families impacted by the allegations brought up against Sandusky and explained how it remains committed to examining its respective institutions to ensure the ongoing safety of children.
The council didn't make any hard conclusions regarding the Sandusky case, but explain a concern surrounding the university's lack of institutional control.
"There does appear to be sufficient information to raise significant concerns as to whether a concentration of power in a single individual or program may have threatened or eroded institutional control of intercollegiate athletics at Penn State," the statement read.
Last month, child sex-abuse charges were filed against Sandusky following a two-year grand jury investigation.
Penn State has since fired former football coach Joe Paterno and former president Graham Spanier. Athletic director Tim Curley, currently under suspension, has been charged with perjury.
Earlier this week, NCAA president Mark Emmert told reporters that the NCAA has yet to begin a formal investigation of the school, and is conducting an inquiry.
On Nov. 21, Penn State named ex-FBI director Louis Freeh to an investigative panel tasked with an independent investigation. Retired Retired Air Force Col. and astronaut Guion Bluford — a Penn State graduate — also is on the panel.
Nick Baumgardner covers Michigan sports for AnnArbor.com. He can be reached at 734-623-2514, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com and followed on Twitter @nickbaumgardner.

Reprehensible conduct. Criminal cover up from Paterno through the AD right up to the school president and the local police. If it was a conspiracy to steal money they could be prosecuted under the Ricco standards. It was a conspiracy to cover up child rape and as an effect let the rapist continue to molest children. In someways worse than murder. Molested children always face years if not a lifetime of shame, pain, and confusion about relationships. Many face a lifetime of mental illness and suffering. In some ways worse than murder.

Should have left it at 10 and not let Penn St. join. Not the image we need.

That's it B1G, pile on.
Thu, Dec 8, 2011 : 9:37 p.m.
50 charges and still granted bail. Seems like after . . . . say the second someone might think it not a good idea.
Thu, Dec 8, 2011 : 9:23 p.m.
If you remember, the University of Michigan hired a law firm to conduct the investigation of NCAA violations by the football team under Rodriquez. Why? Because they could hide all of their evidence and findings under attorney/client priviliege. I wonder if Louis Freeh is also working for a law firm? If that is true, they do not want the Big 10 to participate because it will screw up their A/C privilege.

ExAblate Neuro (also referred to as MR-guided focused ultrasound or focused ultrasound ablation), is a non-incisional approach to traditional surgery. By combining ultrasound technology and magnetic resonance (MR), doctors can use ultrasound technology to target tissue deep in the body without incisions or radiation. Swedish is the first in the Pacific Northwest to offer this technology, and the most experienced in treating essential tremor with non-surgical techniques including treating over 700 patients with Gamma Knife. This technology is now one of three treatment options available to treat essential tremor in patients who have not responded to medication.
With focused ultrasound, multiple intersecting beams of ultrasound energy are focused on to a precise spot of diseased tissue. The resulting heating of the tissue causes destruction of a targeted area, similar to how beams of light from a magnifying glass can burn a hole in a leaf. The treatment destroys targeted cells without damaging the adjacent area.
The procedure takes place within an MRI scanner equipped with a high-energy ultrasound transducer helmet – which allows doctors to target the area using the ultrasound with great accuracy. The patient usually goes home the same day. Focused ultrasound uses a non-incisional approach promoting fast recovery times for the patient.

VANDERHOOF, B.C. — A logging truck driver in British Columbia was taken by surprise when he saw four legs sticking out of the snow off the side of a road.
Wayne Rowley, 54, said he was driving down a forest service road near Vanderhoof last Thursday when what appeared to be a set of moose's legs in the snow caught his eye.
He pulled over to find a calf buried upside down in the snow and at first, Rowley said he thought it was dead.
"It lifted its head and looked and me and I thought, 'Oh, I guess I've got to dig you out of here,'" he said.
The region had just received a dump of about a metre of snow, Rowley said.
He grabbed a shovel and put a rope around the moose's neck to keep it still while he dug it out.
"You've got be careful with moose because they'll kick you," he said.
The animal was shivering and Rowley suspected it may have been going into hypothermia.
He called a colleague who had been driving ahead of him and failed to notice the moose to help him get the animal back on its feet.
Once it was right-side up again, he said the moose appeared a bit stunned.
"He just kind of shook himself and he put his ears forward and then he put his ears back."
Rowley said he's over six feet tall and the moose, although young, was about as tall as him.
He freed the rope from the moose's neck and after a moment, it walked onto the road and "away he went," Rowley said.

Me! Why was I gone for a while? No internet connection! :(
No internet isn't the end of the world, but I did notice how much I actually use it. Anyway, I did continue with my Untrieds. There are some polishes I never wore, because I thought I hated them, but wearing them changed my mind!
When I wanted to put them on my laptop I THOUGHT I dragged them to a folder and deleted them. But instead I didn't drag anything to the folder and deleted the pictures. When I found out it was too late already. So I'm gonna swatch them and show you what I wore this past week. I hope to post that tomorrow :)
Also, my birthday giveaway is coming soon! So keep checking in once in a while to see if I posted it already.

Long time no see!
A lot of things were going on during the past months, that made my mood and inspiration go down the drain. To top that, my nails were very weak at that point, so I decided to take a long break not only from blogging but from polishing my nails as well.
Now I'm back and even though summer is typically over, here in Greece it's very hot and sunny, so I'm still in a very colorful mood!
Before we even move on to the pictures, just let me say this.
1. I love gradients even though they're a real pain to clean up.
2. I love line work, geometric shapes and aztec prints on nails and there are so many nail artists out there that I admire just for that!
So after that being said and the title of the post, I guess you can see where this is going..
Here we go..
For this look I started off with two coats of white nail polish as a base, so that the colors I'd use on top of it would pop and applied a fast drying top coat. We need our base to be completely dry before we start "sponging" the color on. Then I took a make up sponge, cut it in a square shape and made it as smooth as possible for the polish to apply evenly. I chose very bright and neon colors for this almost tie dye looking gradient effect, randomly placed them on the sponge (see picture below) and dabbed it onto my nails. After the first layer had dried I did a second layer, reapplying nail polish on the sponge after each use, to get a more intense look. Wherever I felt like I needed more color, I just used small pieces of the sponge to apply the nail polish and topped it again with a fast drying top coat for an even finish.
This is what my nails looked like after the clean up.
PS: You could also leave your nails like this if you like. It still looks very beautiful.
However, I chose to keep going..
After the messy part was over, I took a long bristle nail art brush, that I had trimmed to be very thin and used white acrylic paint to do my line work. Keep in mind that brushes with very long bristles help us to make very straight and long lines, compared to short bristle brushes that are better for smaller details. Once that was dry, I used fast drying top coat (Again!) to seal everything.
All in all this was quite a time consuming design, but I believe it's fun, eye catching and well worth a try. Feel free to leave comments with your thoughts! :)

Seventeen - 103
Orly - Purple Crush
Orly - Risky Behavior
Orly - Key Lime Twist

DJ Danger Mouse Leads Underground Animals
Published: 2007-01-02
Email this article
Print this article
DJ Danger Mouse is collaborating with a slew of other animals in 2007 for the animated music project the Underground Animals.
Brian Joseph Burton AKA Danger Mouse rose to fame on the back of his legendary mash-up album the Grey Album which combined Jay Z's Black Album with the Beatle's White Album to create the textbook album for album mash-ups.
In 2005 he produced the second Gorillaz album
Demon Days
which earned him a Grammy nod for producer of the year. This year he and rapper Cee-Lo came together to form the ever-experimental duo Gnarls Barkley who's hit single "Crazy" graced top 40 charts all over the world.
So far his newest project the Underground Animals has been shrouded in secrecy revealing only that the project will be an animated project similar to the Gorillaz with each of the producers on the record taking on an alter animated ego with a "robust" back story.
The record will be released by Downtown Records and co-founder Josh Deutsch told Billboard.com, that for the first album each song will feature different producer working with a different artists, "There will be an element of mystery about it -- certain producers will be retired," he continues. "And many of these people are some of the most famous producers out there. It will allow them to produce the kinds of records they wouldn't necessarily want to do without the benefit of a pseudonym. We've already had a really A-list rock guy wanting to do a hip-hop record."
Next year Danger Mouse may also release another Gnarls Barkley album, but meanwhile the current one
St. Elsewhere
will be up for multiple Grammys this February.

Good seafood might seem like it'd be tricky in a town known more for steakhouses that beckon bachelor parties and hefty expense accounts. But for the rest of us, nothing beats the superb fish of a Forbes five-star resort, expertly prepared by an Amalfi Coast–trained chef.
Enter Allegro and its Naples-born chef, Enzo Febbraro. The seafood maestro first came to the US when he was asked to cook for the Grammy Awards dinner in 1996; now he comes to Vegas from Washington, DC, where he ran D'Acqua Ristorante—and cooked for two presidents. At Wynn, he serves up Neapolitan classics such as zuppa di pesce like the natural he is. "I was born and raised on the water," Febbraro says. "I've been preparing Mediterranean seafood, from sea urchin to spiny lobster, scorpion fish—you name it—all my life."
The risotto pescadora in particular is a seafood lover's dream, rich with shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, and clams. And the briny aroma and unctuous flavor of the new-for-fall sea urchin pasta are memorable enough to have true connoisseurs returning again and again. "The easiest way to define my style of seafood cooking is 'sophistication through simplicity,'" he says. "Get the best quality ingredients and let them speak for themselves."
But it's not just the seafood and perfectly prepared Italian classics—including melt-in-your-mouth cannelloni and baked lasagna Napoletana (with a smoked mozzarella that adds a heady accent to a familiar dish), and a cheese plate with a standout house-made burrata—that are bringing diners back for more. Allegro's late-night menu (served until 6 am) has fast become a post-club Strip destination. Menu favorites include a burger made with some of Vegas's best meatballs (a fusion of beef, pork, and sausage), which can also be served with their classic partner, spaghetti, for those with a few more martinis to soak up.
Allegro also gets extra credit for one final bonus: a wower of an off-menu specialty. Call ahead for Febbraro's whole turbot fish in a salt crust and impress the kitchen—and your date. Wynn Las Vegas, 702-770-7000

Motorola Droid RAZR was announced in October 2011 and released on month later, in November. The smartphone manufactured by the US-based company stands out with its Kevlar body and its profile of only 7.1 mm recommends it as one of the thinnest smartphones currently available on the market.
Motorola Droid RAZR boasts a TI OMAP 4430 chipset with dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 GPU and PowerVR SGX540 GPU, 16 GB of internal storage expandable using a microSD card (16 GB card included) and 1 GB of RAM. The terminal packs a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display with 540 x 960 pixels and Gorilla Glass protection, 1,780 mAh battery with up to 12 hours of talk time, 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash, image stabilization and full HD video recording and a front-facing 2 megapixel camera with HD video recording.
Motorola Droid RAZR measures 130.7 x 68.9 x 7.1 mm and weighs in 127 grams and at the time it hit the market it was on of the slimmest smartphones in the world. In terms of connectivity, the smartphone that once was the flagship of Motorola's line-up comes with WiFi in all standards, Bluetooth, microUSB, 3.5 mm audio jack, 3G, and 4G LTE support.
It comes pre-loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but you can upgrade it as high as Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Fortunately, you will be able to install custom ROMs based on the latest Android releases, but in order to flash third party ROMs you will have to gain root access to your device.
The root tutorials at Android.gs are all fully functional, as our writers have tested each solution, therefore feel free to try any of the ones listed below. You should also know that after rooting your Motorola Droid RAZR the phone warranty will get voided, but you can restore it anytime by simply installing an official firmware. We also recommend you to closely follow all the instructions in the tutorials, including the pre-requisites or guideline info in order not to risk bricking your device.By Alex Dumitru

Whitney before
This is the first of short daily insights I will post on 22c+. These will mostly cover news events, and ongoing issues related to the development of our species and the world.
What happened to Whitney Houston? Blessed with a model's good looks, a soaring, angelic voice and spectacular international success, she didn't "almost have it all" - she had it all! Well, at least in terms of the measuring stick of the human ego.
So what happened?
As regular readers of this blog and my books will know, I am an intuitive. I read consciousness fields. When I look at Whitney Houston's psyche there are some obvious "messages" coming through. The following is the essence of what her spirit is saying. I use the present tense because this is the energy as it exists now.
I am so tired. I just want to go home (to Heaven). I can't take this any more. Please, just let me go. I'm sorry (esp. to mother). I wasn't good enough. I couldn't do it right. I can't go on. There's no point living anymore. Everything is empty, tired, pointless. I give up. I want to escape. I feel so ashamed of myself. I'm a bad person. I'm just too tired.
Whitney after
So Whitney Houston gave up on life, and on herself.
Her drug habit had a lot to do with her downfall, as has been widely reported. There are a lot of people in alternative and New Age circles who believe that certain drugs are harmless or even beneficial. I am not one of them. While the occasional use of certain drugs may give insight, any habitual use is harmful to the psyche and to your consciousness field. Apparently Whitney did crack like there was no tomorrow (and now there is no tomorrow for her, at least not round these parts). And despite popular mythology that it is a 'light' drug, marijuana is one drug I would stay well away from. Its effect on the energy field and brain makes chronic users susceptible to depression, and a magnet for dark energy. Apparently marjijuana was one of the drugs Whitney abused.
Overall the biggest problem with drugs is that they can kill the zest for life by creating dissociation from the body, and from the present moment. And as I have said many times, presence is the key to spiritual fulfilment, not psychic, psychadelic and visionary trips.
Does this mean that Whitney killed herself deliberately? Not necessarily. When we give up on ourselves and our lives, the spirit will often find a way to check out. Whitney wanted to escape. But there is no escape, not even in death. Consciousness - and shame - follows you wherever you go. The demons pursue you until you have the courage to turn and face them.

Grand Theft Auto Online's Spring Update is Detailed
Find out what's in store for you and your friends when Grand Theft Auto 5's GTA Online multiplayer mode gets updated this spring.
Rockstar Games has sent out an update that gives us the details on what kinds of things to expect from the spring update. For starters, there's the Capture Creator that will allow the Creator community to make their own, customized Capture Jobs and pop them up onto the Social Club.
The High Life update gives players access to new high-end apartments, the Bullpup Rifle, new clothes, the Dinka Thrust motorcycle, the Super class Pegassi Zentorno and other powerful vehicles meant for the rich and swanky. The update also adds multi-property ownership, meaning that players can own two distinct properties simultaneously. Oh, and the new Mental State player statistic lets you see just how stable a player's mind can be.
Heist Missions will allow players to gather a Crew to take on jobs that will end (hopefully), with some fattened wallets. Look out for this update this spring.

History may be a harsh judge of the way this country has compromised civil liberties and expanded executive power in the fearful days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
At least I hope it will.
Because if it doesn't, we will have accepted a new normal in which it's all right for the government to routinely get secret orders in a non-adversarial court to vacuum up vast stores of information about our lives.
We'll have turned away from the torture and indefinite detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay prison, somehow accepting that it's not a problem for this country to keep people behind bars forever without a trial.
It's all, you see, in the name of national security.
This weekend, Colorado's Sen. Mark Udall appeared on "Meet The Press" and made an important point when he said: "It doesn't have to be all or nothing."
He's right. It's time to push back on some of the powers ceded to the executive branch in the Patriot Act and its subsequent revisions.
Udall is not talking about gutting the Patriot Act or anything even close, and neither am I.
A bill that Udall is proposing with Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden would beef up a generic relevancy test the court has established for government acquisition of "business records."
Those business records include phone call metadata — that's a highly revealing compilation of times, places and participants in phone calls, but not the content of the call.
The Udall bill would require data to be directly connected to a terrorism or espionage investigation before the government could get it.
The goal is to ensure the government isn't casting a giant net that ensnares the calls of millions of Americans who are merely going about their daily lives.
"What I'm proposing is to limit that collection in a way that keeps faith with the Fourth Amendment," Udall said Sunday.
It's a good idea. Interestingly, the same revision Udall is proposing passed the Senate in 2005 during one of the reauthorizations of the Patriot Act, but was left out of the final bill.
But we know more now than we did then, right?
In recent weeks there have been stunning revelations about the amount of data the government is amassing with the blessing of a secret court created by the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
It's particularly disturbing when you realize the FISA court was supposed to protect us.
Congress created the court after President Richard Nixon was driven to resign, and the nation learned of his warrantless spying on Americans via the National Security Agency, the FBI and the CIA.
The court was intended to establish oversight and prevent abuses without compromising national security.
Since 9/11, the legislation creating the court has been revised, giving more power to the executive branch in order to protect us from terrorists.
The maddening element is that it's hard to tell whether the court is doing its job interpreting the legislation because of, you know, the secrecy.
Last year, Udall and Wyden wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking the administration to release the FISA court's interpretation of parts of the Patriot Act. They contend most Americans would be "stunned" to learn how the court has interpreted national security law.
So far, that has gone nowhere.
Meanwhile, a good bit of the history of this nation's response to terrorism is being written by judges who are issuing orders behind closed doors carried out by a shadowy but vast intelligence complex.
Every now and then, a piece of the puzzle falls into the light and we get a sense of the enormity of what is being undertaken.
This approach is explained as necessary to fight terrorism, but let's keep in mind the threat of foreign aggression has long been a justification for expanded executive power.
In 1787, Founding Father James Madison warned: "The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home."
Those words have stood the test of time, but I'm not sure the nation's executive response to terrorism will fare as well.
