Greetings, dear followers of the still-happily-Unwed Sailor. If you’ll notice, below, four out of the past five news updates have been made to announce new tour dates. So, to further keep you on the edge of your seats with this site’s relentless spontaneity, I am happy to announce another round of new and revised dates! We are setting new standards for all other bands on earth. You think your band tours a lot? Well, good sir or ma’am, whichever you may be, you must be living in some sort of alternate reality, where petty things like “sanity” and “rest” exist. So be proud, my minions. We are followers of a winning team!…or something really great and inspiring like that. Now go look at the dates.


I've stumbled on Anime-Planet since its early days and sadly, I was mostly absent through its developing/growing stages. I'm back and trying to be as active as I can. No promises tho :p
Anyway, about this old coot. I'm not as old as everyone makes it to be although I already feel that I am. I'm a senior here at NJIT and anime/manga has always been a long time hobby of mine along with photography. I enjoy a wide variety of genre from all action mecha to bleeding sappy romance :p Haven't had that much time to watch anime so I've been reading up on manga instead and it's quite enjoyable as watching anime.
Well this it for this bio for now. Can't think of anything else to put here. I can't even fill up the top 5 since my old noggin is still missing it's early morning chocolate milk. I'll try to keep it short next time :]


The B1 is WIBRAIN’s 4.8-inch UMPC prototype for business customers made for the Korean market. It sports a cool new look with the QWERTY keyboard divided on both sides of the screen. The ultra mobile PC is powered by a VIA C7M ULV processor and features an integrated 3 megapixel webcam, a 1024×600 touchscreen display, Bluetooth 2.0, and 802.11b/g WiFi.
It measures 192 x 82 x 28mm and weighs in at 490 grams. Plus it provides quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE network as well as the high-speed HSDPA (3.5G) connectivity. You can see a video here. If you’re like me, you are salivating just looking at this thing. I love the design and it looks like it would be very comfortable to use. Let’s hope that it ends up being more then just a prototype.

Four Corners, Meteor Crater
Tuesday, January 9, 2001
Today, the good weather finally leaves us: We visit Four Corners (the only point in the USA where the borders of four states meet) in wind and rain, and then drive through Monument Valley in thick fog and snow, so we don't see anything at all of the scenery.
This allows us to spend plenty of time at Meteor Crater in Arizona - a huge bowl 170 meters deep and about 1 km across that was carved into the desert by a meteorite 50.000 years ago. The museum is interesting - lots of information on meteorites, comets and the Apollo program (the astronauts trained in the crater for the moon missions).
We spend the night in a motel in Flagstaff and hope that we'll be luckier with the weather tomorrow.

Well, after 3 weeks, my son Josh may have his zero turn Cub Cadet back soon. Lots of things have been stolen in our county recently, and an ex-cop had his trailer stolen a while back. He did his own digging and has been answering ads for trailers for sale. When he went to look at one, it was HIS trailer. When he got the Sheriff there, they found 2 or 3 zero turns inside the garage. Going by some descriptions Josh gave them about little things he had changed on his mower, they are pretty certain it is Josh's mower. He has to go identify it for sure.
So this rash of thefts in our area may be ended! For now at least we can feel a little better, but ya can never let your guard down! This stolen stuff was only about 2 miles from us!
It was stolen the night before my plow day, and only discovered the morning of plow day, so it took some of the fun out of the event for me, and completely destroyed Josh's mood!


Dofollow and nofollow link is a important matter for any blog. Because these two type links make your blog rank up or down. About all beginners get worry to add dofollow link or nofollow link in their blogger blog. Even they think that if they add a external link in their site, their site rank will be down. But it is a false thought about adding a link in a site. Because if you add your all external links as nofollow, then your site rank will not be down. Again to add dofollow link among of all internal links in your site is a good practice for SEO. It is on page seo which improve your site performance in search engine.
What is dofollow link?
Now the question is that what is dofollow link. Specially dofollow link is a such type of link in which search engine can enter and crawl. It express by a HTML tag. We see the HTML attribute of a simple link like bellow-
Bloggermaking
But the real HTML tag for a dofollow link like bellow tag-
Bloggermaking
But to add dofollow link in a blogger blog you needn’t to add the above html tag. The all internal link of a blogger site are as dofollow link. It is set as default in blogger blog.
What is nofollow link?
Nofollow link is such type a link in which the search engine robot can’t access or can’t crawl. It indicates by a html tag like bellow attribute-
Bloggermaking
For all external link you should add nofollow attribute. It will help you to reduce your page rank. The above html markup disallow the search engine robot to access the nofollow link.
How to add dofollow link in Blogger
1) First select your display text in which you want to add dofollow link.
2) Then click on the link button from menu bar then you will see a popup window like the following image.
3) Now paste your link address in the web address box and finally click on ‘OK’.
4) You are done to add dofollow link in your blog now.
How to add nofollow link in Blogger
1) It is a similar work like adding dofollow link in your site that we written above. Just follow the steps from 1-3.
2) Now select “Add ‘rel=nofollow’ attribute” and click on ‘OK’ button. Your nofollow link will be added.
You can check your link if they have added as dofollow or nofollow link. Just turn your posting page in HTML mode to see it. You can not see ‘rel=dofollow’ attribute in HTML mode for all dofollow link in blogger. You will see that as a simple link. But don’t worry, Google accept these all internal link as doffollow if you haven’t added these as nofollow.

What?! Just because it caused billions of dollars and man-hours worth

I'd be inclined to suggest throwing standard exceptions everywhere they
could possibly be applicable.
With respect to STL, I'm not familiar with the details of what throws
and what doesn't, and I strongly support your stance on array bounds
checking, I'm not entirely sure that's a design error. Allowing some
flexibility in the matter is good too. In the past I implemented a set
of collection classes, similar to STL but not based on templates (this
started in the days when templates weren't standardized and STL was
still in its infancy, and yes, that means there was some serious macro
juju being done) and I implemented the checks at the higher levels and
kept lower-level functionality (private internal methods) check-free to
avoid checking when it wasn't necessary (i.e., you already knew the
index was safe, etc). While std::vector _is_ an end-user class and
therefore exposes "unsafe" operators, perhaps this is the thinking
behind it _not_ doing bounds checking. I'm just shooting in the dark
Even today, performance is still an issue. Checking is imperative but
if an array index is checked several times between the call at the
"user" level and the lowest-level operation that actually does the work,
that's a serious problem too.


Jazz siblings such as Monty and Larry Alexander; Jimmy, Percy and Tootie Heath, and of course, George and Ira Gershwin share a unique bond of family and music kinship. It's even more unique to learn how a set of twins that grew up in an environment surrounded by jazz music, have earned a PHD in Physics and a Masters in Mathematics, have pursued their true fraternal love: Jazz music. With brothers Louis on acoustic bass and Francois on drums, their music is now reborn and thankfully presented to jazz enthusiasts here in the U.S. Their new CD entitled Power Tree
which was released in France a few years with much deserved acclaim, is a powerful testament to the talent and creativity of a unique jazz kinship.
The Reunion Quartet is completed with the addition of equally talented musicians Baptiste Trotignon on piano and Sylvain Beuf on tenor and soprano saxophone. The music is at once captivating and soulful. Steeped in the roots of swing and groove, it is also a modern work of art with vision and self identity. It's contemplative, entertaining, and cool, with a deep sense of power and purpose. The CD contains a mixture of original compositions by the brothers, selections by French singer Georges Brassens, and a unique bass/drum duet version of the famous standard, "La Vie en Rose".
Francois is a dynamo of a bassist and is also the bassist with the stellar Jean-Michel Pilc Trio, also on the Dreyfus Jazz label. His bass sings and swings with much spirit. His playing and writing wizardry is displayed on the composition "Africa" which opens with a powerful bass solo. Drummer and percussionist Francois is equally adept as he exhibits command and artistic vision on selections such as "A Batons Rompus" which expresses a sense of swing and freedom. Sylvian Beuf on tenor, alto, and soprano sax is a most serious sax man. His solos and phrasings are a show of controlled intensity, smooth animation, and soulful creativity. Pianist Baptiste Trotignon has spirit and soul in the vein of Hancock and Tyner. A prime example is exhibited on his dynamic solo on Brassens selection "Je M'Suis Fait Tout P'tit". It is truly delightful to experience the musical bond and now gift of gratifying jazz by the Moutin Brothers and their Reunion Quartet. Highly Recommended.

Publicado: 09 August 2020
The Palestinian refugee question, resulting from the events surrounding the birth of the state of Israel seventy years ago, remains one of the largest and most protracted refugee crises of the post-WWII era. Numbering over six million in the Middle East alone, Palestinian refugees’ status varies considerably according to the state or territory ‘hosting’ them, the UN agency assisting them and political circumstances surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict these refugees are naturally associated with. Despite being foundational to both the experience of the Palestinian refugees and the resolution of their plight, international law is often side-lined in political discussions concerning their fate.
This compelling new book, building on the seminal contribution of the first edition (1998), offers a clear and comprehensive analysis of various areas of international law (including refugee law, human rights law, humanitarian law, the law relating to stateless persons, principles related to internally displaced persons, as well as notions of international criminal law), and probes their relevance to the provision of international protection for Palestinian refugees and their quest for durable solutions.
1. Introduction: genesis of the Palestinian refugee issue
2. Palestinian refugees: a distinct international regime
3. Palestinian refugees in UNRWA’s area of operations
4. Palestinian Diaspora around the world: status and legal treatment
5. Palestinian refugees in the realm of international law
6. The evolution in international protection of Palestinian refugees: the role of UNRWA, UNHCR, and other multilateral organizations
7. The search for a just and durable solution

A single person can start business, but even a small business can be done better if initiated with partner. There are many creative small business ideas to try. Married couple can serve as great partnership when it comes to opening business; you already know each other very well, and will have no trouble in being brutally honest to one another when it comes to business talk. Married couple can adopt professional stands when it comes to starting a business, and support each other just like in partnership.
However, choosing the business type is also important. There are several great small business ideas married couple can start, some even require very little capitals.
5 Popular Small Business Ideas for Married Couple
Want to run a business with your mate? Here are 5 small business ideas that married couple can start together:
- Bed and breakfast. The popularity of traveling has made this business surges in popularity, especially in popular tourist destinations. You can provide bed and breakfast service individually, or using service such as AirBnB. You can divide responsibilities to manage the bed and breakfast based on each of your skills, such as cooking, cleaning, managing supplies, arranging transportation and other related services for tourists, and such.
- Small coffee shop or restaurant. Culinary business requires lots of responsibilities, so you can share responsibilities by working as a couple. You can also use your experiences as married couple to create family-friendly or romantic restaurant theme and atmosphere.
- Newlywed consultation service. Getting married can present new challenges to couples, so if you are confident with your married experiences, you and your mate can start a newlywed consultation service. This can start as a small business at home. However, if you do not have diploma or certificate as a psychologist, make sure to understand the limit of professional advises you can give.
- Travel agency. If you love traveling with your mate, you can apply your skill by opening a travel agency. Your traveling experiences can become insights for providing the best services for tourists. If you already had experiences in traveling as couples or with kids, you can use these experiences to inform new travelers who wish to travel in the same way.
- Wedding planning service. Experiences as married couple can help you when starting a wedding planning service. You can share responsibilities with your mate, and help advising engaged couples about the best options that will have long term effects on their finance after the wedding. You can also develop this business until it becomes a big business.
There are several ups and downs in working as a couple. While you can share responsibilities and work together as partners in solving various business challenges, your personal relationships can be your undoing. Inability to separate personal and professional relationships can result in conflicts of interest, which can disrupt the way you run the business. You must create clear limits between professional and personal relations when running a small business with your mate, and once you do it, you can develop any small business ideas into a profitable enterprise.


YouTube’s Q1 of 2021 Report shows impressive results. It showed a revenue jump of 49%. This, they largely owe, to YouTube creators. That is why the platform enabled new tools to enhance creator support. The platform enabled a pre-published check tool to easily identify any copyright issue. It also added new membership analytics and metrics and timed comments. Today rolls out a new video editing process.
YouTube’s Ads Policy Manager, Conor Kavanagh, announces the new video editing process via the YouTube Weekly Insider. Previously, creators needed to wait for a video to be published before they could edit the video details and put extra information about it. To help them save time, creators can now do the following while a YouTube video is in the process of uploading:
- Add end screens
- Add info cards
- Edit captions
- Place mid-roll ads
The new process can be a big help for creators uploading videos on YouTube daily. This is now live on YouTube Studio.
An extra announcement was also made by Conor on his weekly updates. Shorts will now be available in 23 new countries:
YouTube rolls out a new video editing process on 09 June 2021.
Implications for Marketers:
YouTube’s new video editing process is not necessarily a major update. But it greatly streamlines the workflow process within the platform. For marketers, being able to add mid-roll video ads during the uploading can save time for planning marketing strategies on YouTube. Together with the expansion of Shorts to 23 new countries, these YouTube updates can really mean a lot to reach out to the target audience on the video-sharing platform.


The headline seems contradictory. Is Christianity without the Gospel possible? It depends on how we define Christianity. If becoming a Christian is about salvation, being born-again and following Jesus, then there is no Christianity without the Gospel. If, on the other side, we view Christianity as a cultural heritage, an institutional religion or a religious doctrine, then there is not much room or need for the Gospel.
We hear much today about the threat against Christianity. Many look at the secularized western society with laws that disregard the Bible, while others cite the advancement of Islam as our major threat. We are encouraged to fight against these forces of secularism and false religion if Christianity is to survive. Books, magazines, and articles are published and sermons are preached where the world around us is described in negative terms. We are fighting immorality, corruption, and secularization. The solution according to many writers is more Christian unity, more “spiritual warfare” and more “unity.” If only all churches could come together and come into agreement, stand united, then we would be strong and have a chance, and maybe revival would come.
If Christianity is about tradition and western culture built on Judeo-Christian principles, then the above reasoning is, of course, correct. This rationality leaves little or no expectation or faith in the power of the Gospel. If Christianity is simply about our efforts to unite and fight evil, what really then is Christianity? In fact, those who question the survival of Christianity, with that question, are actually demonstrating their lack of understanding. Those who believe in the power of the Gospel are not concerned about the survival of a religious form, but our concern is that the Gospel would have “free course.” We know that the Gospel is God’s power and it shall be preached to all nations (Matt. 24:14). If only the Gospel is given room, it contains the life of God and it will prevail.
The important thing is to be born-again.
Christianity without the Gospel is not Christianity at all, and it is not worth fighting for. The Greek word “evaggelio” means “good news” or “glad tidings.” What is this message of good news and glad tidings? It is that God was in Christ and put the world’s sins on Jesus; the world was then reconciled to God through what Jesus did on the cross (2 Cor. 5:18-19; Rom 5:10). Jesus solved the world’s sin problem – He died and rose again. He is now alive and all those who receive Him, receive power to become God’s children. When we turn from self-sufficiency to receiving the Good News of what Jesus has done, we are born-again. Those who receive Jesus become new creations; the nature of righteousness and love comes into us. Then the Gospel has victorious power in itself to transform both the individual and the society.
We are not fighting for a cultural heritage or a tradition - it is the Gospel we are fighting for.
The great question is if we are born-again, or not. The message of grace is simply an offer to the entire world to receive what Jesus has done. And when we receive it, we are recipients of a new life. Muslims need to be born-again. Buddhists, Hindus, Shintoists, Atheists, and especially Christians need to be born-again. We are not fighting for a cultural heritage or a tradition - it is the Gospel we are fighting for.
Our hope with Global Grace Network.
Our hope with the Global Grace Network is that many will rise up across the world to take up the battle against the deceptive, merit-based religion that focuses on human performance. Neither human wisdom, nor legalistic religion has any power in it. The power is in the Good News.
The important word is “Gospel.” As far as we know Jesus never used the words “Christian” or “Christianity.” Instead He spoke much about the Gospel. Paul, Peter and the other disciples continued in that same style. We, on the other hand, hear little about the Gospel, but much about the defense of Christianity. Maybe a renewed focus on the fact that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16), would lead to survival of real Christianity and the salvation of the world.
Moving the pulpit from Sinai to Golgotha.
In this edition of our newsletter we deal with “moving the pulpit from Sinai to Golgotha.” Golgotha represents the Gospel while Sinai represents legalistic performance-oriented religion. As long as the pulpit is at Sinai, we are preaching the requirements and rules, which must be adhered to, in order for God to move. When we preach from Golgotha we are declaring the finished work of Christ, in whom we are identified in His death and resurrection.
Who is preaching in your church this Sunday?
In our seminars I frequently ask pastors: “Who is preaching in your church this coming Sunday?” Then I tell the story of the prodigal son and for a moment I imagine: What if the father was not standing there, looking for the lost son, but instead the older brother was waiting at the door? What message would he have given to the prodigal? There would have been no kiss, hug, fatted calf, ring, or celebration. The prodigal’s humble statement, “I’m not worthy to be called your son,” would have been met with: “You surely aren’t worthy, and don’t even think you are going to enter into father’s house. No, you will be staying with the servants until we can test the validity and sincerity of your heart.” Imagine, how discouraging. Surely the prodigal would have responded: “Yes, I know, I’m unworthy and useless; send me out with the servants.” You see, the father didn’t even allow the prodigal to go through his long, prepared speech of penance and remorse. The father represents Golgotha, while the older brother represents Sinai. Who is preaching in your church this Sunday? Is it the older brother, preaching from the Law of Moses constantly exalting, prioritizing and focusing on human failure and shortcoming? Is there continual emphasis on why people aren’t healed, why families aren’t saved and why revival hasn’t come? Are there constant paths of five steps, seven steps, twelve steps or twenty-five steps to breakthrough and victory proclaimed in your pulpit? Then it is the older brother preaching. The message is from Sinai. When we preach from Golgotha, there is a lavishly loving Heavenly Father with arms wide open, welcoming the lost and despairing son. The message from Sinai has no power to change lives; instead it arouses in us a desire to sin. The message from Golgotha transforms lives.
Christianity from Sinai is Christianity without the Gospel. Move your pulpit to Golgotha. That’s the message that transformed the world 2,000 years ago, and when preached, it will have the same effect once again.Give Your Best Seed HereMy Prayer Request


It’s breaky time again.
For a change we decided that we would go all the way to Vancouver to check out the Dutch style breakfast at the Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe. I still remember having eaten Pannekoek for breakfast when I was in Amsterdam two years ago.
Yeah, I know. Some people tell me that Pannekoek is eaten for lunch and supper, not breakfast in the Netherlands. But to us, it is pancakes and we Canadian eat pancakes for breakfast. 🙂
The Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe is located on Cambie around the intersection with West 17th Ave. It’s easy to spot the restaurant. The outside has this faux Dutch windows with flower boxes.
The inside has a Dutch ambiance and coziness to it. But the place does look old. The dining room are partitioned into three distinct sections giving this large restaurant a small restaurant feel.
I heard that this very Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe is the origin of the De Dutch Pannekoek House franchise that you find all over BC today. So, if you like De Dutch, you should check out the real deal here.
The restaurant has a very homey feel to it. It is haphazardly decorated with wooden clogs, paintings and Dutch posters. Along the wall, they have pictures of their past customers lined on a strip on the wall with cute comments written on them.
We started off with the normal coffee and hot chocolate. However on their menu, they have a half page showing the “GIANT” Coffee Mocha for $4.25. Yeah, they capitalized the word GIANT but at the same time they also put the word GIANT in close inverted commas. It was not in anyway giant, but is sure is “GIANT”. It was quite normal.
There is a large section on the menu dedicated to Pannekoeken (the word Pannekoeken is plural of Pannekoek). We all pestered Nanzaro to agree to get the Pannekoek because we wanted to order something other than Pannekoek. He flip-flopped a few times on what he wanted. First he wanted the Nasi Goreng (fried rice!) Pannekoek. Then he changed his mind to Curry before finally settling on the Cheese Lover’s Special.
The Cheese Lover’s Special has five different type of cheeses … Edam, Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar and Mozzarella. We felt that this is really expensive because to us it is just a thin layer of pancake with 3 slices of tomatoes on top of the cheeses. This one is $12.15. Their other Pannekoeken ranges from $11 to $13.
On every table is quite a large bottle of syrup meant for the pancakes. That all-black bottle stands out and so we had to try it on the pancake.
For me, I had the Nasi Goreng and Eggs ($10). You did not hear this wrong. The name Nasi Goreng is … Continue reading

Two things are certain in this world: good and evil. Amitists believe that their purpose is to promote the cause of good and protection. Life is scared and everything should be done to preserve it.
The fairies at the core of this faith are:
- Ozma the First (law)
- Flash (protection)
- Twighlight (justice)
Amity is considered a old, structured faith followed mostly by Ozma's followers. It is the most predominant religion in Oz. Elaborate temples to Amity freckle the countryside and cities. Prefered offerings include money, weapons, and extensive prayer. The symbol for Amisitm is a shield with feathered wings.
Aminists almost never see eye-to-eye with Lurlinists, who they consider too sympathetic.
Every year the start of summer is marked by the Summer Festival. On this day, towns host parades, hat making contests, pie baking contests and countless contests of physical prowess. Some people practice for months ahead of time and travel from town to town to try and win prizes and glory for their family or hometown.
Twighlight the Fairy was the creator of the Deadly Desert, the killing lands surrounding Oz. This desert protects Oz from all of those who would try to enter, but also keeps the citizens in and safe. While some might consider death an unacceptable punishment, this viewpoint resonates with others.
The Sentinels of the Sand follow the mindset that judgement must be passed and punishment delivered. The Land of Oz grants them the powers through prayer to decide who is worthy.
Everything has its place and should be honored for its contribution. Birth and destruction are all part of a greater cycle, and all things play a part. Magic and life are closely interwoven. There are multiple sides to any story and it is important not to discount something or take it at face value simply because it has been given a label.
The fairies at the core of this faith are:
- Lurline (creation)
- Zurline (life/blood)
- The Sleeping One (death)
Lurlineism is considered an old, pagan faith followed mostly by dark magic users. Devout followers of Lurlineism are suspected to be dark magic users. Places of worship are rare, and usually outdoors near a node of magic. Offerings of food, magic, or blood are appropriate gifts to her. The symbol for Lurlinism is a tree of life.
Currently, it is a fad in the Emerald City to call oneself a Lurlineist, whatever the person's actual level of worship. Many immortals and old witches are Lurlineists.
Lurlinists almost never see eye-to-eye with Aminists, who they consider closed-minded.
Every winter the holiday of Lurlinemas comes around to celebrate the creation of the Land of Oz. Even non-followers celebrate Lurlinemas or at least pay lip service to most of the holiday's traditions.
For a week beforehand, a person gives up a vice of their choosing (alcohol, shopping, travel, fairy dunking, etc.). The fast is considered to be a gesture of thanks to Lurline and other blessings.
The fast ends at sundown on Lurlinemas Eve, when families and communities come together to tell stories (true or not), hang socks (or stockings for Storm Riders), drink wine, and play games. Before bed, people will leave out a shoe with an offering to the Krampus. If the Krampus decides to take your offering, it is considered good luck and a blessing for the coming year. Every so often, the Krampus leaves a token in exchange for the offering.
If children have been particularly naughty, the Krampus will snatch them up and throw them in his sack. They are taken to his castle to work out their childhoods as his slaves.
On Lurlinemas Day, gifts are exchanged and treats are eaten. The day is filled with giving thanks, celebrating life and magic, and wishing your children hadn't been taken away.
Religion gets in the way of science and progression. Even if life was made by the Great Fairy Lurline, everything that came after that was all made by people's hard work and dedication to knowledge. We have people to thank for all that we have.
Tik-tokism is not a religion, but an organized way of thinking. There is no higher power or being to give thanks to, and no ceremony to observe, but rather similarly minded people will get together leisurely and talk about science and progression. While they acknowledge the creation of Oz by the fairies, they also like to point out that the fairies have since abandoned them. The symbol for Tik-tokism is a ten-pronged gear.
Sometimes called the "goody-two-boots" religion, their missionaries can be found knocking on doors all over Oz at all hours.
The struggle between good and evil lies within everyone and everything. It is one's own personal responsibility to guide themselves to do the right thing. Chivalry, honor, and discipline mark the members of this very young faith.
The Unnamed God rules over all and watches all. Blessed are those who devote their lives to praising his name. He will provide for those in his keeping in this world and what lies beyond it.
A reletively new religion, Unionism depicts the original fairies as Saints that served The Unnamed God who created them. Dorothy was considered the most recent Saint, as she performed at least 3 miracles. Most large cities have Unionist cathedrals and missionaries travel the Lands of Oz to spread the good word. The symbol for Unionism is a circle divided once horizontaly and once vertically.
- Duty to Countrymen: virtues such as mercy, courage, valor, fairness, protection of the weak and the poor, and in the servant-hood of the knight to his lord. This also brings with it the idea of being willing to give one's life for another's; whether he would be giving his life for a poor man or his lord.
- Duty to The Unnamed God: this would contain being faithful to him, protecting the innocent, being faithful to the church, being the champion of good against evil, being generous and obeying him above the feudal lord.
- Duty to Yourself: You are responsible for your health, be it physical, mental, or spiritual. While children must be guided, adults must spend as much time as needed keeping themselves of sound body and mind. For some, this takes more time than others; only the Unnamed God can decide if you are worthy of his love.
The only Ozian religion with structured services, Sundays are devoted to The Unnamed God. After visiting the local cathedral to praise his name, it is encouraged to get together with other like-minded people. Good Unionists get together to argue scripture of the Unnamed God. This used to get really heated and often involved duels, but now that those are significantly more serious than before, they have switched to tea.
A knightly order among Unionists, these warriors travel the lands in search of miracles, holy relics, or spiritual enlightenment. They have a very strict code of ethics given to them by their teachers, and are unique to each knight. The challenges given to them are chosen as what the knight must strive for to reach the ultimate goal of Sainthood. They generally have calm demeanors, but are trained to be fearsome warriors when provoked.
Wayfarers believe that they are reincarnated from ancestors and that their memories are available to those who are willing to listen. The mind is an ocean of thoughts, worries, and memories. When a viewer is truely open to their dreams, an ancestor will visit them in their minds and give them a personal quest.
Wayfarers are happy to share their dreams, visions, and memories to those who care to listen. They find peace in interpreting dreams for others. They are staunch pacifists. Their symbol is a snake eating its tail.
There has been a long animosity and distrust of Immortals due to an ancient war between Immortals in which many of the first viewers were accidentally killed when caught in the crossfire. The shadows of the memories are passed on to help Wayfarers remember.


I'm off to Queensland tomorrow for my Cousin's Wedding, so you won't be hearing from me until Sunday.
This is the card I made for Justine and her new hubby-to-be, James. I always make Wedding cards and baby cards with a recipient in mind. It doesn't seem right to keep them in stock, and something about these major life events makes me want to sit down and make a card to mark the occasion.
This was a tricky one to photograph, with all the embossing. I started by wheeling a piece of Brushed Silver Cardstock with 'Leaves a la Carte' Jumbo wheel in Versamark ink. I sprinkled silver embossing powder over it, and heat-embossed. Something about embossing adds instant elegance! I attached this to a layer of Buckaroo Blue (retiring In Colour), and then to my Whisper White card base. Then I mounted a panel of Whisper White and Buckaroo Blue. I've used the floral emblem from Carte Postale, and had lots of fun cutting and punching various layers, and finished off with a Rhinestone brad in the centre (these will be available in our new catalogue on April 1!). The word 'love' has been stamped in Versamark on a strip of vellum, so you can see the scroll motif stamped behind it. I know the bridesmaids are in blue, which is why I chose that colour. I hope they like it!

AMHERST, Mass.-Mark Marshall and Helen Leung, professors of chemistry at Amherst College, are among the authors of a recent paper that explored the bond between the hydroxyl radical (HO) and water (H2O). In a recent issue of Chemical & Engineering News it was reported that "Atmospheric chemists, in particular, find H2O-HO interesting, as the HO radical oxidizes organic pollutants and may also play a role in the chemistry of earth's ozone hole." "The hydroxyl radical is like nature's detergent," Marshall says. The research also demonstrates the intrinsically quantum mechanical nature of this species and provides evidence for the changes in the electronic environments of the molecules that signal the start of a chemical reaction.
Marshall and Leung study the detailed structure and dynamics of small molecules and chemical complexes. This research, first reported online in Chemical Physical Letters last December and appearing in print in January, examined the manner in which the extremely reactive hydroxyl radical (OH) interacts with potential reaction partners such as water. The hydroxyl radical, a powerful oxidant, is maligned for the damage it can cause in biological systems such as the human body, but is also capable of reactions that remove pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the atmosphere. Since water is ubiquitous in living things and in the atmosphere, chemists have speculated on the importance of the chemistry of an H2O-HO radical complex, in atmospheric science, genetics and other fields.
Leung received both B.S. and B.A. degrees from California State University, Northridge and a Ph.D. from Harvard University. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Leung has taught at Amherst since 2002. Marshall, a member of the Amherst College faculty since 1987, received a B.S. degree from the University of Rochester and Ph.D. from Harvard University, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Research Council, in Ottawa, Canada.
The H. Axel Schupf '57 Fund for Intellectual Life supported Marshall during a sabbatical year at the University of Pennsylvania while he worked on this project. Both Leung and Marshall have received a Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award. A National Science Foundation grant to Amherst College also supported the work.

In the history of the movies, thousands of men, women, children, and even animals have tried to find success as a movie star. They were drawn from theater, opera, sports, and every type of entertainment venue, and some even came from out of nowhere. They took valiant stabs at entrancing audiences with their faces, personalities, or peculiarities. A precious few achieved greater popularity than anyone could have ever dreamed, but others vanished beneath the sands of time along with the films they so lovingly made. They gave us their most audacious efforts, but they did not find any lasting success, or having enjoyed a brief blush with triumph, they returned home to their true metiers. Some simply never found a second chance. This book celebrates the memorable attempts of ten who tried to be a movie star.
They shot across silver screens like comets, but they all disappeared like falling stars. Pulitzer nominated author David W. Menefee searched the major archives of the world to uncover the true behind-the-scenes stories of ten of Hollywood's most legendary headliners. He returned with this fascinating anthology that includes detailed analyses of their attempts at films, plot synopses, casts, contemporary reviews, production notes, and hundreds of rare photographs that capture the glamour and excitement of Hollywood's Golden Era.

Fresh off a five year prison bid, Brandon Holiday returns home to Miami with scores to settle in both his personal and business lives. Before Brandon went to prison, several people owed him money, to the tune of over five million dollars. The time had come to pay up, and he was determined to collect what was owed to him by choice or by force. During Brandon’s incarceration, his girlfriend, Stacy, had held him down, even bringing their son to see him twice a month. Brandon had felt a change in Stacy during the last year and a half of his prison stint, and he wondered if she’d become involved with someone else. Although he hadn’t been a saint, Brandon wasn’t sure if he could forgive what he considered the ultimate betrayal. Stacy had loved Brandon since she was a young teenager, and she knew in her heart that she always would. Their life together hadn’t been easy, and long stretches of separation and uncertainty had caused her to fall weak to the affection of another. Now that Brandon has returned home, Stacy is ready to give up her temporary source of comfort and move on with Brandon and their son. Unfortunately, her lover is not willing to let her go without a fight, and Brandon seems to have given up on their love.

The character debuted on September 30 1963, and continued to appear on and off in the strip until May 22, 1983. "5" has spiky hair and sometimes wears a shirt with the number five on it. 95472 is the family's "last name", or more specifically their ZIP code. In reality, it is the ZIP code for Sebastopol, California, where Charles M. Schulz was living at the time the character was introduced. "5" has to keep telling his teacher that the accent is on the 4 in his surname. Snoopy is confused as to whether the boy's name is spelled 5 or as the Roman numeral V.As "5" explains to Charlie Brown in the strip from October 1, 1963, his father, morose and hysterical over the preponderance of numbers in people's lives, changed all of his family's names to numbers. Asked by Lucy if it was Mr. 95472's way of protesting, "5" replies that this was actually his father's way of "giving in." "5" also has two sisters named "3" and "4". ("Nice feminine names," in Charlie Brown's sarcastic assessment.)
Before Peppermint Patty's debut, "5" was in the same school as Charlie Brown and Linus. A few years after Peppermint Patty's first appearance, "5" was shown sitting in front of Roy at Peppermint Patty's school.
In later years, "5" appeared more as an occasional background character and disappeared entirely after May 22, 1983.
TV and film appearances
"5" memorably appears, along with his sisters, in the TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas.

La Tomatina Spanish Festivalby Jose
Buñol is Spanish town famous for a world renowned tomato fight festival known as “La Tomatina”.
Valencia, on the east coast of Spain, is a sunny Mediterranean city famous for its long sandy beaches and delicious oranges. Buñol, another city nearby located just 30 miles away in the same province is also very famous for its produce, particularly for its tomatoes. The curious thing, however, is that the small town’s notoriety does not stem from the quality of its tomatoes but rather their interesting custom of “bathing” in it.
Buñol is famous around the globe for its “La Tomatina” festival which is essentially the world’s largest tomato fight. The famous tomato throwing battle is held once a year on the last Wednesday of August during the town’s one week festival.
The Tomatina festival stared in the 1940s when a group of the town’s residents started a tomato fight in the town square. The tomato battle erupted and soon random pedestrians and other town people were drawn into the battle which culminated in a large food fight. When everything was said and done, the villagers had had such a fun time that they decided to celebrate the tomato fight the next year. From this day forward, the Tomatina festival has been an annual event, growing in size and popularity into the major tourist attraction of national interest that it is today in Spain.
The town of Buñol in Valencia celebrates their patron saint for a full week with a variety of events including parades, fireworks, food stands and street parties. Paella cooking contests, wine and food are abundant as the town prepares for its famous tomato fight.
As the Tomatina tomato fight approaches, the town’s Medieval bell tower is filled with tomatoes. The tomatoes are specially grown for the festival and are said to not be of food grade quality. When the last Wednesday of August arrives, shopkeepers and other business owners with establishments near the main square cover their windows and doors in preparation for the messy tomato event.
The next step in La Tomatina festival is the arrival of the large trucks that slowly make their way up the cobblestone streets of Buñol filled with squishy ripe tomatoes on route to the town square where masses of people are awaiting the official start of the festival. However, before they can enter the main square, someone must overcome the test of the “palo jabón” or greasy pole. The goal is for someone to climb a large greased pole to knock the ham that is hanging on top to the ground. Meanwhile, the crowd below sings, dances and is sprayed with water from hoses. When someone achieves the feat, a fire is shot into the air and the tomato trucks enter the town square.
A final shot rings out and the world’s largest tomato battle begins as the trucks offload their tomatoes into the Plaza del Pueblo. The Buñol tomato fight lasts about one hour with about 20,000 participants who generally use approximately 150,000 tomatoes, covering the whole city center and everyone nearby in red tomato sauce.
After the event, fire trucks, participants and villagers work to clean the town center with hoses and abundant water. The result is actually a pristine shine to the cobblestone streets which are disinfected and thoroughly cleansed due to the acidity of the tomato sauce.
The Buñol Tomatina festival is an event worth witnessing and participating in at least once in your lifetime. However, we recommend that you plan ahead, the small town only offers so much accommodation and the hotels in all the surrounding areas quickly fill up as the event draws near.

The explosive growth of data traffic fuels the demand for ever more processing power and storage capacity. Moore’s Law continues to be necessary, but innovations are needed beyond this law to help managing the devices power, performance, area and cost. An Steegen reveals some of the secrets of semiconductor scaling – a pipeline full of materials, device architectures and advanced techniques that promise to further extend semiconductor scaling.
The end of happy scaling?
Data traffic explosion, fueled by the Internet of Things, social media and server applications, has created a continuous need for advanced semiconductor technologies. Servers, mobile devices, IoT devices... they drive the requirements for processing and storage. An Steegen: “At the same time, this trend is also creating more diversification. IoT devices for example will need low-power signal acquisition and processing, and embedded non-volatile memory technologies. For mobile and server applications, on the contrary, further dimensional scaling, continuous transistor architecture innovations and memory hierarchy diversification are among the key priorities.” But will we be able to continue traditional semiconductor scaling, as initiated by Gordon Moore more than 50 years ago? An Steegen: “For a long time, we have lived in the happy scaling era, where every technology node reshrinks and redoubles the number of transistors per area, for the same cost. But the last 10-12 years, we have not been following that happy scaling path. The number of transistors still doubles, but device scaling provides us with diminishing returns. We’ve seen these dark periods of ‘dark silicon’ before, but, fortunately, we’ve always managed to get out of these periods. Again, the technology box will provide new features to help manage power, performance and area node by node as we move to the next generation.”
The technology box for dimensional scaling
On the dimensional scaling side, extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is considered an important enabler for continuing Moore’s Law. An Steegen: “Ideally, we would need it at the 10nm node, where we will start replacing single exposures with multiple exposures. More realistically, it will hopefully be ready to lower the costs for the 7nm technology. At imec, we already showed that EUVL is capable of printing 7nm logic dimensions with one single exposure.” Still, issues need to be resolved, related to, for example, the line-edge roughness. An Steegen: “At the same time, to enhance dimensional scaling, we increasingly make use of scaling boosters, such as self-aligned gate contact or buried power rail. These tricks allow a standard cell height to be reduced from 9 to 6 tracks, leading to a bit density increase and large die cost reduction - a nice example of design-technology co-optimization.”
Improving power/performance in the front-end of line
FinFET technology has been the killer device for the 14 and 10nm technology nodes. But for the 7-5nm, An Steegen foresees challenges. “At these nodes, FinFET technology can’t meet the 20% performance scaling and 40% power gain anymore. To go beyond 7nm will require horizontal gate-all-around nanowires, which promise better electrostatic control. In such a configuration, the drive current per footprint can be maximized by vertically stacking multiple horizontal nanowires. In 2016, at IEDM, we demonstrated for the first time the CMOS integration of vertically stacked gate-all-around Si nanowire MOSFETs. Vertical nanowires, although requiring a more disruptive process flow, could be a next step. Or junction-less gate-all-around nanowire FET devices, which, as shown at the 2016 VLSI conference, appear as an attractive option for advanced logic, low-power circuits and analog/RF applications.” Further down the road, from the 2.5nm node onwards, fin/nanowire devices are expected to run out of steam. An Steegen: “Sooner or later, we will need to find the next switch. Promising approaches are tunnel-FETs, which can provide a 3x drive current improvement, and spin-wave majority gates.” Spin-wave majority gates with micro-sized dimensions have already been reported. But to be CMOS-competitive, they must be scaled and handle waves with nanometer-sized wavelengths. An Steegen: “In 2016, imec proposed a method to scale these spin-wave devices into nanometer dimensions, opening routes towards building spin-wave majority gates that promise to outperform CMOS-based logic technology in terms of power and area reduction.”
Extending or replacing Cu in the back-end-of-line
Looking ahead, it might as well be the interconnect that will threaten further device scaling. Therefore, the back-end-of-line (BEOL) and the struggle to keep scaling the BEOL needs attention as well. “We look at ways to extend the life of Cu, for example with liners of rubidium (Ru) or cobalt (Co). On the longer term, we will probably need alternative metals, such as Co for local interconnects or vias”, says An Steegen.
The future memory hierarchy
Besides a central processing unit, memory to store all the data and instructions is another key element of the classical Von Neumann computer architecture. The ever increasing performance of computation platforms and the consumer’s hunger for storing and exchanging ever more data drive the need to keep on scaling memory technologies. Besides this scaling trend, existing memories that make up today’s memory hierarchy are challenged with the need for new types of memory. An Steegen: “STT-MRAM, for example, is an emerging memory concept that has the potential to become the first embedded non-volatile memory technology on advanced logic nodes for advanced applications. It is also an attractive technology for future high-density stand-alone applications. It promises non-volatility, high-speed, low-voltage switching and nearly unlimited read/write endurance. But its scalability towards higher densities has always been challenging. Recently, we have been able to demonstrate a high-performance perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction device as small as 8nm, combined with a manufacturable solution for a highly scalable STT-MRAM array.” The future memory landscape also requires a new type of memory able to fill the gap between DRAM and solid-state memories: the storage class memory. This memory type should allow massive amounts of data to be accessed in very short latency. Imec is working there on MRAM and resistive RAM (RRAM) approaches.
Beyond classical scaling – towards system-technology co-optimization...
A challenge for traditional Von Neumann computing is to increase the data transfer bandwidth between the processing chip and the memory. And this is where 3D approaches enter the scene. An Steegen: “With advanced CMOS scaling, new opportunities for 3D chip integration arise. For example, it becomes possible to realize different partitions of a system-on-chip (SoC) circuit and heterogeneously stacking these partitions with high interconnect densities. At the smallest partitions, chips are no longer stacked as individual die, but as full wafers bonded together.” An increased bandwidth is also enabled by optical I/O. In this context, imec continues its efforts to realize building blocks (e.g. optical modulators, Ge photodetectors) with 50Gb/s channel data rate for its Si photonics platform.
Moore’s Law will continue, but not only through the conventional routes of scaling.
An Steegen: “We have moved from pure technology optimization (involving novel materials and device architectures) to design-technology co-optimization (e.g. the use of scaling boosters to reduce cell height). And we are already thinking ahead about a next phase, system-technology co-optimization. And to keep computing power improving, we are exploring ways beyond the classical Von Neumann model, such as neuromorphic computing, a brain-inspired computer concept, and quantum computing, which exploits the laws of quantum physics. There are plenty of creative ideas that will allow the industry to further extend semiconductor scaling...”

AMD announces Mantle delay as BF4 battles bugs January 2, 2014 at 3:54 pm
AMD’s Mantle API was supposed to debut in December with a Battlefield 4 patch, but the deployment has been delayed. Problems with BF4 have forced Dice to prioritize fixing the underlying code rather than integrating new support. According to AMD, Mantle will still launch in January, once the game is in better shape.
Six months in, is the Wii U dead in the water? May 8, 2013 at 2:51 pm
After the surprising mainstream success with the Wii, Nintendo has faltered a bit. Now that it’s been nearly six months since the Wii U launched, let’s take a moment to see how the console has been doing. Nintendo launched the 3DS at a high price in February 2011, and then slashed the price by $80 only six months later. Will its other console suffer the same fate?


When the Floyds decided to sell KBS in 2004 they only had to look amongst their own ranks to find suitable buyers. Faced with the dilemma of selling a business that requires knowledgable, dedicated owners, who were willing to take on the huge task of running 'The Stables', they knew that only someone as attached and familiar with the place as themselves would be able to continue with success. Kristen & Lyndal have ridden at the stables since they could walk. They spent their teenage years volunteering to pick up poo and take pony rides and still after that tend to their own horses. Laurie knew that to maintain the high standards of care that was offered, Kristen and Lyndal were the only choice.
In the fours years since their purchase, Kristen and Lyndal have continued the fine traditions of past owners, whilst also leaving their own footprint on the business. Both accomplished riders themselves competing across the entire spectrum from western to eventing, Kristen & Lyndal are an often tested source of knowledge and experience. Their commitment to high standards of care that the stables are known for, is demonstrated by their own top show horses that live here. While it may be every kids dream to own a horse stables, Kristen & Lyndal have certainly not rested since achieving that goal. Their continued desire to improve and their constant quest for innovation has seen the waiting list get longer and longer. The Floyds couldn't have chosen better.
