DID you hear the story about the 90-year-old man who bet £100 to see if he could reach 100? Well he’s £25,000 better off.

In fact, if recent statistics are anything to go by, it’s probably a sure-fire bet for any elderly man or woman.

In 20 years time, it is forecast that a quarter of Leicestershire’s whole population will be over 65.

And for anyone who wants a better breakdown, that means one in five of us will probably own a bus pass!

You could thank our doctors, Jamie Oliver, or the improvements in care, but whatever the answers, people are living much, much longer.

“I would say that in the last two years we’ve seen a big increase in the amount of people reaching or living through 100,” says Yvonne Savage, manager of Shepshed Westroyd Care Home.

At the moment, the care home has at least 10 people in that age category, one of which, Annie Mabe, who is the oldest at 102.

“She is not just existing,” adds Yvonne. “She is able to feed herself, make her own choices and decide what she is going to wear that day. She is actually more mentally aware than people we’ve got in our 70s and 80s.”

This seems to be the case in a number of homes in the area.

Lea Larsen, manager at Longcliffe Nursing Home in Loughborough, added: “The fittest people in our home are the oldest. One man, in his 90s, won’t sit with any of what he calls ‘the old biddies’ despite being 20 years older than most.”

In fact, researchers believe the time we reach 90, many of us will have outlived the diseases which would have finished us off in our earlier years.

So, what decides how long we live?

Well for boys it’s bleak...too much booze, too much smoking and too much, too soon has set our estimated life-span at 77 while those conscientious girls are most likely to outlive us by four years.

In fact, the Office for National Statistics believes girls have nearly a 24 per cent chance of living to 100.

But it isn’t all down to living like a hermit on an exercise bike. A good glass of red wine keeps the heart in order and the occasional box of chocolate keeps the blood pressure at bay. Location, location is also a key factor. American research shows that dirty streets brings the Grim Reaper round faster than a Charnwood bin man.

But above all, choosing the right ‘life partner’ is apparently a life-expansion guarantee. A successful marriage can add seven years to a man’s life and two for a woman.

But in reality, the cost of longevity comes at a high price.

Tony Donovan, chief executive for Age Concern Charnwood, believes the aging population has brought with it a whole raft of serious issues, including the pension crisis.

“A person’s pension is not sufficient to deal with the aging population. A lot of elderly people are worried that the longer they live, the less money they will have in their pockets and therefore many are living in poverty.”

He believes this will cause detrimental effects for the new generation who are not big pension savers.

He added: “Care is expensive. If something happens to your elderly relatives, the home you would inherit will end up paying for their care. Some may stay in this level of care for five or 10 years if people are living longer.

“The reality is there is just not enough money to pay for the aging society in this country.”

In conclusion, everyone wants to live as long as they can, but can we afford too? Well that’s a different matter.

Like the 90-year-old who bet £100, it would seem the only chance we’ve got of living a prosperous old age these days is getting down to the bookies, if not for our own sake, but for the future of our family.

You would never call me baby…

from perfume genius: mike hadreas’s latest album put your back N 2 it the promo video of the sensitive track: ‘hood’, directed by winston chase and also starring gay porn phenomena arpad miklos, was reputedly refused by google for containing unsuitable material and not in compliance with their policies. i might not be as media savvy as them but fail to see how this video contains anything more lewd or suggestive than the average sexy gyrating r&b sista or angry foul mouthed hip-hop teen. the terminology surrounding ‘adult content’ can also be misleading, especially since adults often behave like children themselves. i can only assume that the free and brave country that gave us google are now also imposing their values and controls onto us. strange though that they’d be so upset that the chinese prefer their own search engine. some people just want to be their own dictators. that’s all fine by me but surely you can’t get with that draconian control attitude and still think people should believe your advocacy of freedom of expression. it’s sometimes easy to forget that ‘them good old values’ can bring back ‘them good old prejudices’.
the song that ironically echoes with the consciousness of fickle love and honesty cleverly translates in this video, and then further lives up to it by not getting any of that google-love.
if i sound a bit crapped out it’s only because the hypocrisy of it all. my country which has been the pariah of prejudice for exactly that same reason of values, is currently proposing a bill to end all alcohol advertising. not that i’m any economist myself but it seems a bit rash of principle in a country where unemployment in a beleaguered economy still persists. if we were to regulate all potentially harmful substances, i shudder to think about the consequence to our consumerist commercial existance. in addition, we’ve also had our censorship laws brought under scrutiny due to an artist’s painting that depicted our president in’cock’nito. the whole regulation thing seems a bit like calling the vase ming. i am just too afraid of what it means when a great song and a creative promo video such as this gets treated as suspect - what could be the real reason? perhaps it was just a case of ‘promo’-phobia from google? …it would be such a pity if i had to change my search engine.

Excellently Edited

photographer louis park makes miraculous with rising designers munsoo kwon and kang.d. both utilize superb tailoring to create abstracted silhouettes in a new take on the urban-safari look. pleating, blocking and box cuts, asymmerical patterns and pockets. crossing the divide between casual but structured; the palette is mostly neutral which makes for excellent summer companion outerwear. the understated simplicity from these designers belies their individuality and unconventionality. just what i was looking for.
in the video presentation i have to express my relief at the lack of over-branding and over-styling and other over-aspirational over-ness. the layered approach and monochromatic presentation without fuss or fancy conveys the character of the collections superbly and doesn’t distract from their essence - excellent edited detail.

Stupidity & Sensitivity

Since it’s nearly impossible to gauge each individual’s level of sensitivity or stupidity, I’d rather play it safe and classify this site as suitable for adults only. Although that term is still nebulous to me, the responsibility remains that of the viewer.

Curating & Criticism

The identification and definition of creativity are two different things. Challenging conventional interpretations and perspectives expands its validity and effect. I am convinced that collaborations and participation across creative industries allow for discovering a greater realisation of our potential.

Art & Collecting

I love mixing styles and textures, media and materials. But I believe in respecting personality when it comes to choosing work. There is of course the investment angle which is too boring to discuss here….or anywhere really. It is important to remember that when you live with art, it should be alive to you. That is to say it needs to move you. You need to have an affair with it.

Fashion & Architecture

Starting with the roof over your head and the clothes on your back. These are the things we inhabit. Without entering into the fashion vs trend debate. They also shape our sensibilities and the way we present ourselves.

Design & Function

Whether colour or form is your thing. Pattern or plain. What we choose to live with can make our lives easier or more challenging. Consider your commitment and convince yourself.

Gardens & Flowers

Since Eden it has been a fascination, inspiration, an indulgence of kings and common gardeners, a joy. No home is complete without it. Whether you go for potted, landscaped or organic, dry or shade, just go for it.

Treasures & Trash

Most of which are filed under S for sentimental. I respect that.
Heirlooms. Bargains. Souvenirs. Gifts. Curiosities. Found Objects. Impulse Buys.
Never hide what’s important or meaningful. Denial is a very ugly word.

History & Reality

Get to know yourself and others. As much as we live in the same world, everyone has their own version of it. Live up to yours, never fear your dreams and ideals lest they remain aspirations forever.

Thomas the Toadilly Terrible Bully by Janice Levy

Thomas the Toadilly Terrible Bully by Janice Levy

Thomas hates being ignored. But when his attempts to impress everyone don't make him any friends, he decides to be a bully instead. There's just one problem: he makes a terrible bully. A toadilly terrible one, in fact. It turns out, though, that there's an even bigger bully around, and Thomas discovers what it feels like to be the one bullied. But a bit of teamwork helps him outwit the bully and make a new friend. And being a friend, Thomas finds, is far more fun than being a bully.

Booklist -Textured, earth-toned acrylic illustrations lend the toads and their landscape a worn-in, comfortable feel and leave plenty of space for the succinct text. A nice life lesson for bullies and bullied alike.-

The Bearded Lady: How To Manage That Pesky Facial Hair

Frustrated with that hair on your face? I definitely understand your pain! A few years ago, I noticed a dark strand of hair on my chin. I wasted no time, grabbed my tweezers, and plucked it. Unfortunately, that strand of hair continuously grows back. For women who have more than one it can be quit annoying at times. Luckily, there are several different ways to manage/remove those annoying facial hairs.

Bleaching is a very simple painless method that take no longer than 10 minutes to work. The bleach lightens the facial hair making it easier to blend in with your skin. Unfortunately, if you have thick long strands of facial hair or are a darker complexion, the lightening of your hair may make it stand out even more. This method is perfect for people with fine facial hairs and those of a lighter complexion. Bleaching creams can be found at Target, Walmart, or your local drug stores.

If you get your eyebrows waxed you already know the benefits of a good waxing. Waxing is spreading hot soft wax across the area you want to remove hair from. After that is completed, a piece of paper is placed on top allowing the wax to adhere to the paper. The hair is then removed my pulling on the paper ripping the hair out. This method removes the hair from the root which allows waxing to  last several days to a few weeks depending on how fast your hair grows. If the wax is too hot you may be left with a burn. Facial waxing is available at some hair salons, nail salons, and spas. You can also purchase at home waxing products like Veet Hair Removal Strips and Sally Hansen's Wax Strips Hair Remover Kit For Face, Brows & Bikini at local stores.
Tweezing is great for women that only have a few strands of hair on their face they want to remove. Tweezing is done by using tweezers. The method to tweezing is getting the tweezer as close to the base of the hair and pulling it out. You can purchase tweezers at your local drug store, grocery store, Walmart, Target, Sephora, or Ulta. The cost of tweezers start at $1.
You are probably saying, "depila-what?!" Yes, Depilatories! You may know them as Veet or Nair hair removal creams. The cream works by spreading it across the area you would like to remove the hair from and letting it sit for a few minutes (time varies depending on the brand). While the cream is spread across your skin it dissolves the hair follicle at the base. After letting it sit, you take a wet warm cloth and wipe off the hair and cream. Be sure to purchase a depilatory specifically for facial hair. Using a cream for the body on the face and leaving the cream on for a long time may result in a burn. Also, some creams have a very strong scent.
A very expensive method with long lasting benefits is laser hair removal. You can choose to get the laser hair removal that last for a few months or you can choose the option to have your hair removed permanently. This method is painful because the laser produces heat and the nerve ending attached to the hair reacts to it. This hair removal method can run between $150 to $400 per section on your face.
An epilator looks like a electric razor but instead of having blades it has small little tweezers. You use the Epilator by gliding it across your skin where hair is just like a razor. This method is VERY painful but gives great results that can last for up to two weeks. Epilators are sometimes pricey but you can find great deals online. Here is a video by youtube Beauty Guru AndreasChoice demonstrating how to use the Epilator. Her Epilator is more so for the body. It can be used on the face but there are smaller epilators.

More power to Andrea because I would NEVER use this thing!

  1. That Epilator doe not look like fun! lol

    1. I know! My eye water when I get my eyebrows waxed. This looks much worse! Thanks for reading :)

  2. Look at you Clarice! You did a great job :)

  3. Awww look at you, Resee. I have actually had laser before. It is quite a strong tingling sensation while they are doing it, but it doesnt last long after its done. The first time is the worst time but afterwards it gets better. The only con about laser is that they tell you, you cant be in the sun a couple weeks before you go to a session and you have to go to like 6-8 sessions. Needless to say, its not a quick fix. I havent finished all my sessions so I cant speak to the results yet.

    1. Rocki! Thanks for reading :)

      So, the laser didn't hurt?

  4. Waxing is my method. One day I will pay for it to be permanently removed. Like the article because I never heard of some of the methods used

Real Life Got in the way... (Part 1)

I’ve been missing in action for several months now on this blog and YouTube. Real life got in the way. I’m talking about real life serious stuff. Where do I begin...

For starters, the most important person in my life became ill. To hide her identity, I will call her “Ana”. Ana became extremely sick. It really messed me up mentally. Nothing really mattered to me anymore. The thought of Ana not being in my life really made me feel like nothing was worth doing or pursuing. I took over a month off from work and cried to myself everyday.

I knew my behavior was healthy. I decided to see a therapist. I wanted to talk to someone that could try to help make sense of everything happening. My therapist was awesome. She understood why I was feeling down. She reminded me that even though Ana was sick life still goes on. My therapist believed Ana ultimately wanted me to be happy in spite of what was happening to her. My therapist also made me realize that it is time that I start doing things that will move me towards a happy and productive life.

In one of my sessions, my therapist asked me what was something I always wanted to do. I told her one of my many career goals and that I wanted to move. My therapist responded with two simple words... DO IT! I told her it was not that simple. She said it was that simple and life is as hard as you make it. Life can also be very simple too.

After much soul searching, prayer, and reading this awesome book called The Alchemist, I decided to move! I set a date to move two weeks after the day I mentally made the decision to move. The timing could not have been worst. The day I was moving, Ana had a life saving surgery. My family thought I should stay until Ana was better. I thought of staying too but we didn’t know when or if Ana would get better. It could take 6 months, a year, longer or never. Ana, surprisingly, wanted me to move. She wanted to see me grow. She wanted to see me happy.

I moved to Maryland with no job and no leads. The first day in Maryland I thought I made a huge mistake. I started to have panic attacks. The unknown was scaring me. I prayed on it. I prayed that my life would make sense to me soon and I will see some sort of progression.

My first week in Maryland, I went on two interviews in Washington, DC. The interviews were with staffing agencies. My friend I was staying with suggested I interview with temp agencies because it was the fastest way to bring some money in until I found something permanent. I hated the idea of working for a temp agency. The thought of being sent to different assignments everyday made me have panic attacks. I like stability and consistency. There was nothing stable about working for a temp agency.

As fate would have it, I was offered a job after one week of moving. One of the temp agencies I interviewed with liked me so much that they asked me to work internally for them. They wanted me to be a permanent employee. The job they offered me was something I did not have experience in but I was ready for the challenge. God was organizing my steps for me and this move was not a mistake. Everything was happening so quickly.

I’ve been working and living in the Maryland/DC area for six months now. It has been an interesting six months. I've been trying to be more social, go out, and have fun. Unfortunately, during the last six months I have not worked on any of my goals and/or hobbies. I lost my focus and I've been wasting time. I'm thankful for my current job but this is not where I want to be.  After six months, I am ready for another change...

Real Life Got in the way... (Part 2). Coming soon...

TEWKSBURY -- Christopher Malone is taking over the helm of Tewksbury Public Schools as Superintendent John O'Connor retires after six years.

Malone, who currently serves as assistant superintendent for the Revere Public Schools, will start July 1.

For more than 20 years, Malone has held several positions within the Revere public school system. He began as a student-services specialist who helped gang-involved and at-risk students at the high school level. He went on to become dean of Revere High School, middle-school principle and has served as the assistant superintendent for the past six years. Despite having invested so much time in the Revere public school system, he is ready to take his next big step in Tewksbury.

"I don't have 20 years of experience in Tewksbury, so I'm going to have to gain that experience rather quickly," Malone said. "I think that, as a short-term priority, is essential because I don't want to be making decisions without considering what Tewksbury's history is -- what Tewksbury's culture is."

Malone is entering into this position during an exciting time for Tewksbury schools. This year's budget allowed for free, full-day kindergarten and Town Meeting approved a $1.1 million feasibility study for the renovation or reconstruction of the Trahan Elementary School.

"John O'Connor putting his efforts into these things as he's transitioning out says a lot about his character," Malone said.

"I don't think anyone has it better than me, when he's done that kind of legwork."

Six years ago, O'Connor became superintendent just after the feasibility study was approved for the high school, so he said he knows what is in store for Malone. A lot of work goes into the process -- but O'Connor added, "the community and its support for our schools has been tremendous."

"It was exhilarating to open a new school," O'Connor said. "I remember when we has an open house for our school. What was most notable was how proud these people were. They were exceptionally proud of this amazing facility we have built."

Jayne Miller previously served on the School Committee when it voted to hire Malone. She said he will bring many skills and talents to the town, including energizing teachers, which she said is one of Malone's biggest strengths.

"Chris will bring his own vision and work with the community and the School Committee to make Tewksbury shine," Miller said. "I greatly look forward to his arrival and welcome him to the community."

Miller said she wants Tewksbury schools to "become the envy of the Merrimack Valley," and that there will be a more diversified curriculum in the future.

Arthy Bennett, who is the newest member of the School Committee elected in April, was not on the committee when Malone was voted new superintendent, but she is supportive of him joining the team.

"I'm definitely looking to embrace the transition of the new superintendent coming in," Bennett said. She added that he will help in keeping an eye on the budget as the committee is "always looking for creative ways to save money and to spend it wisely."

Bennett works at GE Aviation and has been vocal about making more STEM programs available for students and adding to the curriculum.

"Certainly there's national trends out there and statewide trends we want to pay attention to and I want to see how that translates to Tewksbury," Malone said.

Assistant Superintendent Brenda Theriault-Regan will be teaming up with Malone on a number of upcoming projects, including becoming a level one school district, moving forward to address the conditions of school buildings, making improvements to curriculum programs and the ongoing goal of reducing fees. They recently attended the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents conference together.

"Obviously, I can't wait to work with the superintendent on several projects," Regan said. "Everyone I've talked to that has already worked with Chris tells me he will make a great teammate and is a great fit for Tewksbury."

Malone said one of his biggest goals is to create a professional culture around instruction, like what he saw during his years in Revere. He believes that all goals school officials set can be achieved if people feel they are part of a team.

"My hope coming out of a larger city into a town environment is to really be part of the community and part of the fabric of the community," Malone said.

Four More Tigers Taken on NFL Draft Day 3
Bill Martin (@LSUBillMartin)
Bill Martin (@LSUBillMartin)
Associate SID

NEW YORK -- A total of four LSU Tigers were selected on the final day of the 2010 NFL Draft and LSU finished with the fifth highest total among all schools in the nation for players chosen with six.

Linebacker Perry Riley was the first to go off the board when he was taken by the Washington Redskins with the fifth pick in round four (No. 103 overall). Defensive tackle Al Woods will remain in Louisiana as he was chosen by the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints with the 25th selection in round four (No. 123 overall).

Two Tigers followed in the sixth round. Running back and return specialist Trindon Holliday  went to the Houston Texans as the 28th pick of the sixth round (No. 197 overall) and running back Charles Scott followed three picks later at No. 31 (No. 200 overall) to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The four players join safety Chad Jones and wide receiver Brandon LaFell, who were chosen on Friday. Jones was picked by the New York Giants with the 76th overall selection, while LaFell went two picks later at No. 78 overall to the Carolina Panthers.

Since Les Miles took over as head coach in 2005, LSU has now had a total of 31 players chosen in the NFL Draft. The Tigers once again ranked among the nation's elite schools with the fifth-most players chosen. Florida led the way with nine. LSU also had six draft picks last season.

Riley joins former LSU All-American safety LaRon Landry and defensive tackle Howard Green on the Redskins. For his career, Riley recorded 185 total tackles, which included 13 tackles for losses and two sacks. He ranked second on the squad in total tackles with 97 as a senior while starting at 13 games.

Woods will play professionally not far from his hometown of Elton. He joins a Saints team that is coming off its first ever Super Bowl championship. Woods becomes the third LSU Tiger to be named to the current Saints roster that features wide receiver Devery Henderson and cornerback Randall Gay. He is the first LSU player selected by the Saints since Henderson in 2004.

Holliday, who dazzled scouts at the NFL Combine with a 4.34 in February, heads to Houston after finishing his LSU career ranked seventh in career punt return yards (647) and second in career kickoff return yards (1,806).

Scott is the fifth LSU running back to be selected in the NFL Draft since 2003. Scott ranked fourth in school history in career touchdowns (32) and finished seventh in school history in career rushing yards (2,317). His senior season was cut short after he suffered a broken clavicle on a hard rush in the third quarter at Alabama.

Scott is the first LSU player to be taken by Philadelphia in the draft since Norman LeJeune in 2003.

Check my homework paper all-around democracy

Check my homework paper all-around democracy

Despite being a kind of government that makes it possible for for the expression of disagreements with set laws, democracy has a host of tribulations, amongst them may be the incapacity on the minority to normally persuade the majority. Usually, the majority have ignored the views of the minority concerning important challenges facing a country, in the price of a whole nation. Within this view, this paper will highlight the difficulties of contemporary democracy.

Among the problems associated with modern democracy are that it encourages an activist form of politics. Under such politics, loads of politicians think that one of the most successful way for you to get popularity and improve probabilities of re-election should be to commit a lot more on the capital meant for the constituents on their behalf. There’s an inherent tendency to overspend in contemporary democracy considering that democracy produces a large number of elected officials thinking that the government can formulate solutions to all concerns. Largely, this outcomes in spending a great deal more capital in fixing challenges.

The impulse pointed out above towards activism tends to make various in the elected officials develop into natural advocates for much more regulation. Modern day democracy is also targeted by lobby groups with queer intentions. These groups marshal their situations by employing e mail and public relations campaigns. Further, a great many elected men and women believe that it can be really painless to give in to what ever demands as an alternative to arguing with all the demanding men and women. Seldom do campaigning groups advocate for repeal or decreased government activity. These groups are mostly entirely welcome towards the method that the government will need to do anything. Since of this development, pressures meant to offer the taxpayers and enhanced deal and pressures to curtail the impulse for regulation and control largely comes within the form of economic or financial crisis. Following continued government borrowing and excessive spending make up, market place pressures and the views of creditors emerge and compel the elected government, that is in crisis, to make use of corrective action. Modern democracy can perform much better in case the pressure in the lobbying groups had a improved balance in between individuals urging the government to perform far more, and folks asking the government to perform much less.

Contemporary democracy is confronted with all the standard trouble of find out how to limit the freedom of people within the economic enterprise enough to bring a measure of equality of opportunities and possessions. Without the capacity to foster equality, democracy is just an empty type. The primary situation is the fact that democracy is supposed to preserve the measure of freedom of your individuals within the political and intellectual life, which can be the tenet of its existence. Together with the flagrant inequality of opportunities and possessions getting a norm as opposed to the exception, the failure by some contemporary democracies to right the scenario has culminated into confusion and discontent. In worst situations, contemporary democracies are faced with all the dilemma of irrespective of whether to resolve the economic difficulties within the democratic way or to cease getting democracies.

In summary, this paper has highlighted concerns related with contemporary democracy. Though democracy makes it possible for for the expression of loads of freedoms and highlights the flaws in the government, it has a number of shortcomings. Among the shortcomings is that the minority are mainly incapable of persuading the majority. It can be commonplace for the majority to ignore the views of your minority, which creates concerns for a nation. It really is evident that the issue with contemporary democracy is mostly economic and presently, unemployment is really a spectacular type of the issues facing modern day democracy. Some men and women in the democratic society are unable to secure work and are kept alive by private or public charity or jobs produced by the government for such purposes.

LL Cool J — Deepest Bluest lyrics

Uh, my head is like a shark's fin

(we're in) deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
(the deep) deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
(blue sea) deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,
(ah, ah) deepest, bluest, my head is like a shark's fin,

Man-made terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms in short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your titanic sink I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even god won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My appetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater wars
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't pause

Chorus x2

Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Killers sworn to beast
Swallowed them in flames
Switch my dna
Flip me into cool j
I can't fight the feelin'
I'm born to kill prey
To survive an attack
There's only one way
Battle to the death
That's how sharks play
Weapons left behind
We dueling with the mind
You blind, crippled, or crazy
You're real easy to find
Struggling to float
With heomorhages in your throat
Getting the lap dance
While I smash through your boat
Eat your whole fam'
Nothing left but da right hand
Clinging to a rail
Escape attempts fail
You'll never make it home
Tear the flesh off your bone
Walking in undercurrents is a dangerous zone
I'm talking death out a moment's notice
You wasn't focused
Me and my crew strike
Like some underwater locust

Chorus x2

Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper
Uh, uh take it deeper

These waters are waist level
The hallway's flooded
Lost your scuba gear
The killer's cold-blooded
His name's ll
You don't really want it
I ate your ancestors
The ocean is haunted
I'm closing in cause I'm supposed to win
How the cold steel feel when it froze your chin
Should of stayed on dry land
Stroke while you can
Cause now you under pressure in the land of the damned
Abandoned pirate ships
Eels and sod scum
Fish that glow in the dark
The titanic's hub
Underwater storms
You're blood is so warm
You're life vest is off
And that turns me on
Killer for centuries
The gotti of the deep
In the next millennium
I'm still gonna creep
Sand under my belly, ocean over my head
Through the light in the shadows
You become the living dead

Chorus x2

Yeah, dbs

The Shrine Board runs many Rest Houses at Vaishno Devi which are solely meant to offer comfort and total convenience to the pilgrims visiting the Holy Shrine. Some of them are free while good number of them are rented out to the pilgrims. The accommodation facilities are common in Jammu, Katra and at the Holy Track as well. The Vaishnavi Dham and Saraswati Dham complexes at Jammu offer best of the accommodation facility nearby the Jammu Tawi Railway Station. The Niharika Complex at Katra offers good option for comfortable stay just nearby the local bus stand. Some more accommodation options are at Adhkuwari, Sanjhichat and Bhawan amongst others.

Free Accommodations:

Several halls have been created at different locations in Adhkuwari, Sanjichhat & Bhawan that are used as rest houses and they make the journey of pilgrims convenient. The pilgrims find in them good resting options while they are advised to wait before they could do the Darshan of the Holy Goddess upon reaching the Holy Cave. There is no charge for these halls hence they are rushed by many. Make it the point that those coming first can get space in them. Such halls are usually used as night halts by the pilgrims arriving here. These halls are equipped with the toilet facilities as well.

Basic amenities including Blanket Stores, Toilet Blocks, Bhojanalayas & Catering Units and Medical Aid Centres have been established nearby those halls to make it convenient for the pilgrims to approach and fulfill their needs.

While there is heavy rush and festival time the nature of Rest Houses at Vaishno Devi changes and in many cases free accommodation facilities are provided at nearby locations especially Katra where Niharika complex locates. The Yatra Parchi counter II (YRC-II) too facilitates accommodation in the sheds form located nearby New Bus Stand. Pilgrims are given blankets free like the accommodation facility without paying a single penny.

Rented Accommodations:

Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board offers clean and thoroughly maintained as well as affordable accommodation facility to the pilgrims to make their journey easy and comfortable. Such facilities are commonly available at the Vaishnavi Dham and Saraswati Dham near Railway Station in Jammu and in the Niharika Yatri Niwas and Shakti Bhawan located nearby the Bus stand in Katra. One more facility of such kind is inside Trikuta Bhawan in Katra which is very much close to the 2nd Yatra counter (YRC II). The facilities are also very much in the Adkuwari and Sajichatt besides Bhawan location.

Multiple varieties of rooms are available in the accommodations or Rest Houses at Vaishno Devi like the ones in hut shape, suites and beds in the hall. These rooms are either air conditioned or not and can be chosen accordingly. Hall accommodation can be rented by paying mere Rs. 60/- per bed at Katra while Rs.80/- per bed is charged at Bhawan area. The accommodations which the Shrine Board provides have many additional features including facility for hygienic food and the Bhojanalaya with no profit no loss concept. Likewise, various souvenir Shop nearby and cloak rooms for free and private vehicle parking facility without charge are worth mentioning.

Contact the enquiry and reservation counter of Niharika Complex for accommodation and you may get one if there is availability. They can be booked through approaching the reception too for which the team of the Shrine Board Guest houses/dormitories assist the pilgrims. Use this website if you want to book accommodation online. Make such bookings well in advance to get the confirmed room as too much rush often make it impossible to get room reservations easily at any of the nearby locations. Plan your Yatra in the week days rather than choosing weekends if you aim to avoid the heavy rush.

    Unhappy LaunchDaemon Access to System Keychain
    Hi guys, been tearing my hair out for three days since getting a Mac Mini server. I'm trying to periodically and automatically SSH a file to a remote site from my Server using launchctl, which I have been learning, having used 'cron' with (Gentoo) 'keychain' for years. I have a running shell script run from a System LaunchDaemon that performs the necessary SSH commands (and has done for a couple of years successfully on Linux, so no problems there), but I'm having no success retrieving the passphrase that I've attempted to store in the System Keychain (I think). To add the passphrase there I've tried just about everything, including just doing 'sudo sftp -i <path-to-private-key>' which asks for the passphrase and even though I choose store it, in the next user session it asks it again. Do I need to do anything special in the shell script to use this stored passphrase from the keychain? I used to have a line like this in the Linux version of the script:

    [ -z "$HOSTNAME" ] && HOSTNAME=`uname -n`
    . $HOME/.keychain/$HOSTNAME-sh 2>/dev/null
    ssh-add -l 2>/dev/null | grep -q id_rsa || exit 1

    which retrieved the appropriate keys into memory and meant I only ever had to type the passphrase once and then it would remember until the server rebooted.

    Does anyone have a clue how to achieve this with a Mac? I should add that in my plist file, stored in /Library/LaunchDaemons/, I use the "UserName" key with the user that I want to run the script. Mind you, in three days I've also tried without this, letting root run the script, but this also asks for the passphrase each time the shell script is run.

    Other than desperately searching the Internet without finding anything concrete I really have nothing to go on. Anyone can offer some help? I can't imagine no one has done something like this...

    Well, for the time being I have it working with good old keychain (Keychain - Funtoo Linux) bypassing the Mac KeyChain so at least I spare some of the remaining hair. Would still be nice to know how this can be done the proper Mac way though...

    Changing Mac Character Code (Glyphs)
    Hi fellow mac abusers!
    Don't worry, I mean it in a good way.

    So, I've been searching the internet for this topic, but have come almost empty handed.
    So far, I know that characters are generated in the computer and then sent to the display, and encoding plays a big role in it. For example 0x41 = 'A' in the ASCII table. What I can't seem to figure out is where this process goes on.
    As a startup I would like to be able to change the indexing of the character codes. For example, typing 0x41 will generate 'B' instead of 'A'.
    Further on I would like to create my own glyphs (which I have ready) so I can create a system with a different language. I obviously know it won't really be a different language because transferring the data to another system will show normal ASCII.
    If no one has a clue, I won't be surprised. But if some one could give me some references or good keywords to search with, I would be more than delighted. It would also be nice if someone could tell me if this is embedded in the hardware or if it's still controllable through software.

    Think about running >console with alien characters that you can read and others can't!! Pretty cool huh?

    Thx in advance.

    The place to start might be Apple's Introduction to Text System Overview, Cocoa Text Architecture Guide, and
    Text Editing Programming Guide. It looks like the information to understand how the keyboard returns its code and to use that data is in them. Based on the little I saw, try that last one first.

    You said you have created your own glyphs, but not how. To work with any of the OS X text systems and therefore all apps, I believe you should be creating Postscript fonts. Font creation is a huge topic in it's own right.

    As for shifting 'A' to 'B' for the code returned, I can't see the purpose of that beyond rudimentary encryption. I think that would be an app specific thing because trying to implement that system wide would likely break every other app.

    When asking questions, post the version of your software. You'll receive better answers.

    Please post your results to the thread as it is good feedback.

    The only way I was able to do this, was to create a character converter with C++, so the ascii character codes go beyond 127, into the lesser known characters like ╩▄▀╧╦╨╧═╨╧═╨╘╤╙╒╘╙═╤╧╥Γ▐╬═█╧╦╨╤.
    But to create a whole new library of characters is a different deal. I know nothing about changing character fonts or creating new ones, so good luck.

    Thanks xstep for the references. However, it could not help me because I just don't know enough about the system itself. Obviously, there is much that I have to learn as a young padawan. So instead of going top-down, I have decided to go bottom-up by learning OS construction. I am sure I will be able to grasp how characters are displayed through binary code. I will post as soon as reach my goal.

Does The iPhone 7 Suck?

Does The iPhone 7 Suck?

It’s no surprise that the iPhone 7 launch was a bit hectic this year. With new features such as IP 67 water resistance and the all new ‘Jet Black’ color, you’ll likely want to pick up a new iPhone 7 case, like the Veil XT, which is made by, Caudabe for protection against those scratches and scuffs. But, does the new iPhone 7 suck?

Let’s look back on last years models and compare a few features:

1. Display

The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus models included a 4.7 and 5.5 inch display. It is no surprise, Apple decided to keep the same dimensions for the new iPhone 7. Though, the screen resolution is still 720p, the new color gamut brings a great new feel when comparing models side by side.

2. Camera

While the iPhone 6s Plus was the first, and only, iPhone to feature OIS, both iPhone 7 models feature Optical Image Stabilization(OIS) now. Along with OIS, the Plus model features a second, (telephoto) lens to capture high quality monochrome photos, which then, is processed by software to enhance the quality of the 12mp shooter. And in case you were curious, the new telephoto lens does not include OIS.

3. 3D Touch

Apple introduced 3D touch on both, 6s and 6s Plus models last year, however, they have taken 3D Touch to a new level with Haptic Feedback. By adding a Haptic Feedback engine to each of the new iPhone 7 models, the software experience becomes enhanced and feels amazing to the touch. Sure it may be a small feature, but one that I absolutely love!

4. Water Risistance

Following suite, Apple decided to include, IP 67 water-resistance to this years iPhone 7 models. This is a big inclusion, and one that is far too long in the making since Android phones have had this feature for a while now. You can now leave your phone in a bowl of water for up to 30 minutes, however, Apple has yet to include water damage to “Apple Care+“.

5. The Loss of 3.5mm Audio

In a bold decision, Apple has decided to take out the 3.5mm audio port. What this means is, unlike last years iPhone 6s, and 6s Plus model, the 3.5mm port has been replaced by a single Lightning connector. What this means is, you will now have to use the, included, lightning to 3.5mm adapter if you would like to use your old headphones.

So does it suck?

Given the features mentioned above, if you’re looking to upgrade from last year, I would highly recommend waiting. I say this because, a lot of the new features are, just a bit, unnecessary. Sure water resistance is great, but there are more features in iOS 10 than there are in iPhone 7 hardware when comparing the 6s to the 7. No, the new iPhone 7 does not suck, but it seems as if Apple is just following suite, rather than making bold moves. I mean, even Apple wasn’t the first to eliminate the audio port.

Satnav company TomTom is urgently working on a software fix after a number of its GPS models stopped working at the weekend due to a “leap year” bug.

The problem first emerged on 31 March when some users as far afield as the UK, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, Denmark and Australia started reporting that their units couldn’t get a fix from the GPS satellite system.

The company hasn’t said which models have been affected by the big but said a temporary fix was possible if users reset their satnav units using instructions that vary by model.

“We have identified the root cause for some of our products not obtaining a GPS position,” read a technical support message. “The issue is caused by a ‘leap year’ bug in the software of the GPS receiver. We are working hard on a permanent solution that we will make available on our website as a downloadable software fix.”

The bug strikes when the GPS unit received signals from fewer than four satellites, the company said.

The reported symptoms vary, but typically involve the unit reporting a weak or lost signal, or displaying a grey screen with no data.

The company’s support website logged approaching 400 messages of complaint from around the world by Tuesday, including some who said that even after the reset fix their units still worked very slowly. Others said that a reset only solved the issue until units were powered down, after which a further reset was required.

“Would be nice to be treated as knowledgeable adults. Again, I would appreciate if you would be honest and tell us what is going on,” complained one user.

A full fix is promised for Tuesday or Wednesday 4 April.

Experiment: Roasted Dandelion Roots

2010 February 6
by Mad Alchemist

Using dandelions in beer is rare, but not unprecedented. New Belgium has a rather tasty Dandelion Ale, so I decided to start working toward understanding the taste and bittering qualities of dandelion. Fresh dandelion greens are not generally available until spring, so I thought I’d see what dandelion roots were like first.

If you don’t want to read through my entire process, here’s a quick summary, prefaced by a note: First off, this is experimentation. I’m trying to share the results of my experiments as I go through with them, which means not all of them will yield positive beer-worthy potential.

Dandelion roots fall into the “not gonna brew with it” category. In short, they simply don’t taste very good. The bittering quality is poor, the aroma is off-putting, and the taste can be described as kissing someone who just finished smoking an entire pack of cigarettes at very high concentrations or shoving a stale-but-dirty sock in your mouth at half that concentration. That said, here’s what I did:

The Control – Hop Tea

  • Boiled 32 oz. water with 1/16 oz. (~0.06 oz.) of 5% Alpha East Kent Goldings for 15 mins.
  • At the end of the rather vigorous boil, I ended up with 16 oz. of Hop Tea.

The Experiment – (Roasted) Dandelion (Root) Tea

  • Boiled 32 oz. water with 12 g. (~0.42 oz) of Organic Roasted Dandelion Roots for 15 mins.
  • At the end of the rather vigorous boil, I ended up with 16 oz. of Dandelion Tea.

The estimated IBU (using Tinseth) of the Hop Tea at the 16 oz. concentration was 30.9. As you might expect, this is bile-bitter when not balanced by any malt, but I sampled it anyway. It tasted like bile. The Dandelion Tea was not nearly so bitter, but it tasted rather terrible as well.

I proceeded to make the call to dilute both back up to 32 oz., which brought the estimated IBU of the Hop Tea to 16.1. This is still very bitter, but it’s tolerable and provides enough liquid to test various dilutions. The Dandelion Tea still tasted quite bad, but it wasn’t so much bitter-tasting as stale and dirty-tasting.

It was at this point that I decided the experiment was over. Roasted Dandelion Roots are not a viable option (in my home brewery) to replace hops as a bittering agent, and I wouldn’t them as an aromatic because I don’t want their flavor or aroma anywhere near my beer.

But, I forged on with one more dilution. I diluted both to 64 oz., which brought the estimated bitterness of the Hop Tea to a not-unpleasant 8.0 IBU and the estimated grossness of Dandelion Tea to “tolerable.” I downed a glass of each to punish myself and poured the rest out.

In hindsight, I should have expected the Roasted Dandelion Root to be incompatible with beer. Firstly, a large amount of Dandelion Root is supposed to be beneficial to the liver, which is quite the opposite of what large quantities of beer is supposed to do to your liver. Secondly, I made a traditional cup of Roasted Dandelion Root Tea prior to the experiment and found it rather unpleasant to begin with.

Oh, well… You win some, you lose some. At least I learned something. I might try the same experiment using Dandelion Leaves from the local health store, or I might wait until I can get fresh Dandelion Greens from the supermarket and run my next test then. If anyone else has experience using Dandelions (in any form) in beer, I’d be very interested to learn from you.

    This is an interesting historical article that Ron posted about non hop bitterness substitutions.

  2. February 11, 2010

    Thanks. I’m going to start taking a look at some of the historical texts (like the excerpt provided at that site) that are now on Google Books. Some interesting stuff in there.

I'm glad a new page has been created for the movie. Is this going to be regularly updated as we go along? I suspect that over the next couple of years there's going to be loads of info coming it and the front page may not be the best place for the nitty-gritty. Thanks Peter.

Yes, the intention is to update this one as we go, and I suspect it will most likely develop into more pages beyond that as we get into further detail (same as the other films).

The front page is always a good place to provide a quick pointer to new news, but after a week or so it gets buried, and also gets confusing if there are multiple pieces of news spread across different days, so always best to compile it all together somewhere more permanent as a reference.

Recycling Centers

If you need to dispose of your recyclable products, then you will most likely be taking them to a recycling center. Their guidelines help people who are in need of waste management. While they probably won’t be able to take specialty recyclable items such as scrap metal, they will take simple but bulky items like stacks of paper and plastic. These are some terms that you should know when recycling.

  • Waste Hierarchy - This refers to the universal recycling symbol, the three arrows chasing each other, and their meaning. They stand for: recycle, reuse, and reduce. This is representational of our recycling system and, if followed, can greatly reduce waste products.
  • Recycling Center - A center meant for people to drop off their recycling products such as plastic, aluminum, bottles, glass, cardboard, and other such materials. For things such as a computer, battery, or other electronic devices, depending on your area, there may be separate locations to recycle them or even a city service will pick them up from your home. Waste - There are tons of products that cannot be recycled; those are what are called waste products. Not everything that is not labeled with the recycling symbol isn’t recyclable; for instance, scrap metal can be recycled.
  • Recycling Bin - These bins are usually found next to garbage cans in public places. You can throw all of your recyclable items in these bagged disposal bins, but for some of the bulkier items such as cardboard boxes and other packaging items, it’s probably best to stick them in a larger disposal container.
