Infrastructure Projects to Get Prescribed Asset Status
Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa says Government will give prescribed asset status to funds which will be channelled towards infrastructure development and not consumption. Speaking at the official ground-breaking ceremony of Fidelity Life Southview Park Development, the minister said he will give prescribed asset status to any housing project that is being undertaken in the country.
"Any housing project which comes my way, I will give it prescribed asset status just as what happened with Fidelity Life."
He reiterated that insurance companies and pension funds are a huge source of resource mobilisation.
"Through this project, it has been demonstrated that insurance companies and pension funds possess the ability to harness funds for critical infrastructure development."
"As we go forward I want those resources to go towards infrastructure development such as housing and small hydro projects and not consumption.
"I therefore urge other insurance companies and pension funds such as NSSA and Old Mutual to emulate such developments."
Minister Chinamasa said as recipients of contractual savings such as premiums and pension contributions, insurance companies and pension funds are invited to come up with innovative business initiatives and properly priced products to ensure the recovery of the economy.
"The industry should complain less about inhibiting environmental factors and instead offer solutions," said Minister Chinamasa adding Government will continue collaborating with the insurance industry to ensure a business friendly environment.
Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed Fidelity Life Assurance has anchored its growth on the property development project confident it will deliver a $30 million windfall if all the 5 974 stands are sold. Southview Park, which is located in south-west Harare was launched in 2012 on land purchased from CFI Holdings' Crest Breeders for $3,3 million.
The land area measuring 328 hectares will be divided into 5 974 by 240 square metre stands being sold for $10 500 or flexible payment terms spread over 60 months after the payment of a $3 750 deposit and monthly instalments of $143,42month.
The spread can be 10 years at $89,20 per month.
For this year alone, if 3 500 stands are sold, the group will have a total $32,37 million as proceeds but the total income would get to $34 million after accounting for $4,25 million interest income and taking out $2,62 million insurance. Automatically, the group will offer a loan protection policy and free funeral cover to all who purchase on instalments.
Minister Chinamasa said the Local Government Ministry was working to identify land in cities, towns and growth points throughout where housing projects will be undertaken over the next five years under the Zim-Asset economic plan.
Local Government Minister Dr Ignatious Chombo said his ministry was working on a Land Developers Bill to regulate the property industry and bring sanity in the sector which of late has been shrouded in ownership as well as illegal settling battles.
"My ministry is in the process of developing a Land Developers Bill that will bring sanity in the sector," he said.
He said a lot of residents were being swindled through housing schemes resulting in loss of their hard earned capital in the wake of liquidity challenges facing the economy.
The Finance Minister also said Government will negotiate with foreign investors for infrastructure projects, the portion of risk that can be insured locally after coming to the realisation that most were not insuring their risk with local companies.
"All negotiations will factor in the portion of risk that can be insured locally. This will be so because it is important for economic development to build robust local institutions."

Men's Rapid Rivers™ Printed Short Sleeve Shirt is rated out of 5 by 16.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crystal422 from Sooo cool!! My husband is a sucker for a Hawaiian shirt but lately in stores I couldn't find any that were good quality at a decent price. I have found this one now through Columbia. It's got the print he likes and it is very well made. I will definitely be purchasing more of these types of shirts. Thank you

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mak12 from The perfect Friday shirt! I love Columbia's designs for their button down shirts. I try and wear a Hawaiian shirt every Friday to work and these are perfect because of their durability, great fit, and their quirky patterns. I try and pick one of these up anytime they are on sale.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Aron99 from Weird stain form first wash After the first time through the wash, it came out discolored. I'm not sure why. I washed it with other similar colors and none of those got stained. It's a shame cause it was a good looking shirt.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PeteD805 from Nice... Was hesitant at first but once I tried it on I liked the look and feel of this shirt. I wish it was a cotton blend so ironing wasn't necessary, but since it has a pattern you may not need to. May get another...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevwon from Fun, light, and stretchy This shirt goes anywhere! It's really lightweight so it's comfortable in warm weather. Colors are awesome and bright, and it's ultra comfortable thanks to the stretch fabric. I've hiked and skied in this shirt so it really is a go anywhere, do anything button-down.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PredsFanMatt from Great shirt for what it is Okay, truth be told I have recently had to admit I am becoming a Columbia addict...I have the shirts to prove it. I finally got away from the PFG shirts and bought this cotton print shirt since I am also a big fan of Hawaiian style shirts. I have worn it a few times and I really like it, I just wish it was not 100% cotton, you get spoiled by nylon and wicking shirts and this is not that at all! The fabric itself is not heavy so it wears light which is what I like in a cotton shirt. The printed pattern is very nice and the shirt seems to be well made. It will certainly be in my rotation I will just need to wear synthetic undershirt with it. I would recommend this shirt to others I just wish Columbia would make shirts with these types of patterns available in the PFG line.

RalliSport Challenge 2
We're spoilt for choice when it comes to great Xbox racers right now - but is RalliSport among them, and more importantly, does it offer "the whammy"?
Digital Illusions CE
Think Rally? Think Sega Rally - simple really. 4 tracks, 3 cars and a depth that even Red October hasn't explored. To this day, I've yet to play a racing game that offers intuitiveness and depth in the same beautifully balanced measures as AM3's opus. Still, there's something else about Sega Rally, an aspect of the game that defies description. I can't think of a good name for it, but for now, let's call it "the whammy".
Almost eight years on and several racing games down the line, "the whammy", that inexplicable aspect of a game that absorbs and steals your attention has unfortunately eluded me. As good as Gran Turismo and Project Gotham are, they lack "the whammy", that one component that opens up a game to newcomers and veteran gamers alike. Last week, I received RalliSport Challenge 2, the sequel to one of the Xbox's first titles. It is, dare I say, possibly the finest racing game of this generation so far. As good as we expect Gran Turismo 4 to be, RalliSport 2 is out now.
And the good news is - it comes with the whammy. The moment I hit the accelerator and took my first corner (picture me with a grin to put Gary Shandling to shame) "it" had made itself known. The analogue stick had become a delicate, heavenly instrument that when treated with care and love, gave birth to a truly stunning moment. My eyes were transfixed onto what was happening on screen. I imagined that this feeling is what the great artists of the renaissance must've felt when they stood back and soaked in their work. After a few tiny nudges to the left and the loosening of my grip on the accelerator, I was drifting around a u-turn beautifully.
For those brief milliseconds where you become a spectator to your own input, that's when you realise just how immensely rewarding this game is.
But hold up there - handling is only half the story. Without courses that fully appreciate the masterful handling on offer, you may as well be doing doughnuts for the duration of the game. Much to my delight, I found RalliSport's tracks don't just accommodate the handling; they compel you, urge you to tackle every lovingly crafted corner, bend and u-turn they have. Nowhere is this better illustrated than the career mode.
Here you're given challenges comprised of normal time trials and races against other cars. For each challenge, you're given a list of vehicles that are best suited to the task at hand, all of which are licensed models that most car aficionados will be familiar with. On making your choice, you're eased into the pre-race options menu, should you wish to alter the tuning of your car or merely tinker around with the games settings. From here on in, you're treated to what is perhaps the finest, most lovingly crafted racing package currently available - and for some time after, no doubt.
First thing's first - I urge you to opt for the in-car view. From here, you can fully appreciate the amount of work that's gone into the title, both visually and audibly. In poor weather conditions, you can expect veins of rainwater to trickle down your windscreen in a stunningly convincing fashion, and in the snow, one wrong turn into the side of the road will see your view impaired by a slab of white powder, which your windscreen wiper duly brushes off. Aside from these conditions providing a spin on the conventional gameplay you'll encounter they are also beautiful, beautiful effects that serve to really give "oomph" to the environments.
On a grander scale, each track does a fantastic job of conveying the environment; whether it's a lens flare splashing across your field of view or the beautiful blue hues and tone that your headlights cast on snow covered courses, the setting feels entirely appropriate. On somewhat of a down note, the car models can look a bit Spartan (especially when viewed in a replay), but this really, really isn't a big issue, especially when you spend most of your time in-car.
This sequel to the first RalliSport features a reasonable selection of music tracks to accompany your experience but, as is often the case, you might feel that your own selection of music does a better job. It's a good job then that a custom soundtrack option is present, with all the features you'd come to expect. My tip - Supergrass, Richard III. It was written for Rally games. Probably.
Visuals and handling aside, it's as you progress that the full, glorious extent of the career mode is revealed. From the very first track you tackle to the later, more challenging efforts, the beauty of this modes linear approach is that you'll never encounter a track you have absolutely no hope of conquering. Your ability to do things like take a particularly difficult corner or to shave milliseconds off your time are constantly being nurtured during your progress, to the extent that the only real adversary you end up encountering is yourself.
But then, that's what Rallying is all about. Even though you're racing to beat your opponents' best time on the track, you needn't worry about that furiously challenging and intelligent computer opponent who, despite being slow as hell, just won't let you pass. That's what makes Sega Rally such an enduring classic, and the fact that the developers of RalliSport Challenge 2 understand this whilst giving you a multitude of options and driving conditions means that this game is the perfect amalgam of past glory and present attitudes to longevity; a truly comprehensive racing game.
Don't believe me? This nurturing of skill doesn't start and stop with the offline component of the game, you know. Through the power of Xbox live compatibility, you'll have a huge pool of players to compete with and, if Xbox live players are anywhere near as enthused about this game as I am, the scope for longevity and depth here is immeasurable, something (due largely to lack of technology) Sega Rally couldn't ever hope to achieve.

If I could give people on the internet ONE solid piece of advice, it is this:
Never buy a Chupacabra from someone off ebay. EVER.
In case you've forgotten:
People need to think things through when buying a pet. It's not always a good thing for you or them. Oh and trying to neuter a chupacabra? hahahaha! Good luck with that, buddy! 😀

Periods, on their own, can be very uncomfortable but sometimes it can also trigger a rash making it all the more uncomfortable. This is a common problem faced by women who use commercial pads or sanitary napkins during this period. This is because they contain plastics, scents and chemicals that can irritate the sensitive skin in your genital area. Here are a few tips to help you deal with these rashes:
Change Your Pads Regularly: Whether your flow is light or heavy, the same pad should not be worn for more than 4 to 6 hours. Change your pads even if your pad does not look full once this time has passed. Along with menstrual blood, sanitary napkins also soak up sweat and bacteria. The groyne area is naturally moist and warmer than the rest of your body making it the ideal condition for bacteria to grow. Changing your pad regularly keeps these bacteria from multiplying.
Consider Alternatives: One of the main reasons pads cause rashes is because they rub against the skin and this friction irritates the skin. Hence, consider alternatives like tampons and menstrual cups that do not rub against the skin. You could also try cloth pads made using natural unbleached cotton.
Wear Right Underwear: Avoid synthetic underwear and use the only cotton while you are on your periods. This allows the skin to breathe and keeps moisture from building up inside the underwear. Also, ensure that your underwear fits well and can hold your pad in place.
Clean Well: Do not use wipes or tissue to clean your genital area but instead wash gently with water a few times a day. Once washed, dry the skin thoroughly before putting your underwear on. Do not use any type of soap, body wash or scents in the area. Also, avoid bubble baths and saunas.

I have a great recipe for you! I cooked these Chicken Enchiladas last night...a WW recipe...and they were delicious!
1/2 c Shredded low fat Mexican blend cheese
8 oz Fat Free cream cheese
1/4 c light sour cream
1 lg can plain tomato sauce
1 cup salsa (hotness is your choice)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
8 whole wheat med. soft tortillas (I used 98% Fat Free Tortillas)
1/2 c diced onions
Boil chicken until thoroughly cooked and let cool. Cook onions in microwave for one minute. Shred chicken into a medium mixing bowl and add cream cheese and onions and mix well (I used my hands for this!!!). In a separate bowl, mix tomato sauce, sour cream, and salsa. Pour enough sauce into a baking dish to cover the bottom. Spoon equal amounts of chicken mixture onto the tortillas, spread the mixture the length of the tortilla and roll. Place rolled tortillas in sauce coated baking dish and cover with remaining sauce. Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover , add cheese, and bake for an additional ten minutes.
Serving: 2 Enchiladas = 7 points (@ 3.5 pts/enchilada)
Add a little beans and rice (be sure to add those points) and it makes for a great meal!

Jesus Christ, the Corner Stone for One Another
This post is link eleven in a chain blog initiated by Alan Knox on the topic of "one another." You can find out how to join in the chain blog at the bottom of this post.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. – [Isa 28:16 NASB]
The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone. – [Psa 118:22 NASB]
Have you seen this Corner Stone, dear brothers and sisters? It is our Lord Jesus Christ! He is the costly, chief Corner Stone of the House of God. The Corner Stone is the most important stone in the House. It must be a perfect Stone. All other stones find their place based on this single Stone.
But, that's not all this Corner Stone does.
The Corner Stone links two walls together. Once upon a time, in an old creation, there were Jews and Gentiles. The Jews were God's people, but the Gentiles were far-off from God. One people was filled with the children of God, whereas, the other people was at best, filled up with dogs.
Then, Jesus Christ came and took the Jews and the Gentiles to the cross with and in Him, crucifying them both. Now, in the new creation, there cannot be Jew, nor Gentile. Instead, Christ is all and in all.
Christ is the Corner Stone linking the two walls of the Jews and the Gentiles together into One.
This costly, chief Corner Stone is the basis on which, we relate to one another. This Corner Stone unites us. The old creation is full of every division imaginable. But, there is no division in the new creation. In Christ, we are altogether together One.
In Christ, there are no denominations, races, cultures, religions, philosophies, or any other thing that separates us.
In Christ, we are One Body, One House. Only in Christ can we love one another. Only in Christ can we be kind and compassionate to one another. Only in Christ can we be devoted to one another. Only in Christ can we outdo one another in showing honor. Only in Christ can we encourage one another. Only in Christ can we spur one another on to acts of love and good works. Only in Christ can we submit to one another.
The old creation is summed up with slaying one another. All day, every day, the Adamic race is slaying one other, whether on the battlefield or in the workplace; whether physically or emotionally.
But, we are the new creation! We are united in Christ, our costly, chief Corner Stone! We are ministering Christ into one another! With the Triune God, we are building one another up, into the City of God!
Every time we meet with one another, let's enjoy this Corner Stone. Please, don't leave this blog and say, "Well, that is true, but that's not realistic". If we would just keep our eyes on the Corner Stone and not on our flesh, we would experience the Reality with one another.
O precious Lord Jesus, you are the Corner Stone holding us all together. We are united to the uttermost in You. Open our eyes to see that You are the Reality. Make us see that You are our Corner Stone. Make us see that You hold us all together and everything that separates us is altogether opposed to You. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts to see You in Your glorious fullness. Then we will love one another with Your Love, which You have poured into us, until we have overflowed.
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. – [Eph 2:19-22 NASB]

Where in the Heavenly Places are We Seated?
I think that God did something wonderful in each heart as they learned to share and hear Christ. – John Wilson, Gathering in the Garden
Brother John Wilson, has written another wonderful blog post on an organic gathering of some young saints. It has a very fitting title, Gathering in the Garden. I think that you will enjoy it immensely. Pray that these little ones will be built together, with love, in Christ, as a place a place of rest for our Father.
Now for my blog post…
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, – [Eph 2:4-6 NASB]
Dear saints, you may not feel like it, but you are seated with Christ in the heavenly places. Since you have believed into Christ, you have been utterly and eternally united with Christ. When our Father looks at you He just sees Christ. In Christ, you have been resurrected, ascended, and seated in the heavenly places.
But, what does it mean that we are seated in the heavenly places?
Where in the heavenly places are we seated?
Paul makes it clear that we are seated with Christ and in Christ. So the real question is: Where is Christ seated?
…Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him. – [1Pe 3:21-22 NASB]
O yes, dear brothers and sisters! Let's shout with joy that Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Do you see the implications of this? Since Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God, we are seated at the right hand of God.
Everything that is true of our beloved Lord Jesus, is true of us. When you are seated, you are resting. We are resting, in Christ, at the right hand of God!
I hope that you are enjoying Christ and resting in Him, as that is your rightful place. This doesn't have to be a distant objective reality. We have His Spirit, within us. Turn your mind to the Spirit within you. Love Him and enjoy Him. God is not only in you, but you are in Him. Take pleasure in being in Him. The simplest way I know of turning to the Spirit, is to focus on Him and say, "Lord Jesus, I love You!" But, do not take this as a rule or a method. It doesn't even require words. Just let the love that God has poured into your heart, flow back to Him. Tell Him how lovable He is. He is the delight of the nations! He is the healing of the nations! O glorious and beautiful Lord Jesus, you are our delight and enjoyment. Make our hearts burn within us, for You. Shine Your Face on us. May we be Your enjoyment. May we be Your delight. O thirsty and hungry Lord, enjoy a feast of our enjoyment of Christ.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. – [Eph 1:18-23 NASB]

Creation or Evolution? An Outdated Question, in Christ
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. – [2Cr 5:17 NASB]
Creationists and atheists have long marked evolution as the line of battle. But, the issue is outdated. It has been outdated for about 2,000 years. I'm urging you, my beloved brothers and sisters, to forsake this battle. It is worthless.
Creation is old, aged, elderly, crippled…
It became old when Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It continued to age, when Cain killed Abel. With the flood it aged even more. Then, with the final fall at the tower of Babel, creation became old to the uttermost.
God does not desire anything that is old. God desires what is new and what is fresh. He wrote that desire into our hearts as we constantly fight to keep our youth. Old things rot and die.
He has terminated the old creation on the cross. Then, 3 days later, the new creation came forth, in Christ.
Why are you still debating how the old creation was made? It is dead. It is obsolete. It is fully terminated in God's eyes.
God is looking upon His new creation, with pleasure. It is the apple of His eye. It delights His heart.
As the old creation was in Adam, the new creation is in Christ. Christ is the new creation and if you are in Him, you are new too!
Don't read this blog post, with a natural, unrenewed mind. I am not saying to stop caring about the environment, creatures, and people. We must shine Christ forth to the old creation. Our lives among the old creation must be to declare the glory of the new creation.
We are new! We are fresh! We will never grow old again! We have joined with eternity fellowship of the Godhead, in Christ!
Even if you are aged outwardly, you can be fresh and new through the Eternal Spirit, who is mingled with your spirit.
Give up outdated debates about the old creation, that only puff up the mind. Speak forth the New Man, Jesus Christ. Make Him known with your words and actions. Always be turned to Him in your Spirit, loving Him, delighting in Him, and resting in Him. Then, He will flow out of you like streams of living water, refreshing those, whom He has called.

The Lord's Response to Satan's Accusations Against Us
All Scripture finds its organic center and unity in Jesus. – Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola, Jesus: A Theography
Do you know what happened before the foundation of the world? Go read Frank Viola's blog post, What Happened Before the Foundation of the World? at Beyond Evangelical, containing an excerpt from Leonard Sweet's and Frank Viola's new book Jesus: A Theography.
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel. He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, "Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes." Then I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the LORD was standing by. And the angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing here. – [Zec 3:1-7 NASB]
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. – [Rev 12:10 NASB]
Dear saints, we all experience the constant accusations against us by the evil one. He accuses us day and night. What should we do, in light of his harassment? Should we run? Should we hide? Should we deny his accusations?
We feel ashamed because his accusations against us are true. By nature, we are dirty. We were born in sin. Indeed, when Adam and Eve joined in Satan's rebellion, by eating from the Tree of Knoweldge of Good and Evil, we took the satanic nature into our flesh. Whenever we have tried to do good, our flesh has overpowered us. Thus, Satan has had ground to accuse us before the Lord. Has this been your experience? Have you lived in guilt under his accusations, whether in your mind or from the people around you?
We are standing there in filthy clothes before Christ, who is the Angel of the Lord. Satan is standing to our side, accusing us. Our embarrassment is multiplied as the multitude of angels watch.
Brothers and sisters, the answer is not to argue with Satan. The answer is not to hide ourselves. The answer is not to try to clean our filthy clothes.
Jesus Christ has the answer. He rebukes Satan and proclaims us as a brand, plucked from the fire. He takes away our filthy garments and He takes our iniquity away. We are cleaned to the uttermost, not just our robes, but our turban, as well. He doesn't just give us ordinary clean robes, but festal robes. He turns our sorrow into joy; He turns our mourning into a celebration!
Jesus Christ is the answer. Joshua is us in this picture, but Joshua is also a picture of Christ. He was never dirty, but He put on flesh, as if He was. This picture of us as the High Priest is a foreshadowing of us as the Body of Christ. We are made clean because we are in Him, we are part of Him, we are utterly and intimately united with Him. We do not cleanse ourselves, but He cleanses us.
Don't run.
Don't hide.
Don't argue.
Just trust in our Lord Jesus. Let Him make you clean. He desires to wash your feet. He will rebuke Satan for His accusations. He will cast down Satan. You are now in Christ and your dirty robes have been buried in the tomb. Now, He will put robes of celebration on you!

My brother James is five years older than I am. That means I spent a large chunk of my childhood hanging out with kids who could (and usually did) knock me around whenever we played football or some other game. Then, while these guys were away at work or college for a while, I grew. The next time everyone was home again I wanted to play football, but some of James's friends were not so eager to line up against me anymore!
As it turns out, the "I can't believe how big you got!" phenomenon is not strictly for humans. When Eko was just a few months old, one of his first playmates was Riley, my friend Rachel's pup. Riley towered over Eko and would playfully beat him up for hours on end. Eko loved every minute of it. Rachel recently moved to Chicago and Riley and Eko were reunited yesterday. Eko immediately bounded to Riley, but Riley was too shocked to play – her eyes clearly said "Whoa, you are a lot bigger than I remember!" Riley recovered once she realized Eko had no plans to eat her.
Eko and Riley – they may have swapped relative sizes, but they're still great friends
Riley is now a lot smaller relative to Eko. Just to make sure he had the right friend, Eko gave Riley the sniff test
It was quite a thorough examination but Riley didn't seem to mind
If you are a new Chicago resident and want to know about the city's best restaurants, mechanics, shopping or most other things, I'm not much help. But if you are a new Chicago resident with a dog, Eko and I are the guys you want to talk to. Rachel has a lot of moving to do and needed to tire Riley out beforehand. Not a problem. Eko and I introduced them to Montrose Dog Beach – our favorite place in the city to play.
Riley wanted play fetch but Eko wanted to romp.
As usual, Eko got what he wanted by resorting to thievery!
On land or at sea, The Windy City Bandit will steal your fetch ball to ensure a good chase
After an hour of chasing Eko up and down the beach to get her ball back Riley had accumulated her own body weight in sand. The sure sign of a good time!
Smiles all around for the new old friends! (Hopefully the Ekocam got some good footage)
It was great to see Eko and Riley reunite. I'm sure the two of them will have a blast together all summer. Does your pet have a best pet-friend?

Small Business Rate Relief Grants
A number of local businesses have asked me if I know anything more about the Small Business Rate Relief Grants of £10,000 recently announced by the Chancellor.
I only have access to the same information as everyone else, but the Government's website appears to have a little more detail on it today, as below. Key takeaways are: it is £10,000 for eligible businesses (not "up to"), there is no need to apply (but I'd watch for communication from your Council) and the money should be available from some time in early April...
Support for businesses that pay little or no business rates
The government will provide additional funding for local authorities to support small businesses that already pay little or no business rates because of small business rate relief (SBBR). This will provide a one-off grant of £10,000 to businesses currently eligible for SBRR or rural rate relief, to help meet their ongoing business costs.
If your business is eligible for SBRR or rural rate relief, you will be contacted by your local authority. You do not need to apply.
How to access the scheme
Funding for the scheme will be provided to local authorities by government in early April. Guidance for local authorities on the scheme will be provided shortly.

William Shakespeare
Sonnet Xxix: When, In Disgrace With Fortune And Men's Eyes
Poem by William Shakespeare
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Comments about Sonnet Xxix: When, In Disgrace With Fortune And Men's Eyes by William Shakespeare
Fabrizio Frosini (2/13/2016 1:03:00 PM)
It is uncertain whether the state of disgrace referred to in this sonnet is a real or imaginary one, for we have no external evidence of a dip in Shakespeare's fortunes which might have contributed to an attack of melancholy and a subsequent castigation of fate as the perpetrator. It is tempting to relate works to periods in an author's life. Certainly the years in which Shakespeare wrote Lear and Timon of Athens seem not to have been the happiest of times, but it is almost impossible to correlate particular events in his life, and the possible emotional crises that they could have produced, with publication dates, or known dates of production of his plays.
The sorrow quoted here might be more rhetorical than real, being part of the sonnet tradition, in which many misfortunes contrive to make the lover unhappy. It also serves to highlight the great joy which ends the poem, when he thinks once more on his beloved, as in the psalms, and rises above the clouds.
Fabrizio Frosini (2/13/2016 1:02:00 PM)
1. When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
To be in disgrace with fortune is presumably to be not favoured by her (taking fortune to be the goddess of 111) .
O! for my sake do you with Fortune chide,
The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds,
That did not better for my life provide
Than public means which public manners breeds.
Disgrace is a term which would more usually be applied to a demotion or removal from office. Or to a final humiliation and loss of status. Antony on being defeated by Augustus envisages
The inevitable prosecution of
Disgrace and horror, AC.IV.13.65-6.
In this sonnet the word seems to relate more to a failure to achieve status in the first instance, rather than to a subsequent deprivation.
To be in disgrace (in) men's eyes - this possibly refers to some form of public disapprobation, either real or imaginary. What the disgrace was we cannot say. It could be the mere fact of being associated with the theatre, which by many preachers of the day, and by all Puritans, was considered to be a great den of iniquity and a source of many evils. See the passage at the bottom of this page illustrative of Puritan distrust.
2. I all alone beweep my outcast state,
beweep = weep for, bewail; Like bewail and beseem, the word has an archaic and biblical flavour.
my outcast state = my condition of being a social outcast. The condition is probably exaggerated for the sake of effect, and to emphahsise that the speaker sees everything in a gloomy light. Fortune has turned against him and he feels that he does not belong any more to society.
3. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
deaf heaven - Heaven (God) turns a deaf ear to his complaints and laments. The parallel is drawn with Job in the Old Testament, who was cast out on a dung heap and bewept his mournful state.
bootless = to no avail, achieving nothing.
4. And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
And look upon myself - as the outcast contemplates his own fallen state.
curse my fate - another echo from the Book of Job in the Bible:
After this Job opened his mouth and cursed his day. And Job spake and said: Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, 'There is a man child conceived'. Let that day be darkness, let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. etc. Job.III.1-4.
5. Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Wishing myself to be like one who is more richly endowed with all manner of blessings, including wealth.
6. Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Featured like him, like him = with features like this person, like this second person having friends, like this third, desiring his skills (line 7) etc.
7. Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
this man's art = the skill that one particular person has; that man's scope = the capability, range, mental ability that another particular person has.(Report)Reply
Fabrizio Frosini (2/13/2016 1:02:00 PM)
8. With what I most enjoy contented least;
It is unspecified what he most enjoys, but evidently, in his despondency, things which ought to give him enjoyment do not do so. The implication is that he no longer enjoys the love of his beloved, although that idea is countermanded by the final couplet.
9. Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
in these thoughts = while I am engaged in these thoughts
myself almost despising - and almost considering myself to be despicable for being so cast down.
10. Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Haply = by chance, by a happy stroke of luck;
my state = my mental state, with a suggestion also that his fortune, or the state of affairs in which he finds himself, improves.
11. Like to the lark at break of day arising
There is an echo of this in Cym.II.iii.20-1
Hark! hark the lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise...
12. From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
sullen = gloomy, dark, miserable;
From sullen earth - the phrase may be taken both with this and with the preceding line. The lark rises from sullen earth, and it also sings hymns which rise up from the earth to the gate of heaven, or, as it sings, it rises from earth towards heaven.
sings - the subject is the lark, but also the poet's soul, which has been liberated by his thinking of his beloved.
13. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
thy sweet love remembered = when I have called to mind your love, when your sweet love springs up again in my memory.
14. That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Although the primary meaning is that 'I am happier than a king could be, and therefore have no wish to swap places with him' there is a hint of the political meaning of state, i.e. nation state, as in 64:
When I have seen such interchange of state,
Or state itself confounded to decay;
Hence, 'even though I were to have a kingdom, I would not exchange it for the the happiness of knowing you'.(Report)Reply

All my Orthodox blogging friends are excited that Lent is almost here. We Orthodox really do Lent. None of that giving up chocolate or just going teetotal. That's not to deny that chocolate is off the menu – thanks to dairy in the ingredients. Alcohol is reserved for weekends and all of the fifth week. We even give up meat for an extra week before Lent, before going totally vegan for the duration.
I say "we" in the sense of being a member of the Orthodox Church. I don't do Lent very well. For most Orthodox it is a time of spiritual renewal and cleansing. For me it is mostly a time of guilt. I sometimes get through the first week without meat. Forget Cheesefare Week. I mean the first week starting on Clean Monday (the Orthodox version of Ash Wednesday). I am a carnivore. Not an omnivore. Okay, I eat the vegetables that take up a small area of my plate next to the meat. Left to my own devices – i.e., unless my wife cooks my meals – I'm perfectly happy to just eat meat.
The only mitigation is fruit. I do like fruit. But you can only eat so much of it. I don't think I could be a fruitarian for six weeks. I'd eventually have to have it on top of a meringue, covered in cream. Neither are fasting foods.
I'm the second person St John Chrysostom was talking about in his Paschal Homily. "Ye sober and ye slothful, honor the day. Ye that have kept the fast and ye that have not, be glad today." And I am very glad when Pascha arrives. I love singing "Christ is Risen". And at least for Bright Week the rest of the Church is fast-free like me.

KOTA KINABALU: Tourist arrivals to Semporna have plunged between 80 to 90 per cent following the spate of kidnapping cases in Sabah, said Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) president Datuk Seri Panglima Gan Sau Wah.
Gan, who is also Semporna Chinese Chamber of Commerce president, said tourists were rarely seen in Semporna lately after the abduction incidences.
Furthermore, businesses in Semporna had dropped by at least 40 per cent while developers were also facing difficulties in selling their housing and commercial properties in the east coast, he said when asked to comment on the current situation in Semporna yesterday.
Gan said the kidnapping cases in Semporna, Kunak and Lahad Datu had caused fear among the Chinese investors.
"If these kidnapping cases recur, they will negatively impact on the people and businesses in the east coast, deter foreign investments and tourist arrivals.
Gan said the locals who were born and raised in Semporna were faced with pirates, robbers and kidnappers again and again over the years.

Welcome to autumn in Miami. The air is crisper, holiday decorations abound, and street artists are painting murals on every empty piece of wall. The city is electric with anticipation for Miami Art Week, Art Basel, and the holidays.
With that comes a frenzy of restaurant openings. November saw the openings of the Wharf, 1-800-Lucky, and Norman Van Aken's Three.
The beloved deli Stephen's closed for a revamp, and the last Miami-Dade World of Beer poured its final brew.

I have a git superproject that references several submodules and I am trying to lock down a workflow for the rest of the my project members to work within.
For this question, lets say my superproject is called
supery and the submodule is called
subby. (Then is a simplification of what I'm trying to do...I'm not actually using the branches for versions, but I thought it would be easiest to lay out as a question.)
My master branch of
supery has the tag
v1.0 of the git project
subby referenced as a submodule. The branch of
supery called
one.one and changed the reference of the submodule to point to the tag
v1.1 of
I can work within each of these branches without a hitch, but if I try to update the
one.one branch with changes from the
master branch I receive some conflicts and I don't how to resolve them.
Basically after running a
git pull . master while in the
subby branch, it looks like it creates additional submodules.
Before the pull/merge, I get the desired response from
git submodule from the
one.one branch:
$ git checkout master
$ git submodule
qw3rty...321e subby (v1.0)
$ git checkout one.one
$ git submodule
asdfgh...456d subby (v1.1)
But after the pull, it adds additional submodules when I run
git submodule:
$ git pull . master
Auto-merged schema
CONFLICT (submodule): Merge conflict in subby - needs qu3rty...321e
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the results.
$ git submodule
qw3rty...321e subby (v1.0)
asdfgh...456d subby (v1.1)
zxcvbn...7890 subby (v1.1~1)
How do I delete/ignore the unwanted submodule references and commit my conflicts and changes? Or is there a parameter I can use with my original
git pull that will ignore my submodules?

Atronic Slot Machine
The world of online gambling is expanding on a daily basis. The evidence is the continued production of various slots including Atronic slot machines. There are ever-increasing technological trends. It is an easy thing for many people to forget. Slot machines confined to brick and mortar facilities. When things started to open up for punters, they did not bring then straight to the online world. First, only a few other locations offer slots apart from licensed facilities. In a bid to help individuals access slot machines, various jurisdictions allowed that certain locations offer gaming equipment.
Learn About Atronic Games
Shops, pubs, and in a more recent endeavor, bus, track, and airport terminus are some of the points that offered slots. All these places that were allowed to offer gaming required equipment. That is where Atronic International comes into the picture. This gaming company is responsible for supplying quite some gaming equipment to various spots. The casino gaming software provider is also responsible for the production of Atronic Slot Machine that has come to be popular.
For those that know Atronic International, they can confirm that indeed the gaming company produces gaming equipment in large scale. Many of the gaming equipment consume the vast majority of gamers and their clients that play games online. Besides, this gaming company has produced some reputable games that are Atronic Slot machine games. Here is a list that contains some of the gaming company's games that you can enjoy anytime you want:
• Pyramid of the Sun.
• Sold to the Highest Bidder.
• Crazy Fruits.
The End Of A Brand
Although Atronic International produced slots and developed gaming equipment for some time, the company did not enjoy its fruits for long.
GTECH, an American gaming company, purchased Atronic International in 2008. That marked the end of the original brand that was known as Atronic. A few games that the gaming company had produced still live to tell the story of a once reputable company. A powerful' gaming company acquired them. Nonetheless, the Australian gaming company's employees, gaming equipment, and various online casino games were all transferred to the new owner.
Today, GTECH, an international gaming company based in the U.S. is also the parent company of IGT. IGT is one of the dominant casino gaming software providers the world has today. The giant gaming maestro also owns Spielo and Lottomatica, an influential gaming company whose headquarters are in Italy. It should strike in your mind that before GTECH bought Atronic, the company was working under Gauselmann, another gaming giant based in Germany.
If you ask anybody who knows of gaming in Germany. They will aptly confirm that Gauselmann has a rich history.
The company has been in the Germany gaming industry since 1934. For all these years, the company has provided various games as well as financial services in Germany and Central Europe.
Atronic was born in Australia, became a subsidiary of another gaming company in Germany before it went to the U.S. But the fact remains Atronic slot machines are in the market.

I just have to say… I LOVE TEXAS!!!!!
Monday I flew home (is it really THURSDAY already??? It CAN'T BE!!!), from a WONDERFUL weekend in Houston, Texas… hosting a 2 day Kitchen Sink Stamps workshop.
The cozy event was held at the LaQuinta Inn in Pearland (just south of Houston). Accompanying me on this stamping adventure, was my dear friend Traci (never leave home with out her!) and her daughter (my God Daughter), Kelly. What a blessing to travel and work with loved one's who know you so well, they can finish my sentences for me! 😉
It was great meeting up again with fellow KSCrew members, Lynn and Connie as well as finally getting to meet Makiko for the first time. These talented ladies are just like the beautiful cards they create week after week… more wonderful in real life!!!! A big thank you to Lynn for all the pre-workshop scouting! I owe all the workshop's success to these five talented and giving ladies! I couldn't have done it with out you!
(photo above: Top- Lynn, Kelly, Traci and Makiko. Bottom- Connie and me)
This was KSS's second workshop. Yes, I am a newbie when it come to this kind of thing, but I am loving it! Even though there were some (cough-cough) technical glitches … I had a fabulous time, as I believe so did the attendees. 🙂
It was an absolute pleasure meeting everyone who attended the workshop! It was a thrill for me to meet and get to know each lady! I was so excited to see Anita and Andrea again, who I met at our 1st workshop in Georgia. Yee-Haw Anita, TX does have mighty good fried pickles!!! What fun to meet Lydia from SCS and Dana, whose sunny smiles are contagious & kept me giggling with their "SQUEEEE" and "TWEETS" throughout the workshop! 😉 And after all this time, to finally meet Billie Dee, Shelley, Susan and Linda, as well as being introduced to Donna, Esther, Lynn, Teddie, Andie and her mom, Penny. What an awesome group of ladies and stampers!!!! Y'all are now masking masters!!!
Besides the fun projects & cards that Lynn, Connie and Makiko designed & prepared for everyone, here is a sample (and a SNEAK PEEK to Monday's New Stamp release) of the masking techniques the attendees mastered ….. they ROCKED it! … or maybe I can say…they "hooked em!" Yee-Haw! 😉
Thank you Ladies for a wonderful time and the warm Texas Welcome! I would LOVE to come back again! Giant Inky Hugs!!!!
Left to right – Top Row: Donna, Susan, Andie, Lynn, Dana, Lydia, Billie Dee and Andrea.
Middle Row: Lynn, Makiko, me, Traci and Connie
Bottom Row: Linda and Anita
…and as for the WBPS ….
get this one… I had it up on Tuesday! (yikes!)
LOL!!!! (rolling my eyes and shaking my head)
Time for Kitchen Sink Stamps' Wednesday Blue Plate Special!
.. and it will stay up until Sunday, midnight (PST).

It's been a hell of a decade for steamy, sexy movies. The years from 2005-2015 have given us a lot of sexy movies to fantasize about — admit it, I know that I can't be the only one who's dreamed of being on the receiving end of one of those Magic Mike routines, right? The decade has brought us some new heartthrobs (I'm talking about Channing Tatum and Emma Stone to name a few), but more than that, it has brought some of the most female positive sex scenes to the big screen. With Crimson Peak getting a lot of attention for its feminist sex scene, let's take a look back at the other sexy movies that treated women right. These are the nine sexiest movies of the last decade.
Magic Mike, $4, Amazon; Crimson Peak, $10, Amazon
What makes a movie sexy, you ask? For the purposes of this article, I have set forth a few criteria: 1) The movie must feature women in sex scenes as more than just objects (unless it is absolutely necessary for the story), and 2) The movie must feature some steamy scenes (no PG petting here). So without further ado, here are some of the sexiest movies to come from the last decade.
Lust, Caution (2007)
Lust, Caution (originally titled Se, jie) is an epic story set around WWII. A young Chinese woman, Wang Jiazhi, becomes entangled with a Japanese official Mr. Yee as a spy, recruited to kill him. What follows is a twisted love affair, complete with beautifully filmed and explicit sex scenes guaranteed to get your heart pumping. From director Ang Lee, this drama received an NC-17 rating for "explicit sexuality" from the MPAA. Make of that what you will.
Magic Mike (2012)
It would be a crime to leave Magic Mike off this list. Steven Soderbergh's film inspired by star Channing Tatum's life as a stripper is nothing short of awesome. Though it may not feature any particularly hot sex scene, the fact that it features Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello taking their clothes off specifically for our viewing pleasure is more than enough to make this movie scorching hot.
Love & Other Drugs (2010)
Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway play lovers in this dramedy about a pharmaceutical rep (Gyllenhaal) who falls in love with a woman with Parkinson's (Hathaway). The plot description might not sound incredibly sexy, but that's only because the emotional arc of the film is slightly more substantial than the amount of sex they have — slightly.
Crazy Stupid Love (2011)
OK, so Crazy Stupid Love isn't super super sexy. But, let me just leave you with this: Ryan. Gosling. Dirty. Dancing. You're welcome.
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Whether or not you think Fifty Shades of Grey is feminist or not, there's no denying that the movie is pretty darn sexy.
Friends With Benefits (2011)
Oh, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, how could you think two beautiful people such as yourselves could possibly just be friends? Lucky for us, the movie is full of fun and flirty sexiness while the two of them figure out they're meant to be.
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Based on the novel by Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha tells the story of Nitta Sayuri (Ziyi Zhang), a girl who becomes one of Japan's most sought after geishas. The movie is sexy, but not overly so — never allowing you to forget the oppressive nature of her job.
The First Time (2012)
The First Time isn't sexy in the same way as Magic Mike and Fifty Shades — it's more of a sweet sexy. Fitting, considering the movie is about two teenagers who share their first time over a whirlwind weekend. What really makes the movie sexy are the two leads, Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson.
Magic Mike XXL (2015)
Aw, you didn't think I'd forgotten about Magic Mike XXL, did you? Arguably one of the sexiest movies of the past decade, Magic Mike XXL has everything: hot guys, good music, strong female character(s) — OK, the movie could have used a bit more women, but it made up for it in non-objectification of female extras. There is almost too much sexy in Magic Mike XXL. ALMOST!
A few honorary mentions for your viewing pleasure: The Perfect Guy , Shame (Michael Fassbender, helloooo), and Two Night Stand . Enjoy your sexy time!
The Perfect Guy, $13, Amazon; Shame, $4, Amazon; Two Night Stand, $4, Amazon

Concert in homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat.
The conductor and composer Matthias Pintscher, along with Bryce Dessner and the soloists of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, will present a new programme inspired by the work and life of Jean-Michel Basquiat. An "oddly beautiful" musical journey, to quote Basquiat himself, featuring the premiere of a piece by Pintscher for three trumpets, along with works by John Cage, George Crumb, Yann Robin and Bryce Dessner.
It is not widely known that Basquiat was also a musician. In 1979 he formed a group, Gray (in reference to the famous textbook Gray's Anatomy), which he described as a "noise band". "I played with a file on a guitar and a synthesiser. At the time I was inspired by John Cage – music that isn't really music. We were trying to be incomplete, abrasive, oddly beautiful."
"Oddly beautiful" is what characterises this programme conceived specially by Matthias Pintscher and the soloists of the Ensemble Intercontemporain to complement the Fondation Louis Vuitton's major retrospective of the enfant terrible of the New York underground scene.
As Basquiat did with his work, George Crumb draws inspiration from a multitude of sources (spirituality, childhood, the contemporary world, etc.), working with unusual techniques, layering sounds and quotations. The same is true of the uncategorisable Bryce Dessner, who deliberately seeks "a certain naivety in his approach, always trying to create new experiences by merging different worlds in the score". And the music of Yann Robin gives off a similar energy, powerful expression and "noise and abrasiveness" to Basquiat's paintings.
Resonating with these composers, the programme opens with the world premiere of a work by Matthias Pintscher, commissioned by the Fondation Louis Vuitton. This short piece is inspired by the personality and works of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

One of the new features of Wrath & Glory, Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay is the addition of card decks to represent many of the random effects built into the game. While there are still random tables in the book for many of these effects, the use of cards enhances the experience greatly.
Let's take a look at some specific card samples to show you what we mean.
[Blocked Image: https://www.ulisses-us.com/wp-…-BoneshatteringImpact.jpg]
The Wrath Deck handles two things at once.
First, it is a direct replacement for the Critical Hit table. When you're using the Wrath Deck for crits, the top card is revealed at the beginning of combat so that everyone can see what the next crit will be. This lets players spend Wrath for rerolls to help them get it more quickly if it looks very helpful, or it lets the card loom ominously over the combat as everyone wonders how long before that crit comes their way. As you can see, there's also some great art and flavor text to help with visualizing the crit itself. (Note – Severity refers to greater effects that can be achieved with shifts or Glory expenditures.)
Second, the Wrath Deck is used for resolving Threatening Tasks. This is a special narrative mechanic that allows you to set scenes where the player characters need to accomplish something while under fire. The full explanation of how these work will be in the Core Rules, but the short version is that the symbols in the lower right connect to character keywords and indicate who can work towards resolving the Threatening Task on a given round.
[Blocked Image: https://www.ulisses-us.com/wp-…8/06/Campaign-Nemesis.jpg]
The Campaign Card Deck is the one deck that does not have a corresponding table in the rulebook. That's because it is player-facing rather than randomized. Players draw from this deck and choose when to play their cards.
As you can see from this example, these cards typically have effects that are both good and bad. Most importantly, though, they tend to set up more interesting stories. And players can never complain that the game master is targeting them, because they did it to themselves.
Perils of the Warp
[Blocked Image: https://www.ulisses-us.com/wp-…Perils-UnnaturalUrges.jpg]
The Perils of the Warp Card Deck is specifically designed for the punishing effects psykers face when their powers go wrong. The table with which this deck corresponds is slightly larger because this is one of the few times a player might be rolling multiple Wrath Dice. To help simplify that process, this deck is subdivided based on how many Wrath Dice the psyker has rolled.
You may notice that rolling more Wrath Dice is not always good.
Combat Complications
[Blocked Image: https://www.ulisses-us.com/wp-…6/Combat-WeaponLodged.jpg]
Of the four decks, the Combat Complications deck is probably the most straightforward. That's because the table it replaces is fairly simple. However, we can offer some additional specificity and randomization through the cards beyond what is listed in the table.
All of these decks are currently available as part of the All-In bundle on the Wrath & Glory pre-order page. Head there now!

Is there a way to change the default setting from "Dependents Down" to "Providers Down"? Is there a change to the cmdbvisualizerconfig.properties file that can be, can something be added to the url, can another file be edited or is something else to make this happen?
Currently the Service CI will display at the bottom in the Dependents Down setting. Each time the Visualizer is open by an technician the "Invert Graph" button has to be selected. Since the Visualizer will only be viewed by technicians and not customers, it would be nice to save them this step.
Also, can someone please post a copy of the default cmdbvisualizerconfig.properties file? I do not have access to ours.

According to Hekian, the Colorless Swamp was once known as the Bottomless Swamp (Sokonashi Numa), though it is unknown why or when the name changed.[2]
Land Specifics
The entrance to Lord Uro's dimension is located within a lake deep in the swamp, and only he and his servant Mamezo can enter or exit freely. Within this dimension is a spherical barrier that serves as Lord Uro's bed, maintained by an ancient box. Every so often, the box cracks, and can only be repaired by a Kekkaishi of sufficient skill and power (so far, only Tokiko Yukimura and Yoshimori Sumimura are known to have done this).[3]
Guardian Deity
Lord Uro is a peaceful nature god that spends much of his time either eating or sleeping. He only seems to leave his swamp in order to have a Kekkaishi repair his home, and Mamezo acts as his representative otherwise. While he rarely interacts with humans, Lord Uro seems to share Tokimori Hazama's belief that the natural world should be preserved when supernatural forces are involved: Lord Uro consumes a great deal of food during his trips into civilization, but he always returns what he eats in some form. Lord Uro's territory originally included Karasumori, which was in fact at the center of his domain. However, he agreed to hand the land over to Hazama in exchange for a new home in the Colorless Swamp.
