Below is a collection of local professionals and shops with a good reputation from the Vietnamese blogger Hét Photography (Hetagram).
Most of the dishes mentioned in the text can be found not only at the addresses indicated in the photo and text but also in other places in the region. Keep in mind that street food in Vietnam is a very special culture.. Often local food shops look something like this: a tiny food tray, in which one dish is prepared and a couple of low tables-high chairs right on the sidewalk next to the tray. Another popular street format is the so-called shops, small open spaces with an open kitchen or the same food tray and tables and chairs. Shop menus are usually limited to several dishes, often even one. Therefore, look at the signs, come closer, watch how the food is prepared and in what condition the serving dishes. If everything is clean, the food is hot, and there are a lot of satisfied locals near the tray / in the shop, experiment boldly!
If you still do not risk eating on the street, it does not matter. In almost any restaurant in Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An there is always a couple of local specialties to choose from.
Banh Mi – Vietnamese Sandwich
The main ingredient of the traditional Vietnamese sandwich is an airy and fragrant French baguette, which is called Banhmi (Banh Mi). Baguette is filled with different mixtures with the characteristic – Vietnamese flavors that provide fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs and seasonings. Frenchness adds the use of different pate and mayonnaise, typical of French cuisine.
Banhi Mi Phuong
A local star in Hoi An. Madame Phuong cooks her benches with pork pate, grilled pork, pickled papaya, fresh vegetables and a mixture of herbs. Address in Hoi An: 2b Phan Chu Trinh (all addresses see below on the map).
Banhi Mi Sum
A lesser-known variant of the Banha, which is often recommended by locals. This is a small food tray, equipped with a grill, on which pork and banhi beef are fried and bread is heated. You can choose the main ingredients. Hoi An Address: 149 Trần Hưng Đạo.
Two other places in Hoi An where you can taste the delicious local banhi:
Banh Mi Khan, 115 Tran Cao Van
Banh mi Lanh – a tray next to the Nam Quang pagoda
Banh Canh – Tapioca Noodle Soup
The name of the soup is translated as "bread soup." Flour from which noodles are made, ground from tapioca (sweetish starchy cereal), sometimes with the addition of rice. The consistency of noodles is quite dense, taste adds rich pork broth. These two ingredients are the basis for banhankha, and then there are variations with the addition of a different type of protein (meat of pork, chicken, fish, shrimp or crab) and greens.
Banh Canh belongs to the local Hue specialties and is offered in many restaurants and food shops in the city.

Bun Bo Cha – noodle and pork soup
Bunch bo bo – Specials Hue, a variant of the legendary Vietnamese Bunch soup (bun cha), which is usually made from noodles and pork with greens, papaya or pineapple, tomatoes, wheat germ, vegetables and a rich sweet and sour sauce.
You often come across variations of the bun (bun) in Vietnam. As well as pho (pho), the bun is a variant of local rice noodles (rice thin vermicelli). In Hue, for example, Bun Bo Hue, a beef bun based on rich beef broth with boiled beef, is also very popular.
Bun Ngne – noodles with turmeric and orange paste
This special in Hue is a joy to the eye. Well, for the body, because kurkuma is a very "healthy" spice, which has a beneficial effect on blood circulation and heart function. Different types of meat are usually added to the bright yellow noodles, also cooked with the addition of turmeric. Like most dishes in Hue, noodles are served with a large number of greens and dried shrimps.
Bun cha ca
The main ingredient of Danan Bunch Ka is fish. Always fresh, in different places cooked in different ways – sometimes boiled or grilled in a piece, sometimes in the form of fish pato or fish balls, sometimes steamed or fried in batter. Greens, onions, chili, shrimp paste, and sauces are usually served with Buncha Ka, which brings the taste of the basic soup to the desired.
Bun Cha Ca Ba Hoa (27 Le Hong Phong), Bun Cha Ca Hon (113/3 Nguyen Chi Thanh) and Bun Cha Ca 109 (109 Nguyen Chi Than) are placed in Da Nang where you can taste especially delicious bunch ka.
Mi Quang – rice noodles and turmeric
This specialty of Quang Province, whose capital is Hoi An, is served in one form or another in almost all the restaurants in Hoi An and many restaurants in nearby Da Nang. This version of Mi noodles can be tried only here. It is made from rice flour with the addition of turmeric. The noodles are served with a small amount of bouillon, meat, shrimps, egg yolks, nuts, greens, and shrimp chips. The beauty of this dish is in the texture and combination of soft noodles with hard and crunchy ingredients.
Banh Vac (White Rose) – rice dumplings with shrimps
This dish can be tasted exclusively in Hoi An. The recipe belongs to the same family, which sculpts and delivers its dumplings to all the restaurants and restaurants in the city (the family also owns White Rose's restaurant, 533 Hai Bà Trưng in Hoi An ). In all the menus this dish is called White Rose (white roses), since the dumplings are molded in such a way that, under the influence of steam, the dumpling takes the form of a rose. Stuffing – shrimp with spices. Served with salted dried garlic and special sauce.
Banh Beo – Spiced Rice Cakes
Banh Beo – this tasty, in fact, Special Hue, adapted in Da Nang. It is a delicate consistency of steamed muffins made of rice and tapioca (usually portioned), sprinkled with dried shrimps on top. Fish sauce with chili (based on the fermented fish sauce), as well as different topping options, are surely served to bangles.
Banh Cuong Nong – rice crepe dumplings
Unlike steamed bagebeos, here the main ingredient is the finest fried rice crepe pancakes, from which dumplings with different fillings are formed (depending on the place, but most often with pork and mushrooms). In Ba Gia (38 Ngo Gia Tu) in Da Nang (where, by the way, you can also try traditional punch with pork), pork pate, greens and sauce are dipped in dumplings.
Che Thai – fruit dessert with coconut milk and durian
A variation of the famous Thai dessert, popular in Da Nang, in contrast to the original, is made with the addition of durian, a very specific fruit with a strong smell. The dessert also includes traditional ingredients – pieces of fruit, jelly and cold coconut milk.
The best version of this dessert in Da Nang on the recommendations of the locals can try Che Thai Lien (189 Hoang Dieu).
Tao Pho – Cold Tofu Pudding with Ginger Syrup
Another cold dessert, almost iconic in Vietnam. In Hoi An and Da Nang, the classic taste of the dessert is enhanced by a sour-spicy ginger syrup. In addition to the syrup, jelly pieces and "black pearls" (balls, ice or just tapioca sauce) are added to the pudding.
Chan Muoi – salty lemonade
Very refreshing, with a slightly salty taste, lemonade is made from two simple ingredients – lemon and water. The secret of the drink is in lemon, which is salted in a large amount of salt for at least several weeks before the lemon is ready for use. A very popular drink in Vietnam, especially in the central part of the coast.
Mot – cold herbal tea
Cold herbal tea, which became the symbol of Hoi An on Instagram, thanks to the photogenic supply. Lime, lemongrass, and ginger are added to tea, all this beauty is served with lotus leaves and petals.
You can try the tea at the Mot Hoi An tea shop (150 Trần Phú) in Hoi An. Most recently, Mot replaced plastic cups with paper cups, and plastic tubules with bamboo cups — an eco-initiative that only adds bonuses to this wonderful place.

Someday, CAPTCHA security tests -- designed to make sure you're not a bot -- will seem as unnecessary as a middle-aged man being carded at a bar. But, since bio-factor recognition is not yet commonplace, Confident Technologies has released what it calls the first enterprise-level CAPTCHA for mobile devices.
The new Confident CAPTCHA -- apparently confident that it won't fail in its job as a virtual bouncer -- is specifically designed for smartphones and tablets. But, instead of asking you to type the letters of a word that looks like it was copied onto Silly Putty and twisted, this CAPTCHA mercifully requests you select several small pictures on the screen as "answers" to a series of brief instructions.
Grid of Images
Bots are evil cousins to intelligent software, intended to spread spam, register accounts that aren't real, make fraudulent purchases, and otherwise be a threat to password-protected sites and apps. As malware increasingly infects mobile devices, CAPTCHAs are called to arms -- but, fortunately, the Confident folks understand that twisted word recognition, hard enough on a large-screen computer, could be downright infuriating on a smartphone's small screen. Worse, it could make a user abandon a purchase.
In addition to having to scroll, zoom or move a word-based CAPTCHA on a smartphone, for instance, users also have to call up and use the keyboard, and often switch the keyboard modes between letters, numbers and symbols while they type.
Instead, this mobile CAPTCHA displays a grid of images that scales to fill the screen of the mobile device, so no scrolling or zooming is needed to read it. The grid orients to portrait or landscape orientation, and the user taps the appropriate images with a thumb.
Do That, Human
The mobile CAPTCHA displays a brief instruction about which images you should tap. For instance, as shown in a Confident demo video: "Click the toys and games." After clicking on the image(s) that is a toy or game, the user is then instructed to click on the car, the flower, and the dog, in sequence.
Do that, and you truly are a human.
Confident Executive Vice President Bill Goldbach said in a statement that "the typing- and text-based approaches to CAPTCHA used on most websites today are so difficult and frustrating for mobile users they are nearly unworkable." He also noted that, as smartphones and tablets are increasingly used for common computing tasks, Confident CAPTCHAs offer a balance between security and usability.

Top 5 Venison Recipes
Venison is meat that comes from a deer Venison which is usually hunted during the season that is permitted to hunt. A hunting license usually has to be acquired depending on the state that the hunter is residing in to be able to hunt. There is also various specified times throughout the year where hunting is permitted and that also varies from state to state. Hunting outside of the specific times is considered illegal and a hunter could face fines and penalties up to having their licensed revoked.
Venison is enjoyed by many and there are many recipes and version of how to cook the meat. Some of the most popular ways to consume the meat is ground up and put in sausage or a ground meat dish such as chili. Many enjoy venison roast recipes; it can be enjoyed as a steak or dried into a jerky. There are delicious soup variations featuring the delectable meat, and any other recipe that can be thought of that include meat that venison can be used in.
Venison is a lean meat that does not contain the amount of fat as more popularly consumed meats such as beef, pork, and chicken. Resulting in a firmer texture that make not be as juicy as a piece of beef. However, venison is high in vitamins such as iron, and B6 just to name a few. Venison has been deemed safe to consume as long as it is cooked within the guidelines that meat is considered to be done.
Venison is sold in some specialty meat shops and select grocery stores. Much of the meat is obtain through trophy hunt. Trophy Hunting is recreational sport and deer are the game that is hunted in Northern America. When an animal is killed through the sport of trophy hunting the head of the animal is usually salvaged as the trophy for the kill and the edible parts of the animal are usually donated or sold for consumption.
Whitetail deer hunts are usually organized to hunt white tail deer. Moreover, there are organizations that offers recreational gaming to licensed hunters. Many of these organizations also offer educational courses for gaming and hunting as well as contest that offer prize amounts. There are fees associated with obtaining a hunting license as well as for entering contest in which prizing can be obtained, but for a true hunter it is more the sport than any amount of money.
With the donation of the edible parts of a kill, hunting serves two purposes. With most of the meat being donated, it results in meals being provided that would other wise have to be bought and paid for. Any family that enjoys the rare delicacies of venison would appreciate the meal.

It has begun. The cables. The color. The excitement. It's all so delicious.
I searched and SEARCHED for my next sweater pattern and just couldn't decide. I DO want to make this gorgeous lil' baby (The Nordic Cardigan):
…but am waiting on my shipment of cashmere/silk yarn (yes, you heard me…right this red hot minute I've got some beautiful, sumptuous cashmere/silk being spun up for us in the mill) to dye up into a similar charcoal shade … and then I'll attempt it.
But for now I'm creating this gorgeousness.
It's the Dark and Stormy pattern by Thea Coleman and I am in love with it.
Here's the deal:
•The Cowl Cami I made helped me to realize I could actually make something that fits.
•The Simplest Sweater I made showed me I could make an actual SWEATER, with sleeves and all.
•The Shapely Boyfriend Cardigan proved that I can make a cardigan, with sleeves, with buttons and button holes and a shawl collar.
So here we are… and I'm upping the game again.
•This time we've got sleeves. We've got buttons and buttonholes. We've got a shawl collar. AND…
•We've got cables.
Oohhhh, yes. Cables. Ugh. They have given me such fits in the past on previous cabled sweater attempts (failed attempts).
But this time I am beyond determined (is that possible?) to finish this sweater and to absolutely LOVE it.
OH! And in case you're wondering what that black arrow is, I am showing you where a line seems to run horizontal on the sweater. I didn't want you to worry. It's just there because I blocked (wetted and pinned to dry overnight) the top part of the sweater, and once dry, I continued knitting down and the bottom part has not been blocked yet. So it makes a line. But it will smooth out once all done and blocked for real.)
I am already wild about it.
I've decided to try more difficult sweaters even if they take longer to make because I'd rather have 5 sweaters I absolutely adore and feel amazing in, than 10 that are all just okay and leave me feeling dumpy and "unfabulous."
So. That is the progress I've made so far. It's slower going of course than the basic stockinette sweaters I've been making, but little by little I am making progress. (Oh, BTW, the yarn is my Glass Blue superwash merino worsted, which I will dye up more of just as soon as my dyes arrive in the mail!)
I've had a lot of comments on Facebook and my blog saying what a fast knitter I am…I don't know if it's so much fast, as I just do a lot of it.
I do knit continental (yarn in left hand), which does make for rather fast ribbing, seed stitch or any other combination of knitting and purling.
But if you'd be interested in my speed knitting tips, do let me know below! I have a couple secrets up my sleeve.
Alrighty…. have a beeee YOU tiful day!

Today, I filed an affidavit filed today in Federal District Court in Atlanta in support of Common Cause Georgia's case filed against Brian Kemp, Secretary of State. (When Kemp resigned, the case continued against his successor Robyn Crittenden.)
I included the expert report from our consultant CohereOne stating that 340,134 voters wrongly purged from Georgia's voter rolls "without notice" by Brian Kemp. All these voters lost their right to vote in 2016 and 2017 while Kemp was Secretary of State and preparing his run for Governor.
I also listed the names of voters, including the 92-year-old Christine Jordan, whom I witnessed illegally blocked from voting. I also told the court I witnessed and filmed voters illegally blocked from receiving provisional ballots:
"From my 18 years of experience in investigating voter purges nationwide, and from what I witnessed on Election Day in Georgia, there can be no doubt that the extraordinarily massive and wrongful purge by cancellation of voters is a major cause of the spike in provisional ballots and Election Day polling place chaos.
"Furthermore, the number of provisional ballots would have been higher, possibly by many multiples, except for poll workers and officials who refused purged voters provisional ballots.
"For example, Ms. Yasmin Bakhtiari told me via video that she found her registration cancelled on Election Day. Her request for a provisional ballot was rejected three times over a two hour wait."
Our team has been investigating the purge of Georgia voter rolls by Kemp for 5 years, first for Al Jazeera and Rolling Stone and now for Salon and BET.
Our investigation was also cited by the Brennan Center for Justice and a Plaintiff for Common Cause of Georgia in their original application to delay the vote count deadline and count rejected provisional ballots.

Indian-origin MP advocates tough stand against criminals
"The system of justice in Canada is lenient and it is like a revolving door, where criminals enter from one side and move out from the other. The judicial system needs to be toughened," feels Parm Gill of Indian origin, who is Conservative Party's member of Canadian parliament from Brampton Springdale constituency.india Updated: Sep 02, 2012 20:58 IST
"The system of justice in Canada is lenient and it is like a revolving door, where criminals enter from one side and move out from the other. The judicial system needs to be toughened," feels Parm Gill of Indian origin, who is Conservative Party's member of Canadian parliament from Brampton Springdale constituency.
"So our party is going tough on the criminals," said 38-year-old Moga-born Gill, representing a constituency of 5.23 lakh population of which one-third belongs to Indian community, predominantly Punjabis.
Brampton, among other cities in Canada, is called Punjab away from Punjab, where Indians own every third house.
As a number of gangs had taken root in Canada and Ontario province, of which Brampton is part, is also fighting the menace, the Conservative Party has introduced C-394 bill in the provincial assembly, which proposes enactment of strong laws for anyone proved of recruiting other persons into a gang. "At least six months of imprisonment for such person and it would not be easy going for criminals in Canada."
This is bad news for those from Punjabi community indulging in gang wars. In recent times, there has been a spurt of gang wars involving Indians, especially Punjabis.
Gill, who shot into fame for his tough stand against same-sex marriage and defeated Ruby Dhalla, three-time MP from the constituency, faces the charge that the Conservative Party is going the Texas way and polarising society by announcing tough measures against criminals.
"No we are not polarising society, neither going the Texas way, but are making efforts that the law be taken seriously and there are stricter ways to implement it so that no one can take it easy after committing a crime," Gill said. "I think fighting for the rights of a victim is everyone's duty," he reiterated.
When asked about the need to have a special law related to recruitment in gangs, he said, "Most crimes are organised, either related to drugs or weapons, so our idea is not to let these gangs take shape, just suppress and liquidate them at the initial stage."
Replying to a debate in Canada that Conservatives are enacting laws that would take away discretionary powers out of the purview of the judicial system, Gill said, "Not exactly, but we are making punishment mandatory for every crime."
The local Indian population has a grouse against their elected representative that south Asians are not given government jobs. Gill accepted the fact saying job seekers from south Asia are unable to avail the job avenues at the right time. "I hope to see second-generation south Asians in government jobs, in a decade or so," he said.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece is nothing short of an audio visual stunner - but with a new setting and new features, does it come together? Full review with media.
There's little that over the years, the Metal Gear Solid series has garnered tremendous acclaim as one of the most visually compelling, cinematic showpieces in gaming, and deservingly so. The Hideo Kojima series has continually pushed the envelope and stretched the technical boundaries of console technology with its unique style of visual storytelling and stealth action play. The legacy continues with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, once again engaging players with another truly captivating and cinematic experience.
This latest chapter is certainly an interesting departure from previous entries in the series, introducing a variety of new features and play mechanics, helping to redefine the dynamics of the game. Back on the PS1, the original MGS made quite a splash, and is considered one of the best games of that era by many gamers. Solid Snake's first 3D adventure had him infiltrate a hidden Alaskan military compound in order to rescue hostages and stop a terrorist group from launching a nuclear strike. In the stunning PS2 sequel, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the action took Snake to a tanker secret transporting a new prototype of Metal Gear technology to an unknown destination, although some fans were irked that Snake, while prominent, was somewhat relegated to playing second fiddle to a rookie newcomer.
Of course, Metal Gear is Snake's show, and with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the spotlight returns - he's back, and despite being younger, less battle-weary with fewer battle scars, he's still as jaded and cynical as ever. In his latest, and arguably greatest adventure yet, Snake - who's known as Naked Snake this time - is thrust into a deadly jungle where he'll need to utilize stealth, special combat techniques, and basic primal instincts in order to survive the harsh jungle environment.
The Story So Far
Instead of moving forward, Metal Gear Solid 3 plays out like a prequel to Snake's adventures, taking players on a journey back in time to a period when the threat of full-scale war fell somewhere between a passing fear and a frightening reality. The setting: sometime in the 1960s, at the dawn of the Cuban missile crisis. As a major power struggle ensues between two rival nations, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, a powerful new weapon of mass destruction lurks in the shadows. The Shagohod was created by a brilliant Soviet scientist named Nicholai Stepanovich Sokolov, who had originally defected to the West but then returned to the Soviet Union as part of the deal the U.S. government made to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Realizing the tremendous error made in turning Sokolov over to the Soviets - who plan to have him resume development of the weapon - the CIA sets their plan in motion to recapture Sokolov by dispatching the covert FOX unit to his research facility. With that, FOX unit member Naked Snake is called into action and embarks on another dangerous sneaking mission, one that not only takes him deep into a Soviet jungle but also into the heart of enemy territory in hopes of rescuing Sokolov before the terrifying new weapon is completed.
But as is always the case with the MGS games, mystery and intrigue is the order of the day, and what initially starts off as a straightforward fact-finding rescue mission develops into much more along the way, as Snake goes behind enemy lines and uncovers a deeper, more insidious plot behind the events. Along the way he'll interact with a variety of interesting characters. Colonel Volgin's presence is dark and foreboding as he attacks using electric bolts; EVA, is a sexy and mysterious former NSA code breaker, who works as a KGB spy and helps Snake out. There's also fancy gunslinger Ocelot, a brash young major who works for Volgin. Despite Ocelot's penchant for firearms and showmanship, he still lacks any real battle experience.
The Boss, on the other hand, is a legend in her own right and quite possibly the most interesting character in the game, because of the connection she shares with Snake. She served as his mentor during the 50s, so when the two cross paths again, Snake finds himself in a tough position standing on the opposing end of the battlefield. The Boss's new Cobra Unit is a covert, special forces unit with some of the best soldiers the Soviet has. Each member is named after the emotion they carry into battle with them - for example, The Pain, The Fear, The Joy, and The Sorrow - and possessing conventional and unconventional combat skills, making for quite a handful when taking them on in the game's spectacular boss fights - just wait until you face off against The End...
As Snake prepares to begin the main portion of his adventure, players are treated to a beautifully cinematic sequence onboard a military plane. Snake parachutes out and touches down in some remote jungle area, where his mission profile calls for him to work his way through the dense jungle undetected, infiltrate a heavily guarded enemy compound in order to rescue Sokolov and head for the Soviet Mountains.
However, in order to accomplish such a task Snake first needs to retrieve his all-important survival backpack which was lost on the way down. Afterwards he'll need to become one with nature as he works his way through alligator filled swamps, darkened caves, forests rigged with mines and booby traps, and other dangerous parts of the jungle on his way to the various enemy compounds - relying on basic primal instincts and stealth to survive the harsh jungle, and using it to his advantage against the enemy.
Survival of the Fittest
Something that certainly stands out in MGS3 over its predecessors is the level of depth the game exhibits when trying to keep Snake healthy, by maintaining his life and stamina gauges. Because of the way the game is set up, the stamina gauge has an effect on the natural recovery process of Snake's life gauge, so keeping his stamina high is an important aspect of the game as it not only affects his recovery but his performance as well.
As Snake braves the jungle, he'll need to eat something - anything - to maintain his stamina and obviously since there aren't many fast-food joints in the jungle, he'll need to look to Mother Earth for nourishment. With that he's able to shoot down fruits from trees, chow down on mushrooms, kick, shoot, or gut bull frogs, snakes, rabbits, bats, rats, and alligators, and much more besides to be found throughout the jungle.
Given the added realism of the game, and the different types of danger Snake encounters, he's quite susceptible to illnesses and injuries from poisonous snake bites, scorpion stings, broken bones, burns, deep cuts, bullet wounds, and other injuries that can have negative effects if left untreated. Fortunately, with all of the medical items in his arsenal of goodies, more of which can be acquired throughout the game, he's capable of treating any medical related problems. Dipping into Snake's backpack reveals all of the survival gear a boy scout would need.
Camouflage Index System
While the core gameplay features of MGS3 remains similar to its predecessors, one of the more interesting aspects of the game is the introduction of a cool new stealth feature, in the form of the Camouflage Index system. Unlike in previous MGS games, where players had the convenience of an on-screen enemy radar, MGS3 requires players to use not only their eyes but their ears, as well as some of the gadgets in Snake's arsenal (AP sensor, directional mic) to check for signs of nearby enemy activity.
Because Snake must remain undetected, the Camouflage Index system gives him an edge by enabling him to hide in plain sight by blending in with the environment. In using the system, players are able to select from a variety of different camouflage designs, and can also acquire additional camouflage patterns throughout the game - as well as online, via the Camouflage download feature.
Thankfully it's a pretty painless process and the results are immediate, thanks to a percentage displayed at the upper right of the screen that indicates how well Snake is blending with his surroundings. The higher the percentage, the less detectable he'll be to enemy soldiers patrolling the jungle. He can hide near a tree inside grass, sneak up on enemy sentinels, and slowly and methodically take them out in a variety of ways including using the much vaunted Close Quarters Combat system.
Close Quarters Combat
CQC is a specialized fighting system created by Snake and The Boss, consisting of Special Forces combat techniques used to combat enemies in unpredictable environments like the jungle. The system can be quite effective in indoor areas, where using firearms is rarely a viable option. But before Snake can engage in any CQC activities, players need to equip him with weapons - like a handgun and knife combo - from his weapons array.
Using a combination of hand, gun, and knife techniques to fight his way through enemies that are within close range, Snake can not only perform smooth flowing strikes, chokes, and powerful throws that'll render the enemy unconscious, but also sneak up on enemy guards and threaten them in order to gain information. CQC can also be used to restrain enemies from attacking - even using enemies as shields during firefights.
While utilizing CQC together with the Camouflage Index system certainly makes for a slower, more methodical gameplay experience than before, at the same time it can feel quite rewarding to stalk enemy guards, outsmarting them every step of the way by successfully fooling them into thinking you're a tree - then sneaking up and taking them out using your CQC techniques.
Thanks to the intuitive control scheme and easy-going interface, controlling Snake is a breeze and navigating the menu selections is as painless as can be. With the exception of the selectable options in the Survival Viewer, Snake Eater's controls are otherwise pretty similar to previous installments in the series, with the analog stick and d-pad controlling directional movements, face buttons controlling his action moves, and the shoulder buttons letting players cycle through and select the various items and weapons.
Even though Snake is alone in the field, he's backed by radio support and can establish contact with his team by hitting Select. ZERO, who is pretty much the founder and commander of Snake's FOX unit, provides him with support throughout his mission. There's also Para-Medic, who handles Saving and provides medical related information. Unfortunately Para-Medic is quite the movie buff and refuses to just shut the hell up about movies she's seen. Sigint is a weapons specialist and technological whiz, who happens to have invented many of the items in Snake's arsenal. And last but definitely not least, EVA, the sexy vixen that she is, is occasionally reachable by radio with some helpful advice of her own.
A Pretty Package
Graphically, MGS3: Snake Eater looks amazing and is certainly the most impressive-looking in the series, utilizing high-quality viduals and physics to great effect. The character models are impeccably designed, with everyone from Snake to The Boss getting generous levels of detail and smooth, motion-captured animation. The backgrounds are beautifully modeled, richly textured, well-lit natural environments that really come to life with a wondrous level of detail.
All this detail comes at a slight price, with the framerate tending to dip every now and then - and there's also the occasional glitch when viewing some of the more detailed parts of the jungle in the first-person mode. Fortunately, none of these problems are rampant enough to detract from the overall experience.
While many would criticize the MGS series for its countless number of cutscenes, the cinematic cutscenes of MGS3 - while numerous - are very captivating and do a fabulous job of moving the story along, keeping things easily comprehensible throughout the game. However, there are times when some of the cutscenes seem to just drag on and on with no apparent end in sight, but fortunately they're all skippable.
Complimenting the superb graphics, Konami has gone all-out in the audio department - moreso than with its predecessors. Harry Gregson-Williams, the composer behind the music of MGS2 and MGS3 (as well as the composer for movies like Shrek, Armageddon, The Rock and Enemy of the State) has done a marvelous job, crafting an aurally stimulating soundtrack that fully immerses players into the experience. I particularly love the way Williams and his team used sound to give many of the familiar MGS themes, as well as some of the newer stuff, a sort of classic 1960s feel.
The sound effects are also top notch, with an impressively wide variety of natural sounds that really help bring the jungle to life, making you feel as if you're really out in the wild. As usual, the voice acting is excellent for all characters across the board. And to top it all off, all of MGS3's ear pleasing goodness is further enhanced with Dolby Pro Logic II support - altogether making for an exemplary audio presentation
One of the newest and coolest bonus additions to the game is the highly addicting Snake vs. Monkey mode. Whoever came up with the idea to include such a mini-game is a genius; Snake meets up with the charming monkeys from Sony's Ape Escape and indulges in a bit of monkey hunting, racing against the clock to recapture the escaped monkeys scattered throughout the jungle. Using stun grenades, punch & kick attacks, as well as his tranq gun, Snake needs to knock the little chimps out and then run over and capture them before they awaken and take off. While the idea may sound a bit silly, it's actually a well-implemented and very enjoyable part of the game, one that we certainly spent lots of time on before even starting the main game.
In addition, gamers picking up the European PAL version of Snake Eater will benefit from the inclusion of new features that Kojima-san decided to include in return for the extra wait - including Duel Mode, which allows players to play through the game's epic Boss Fights independently, along with a Demo Theatre, which gives the chance to browse through all the stunning cutscenes that have been unlocked.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater takes the series' well-established stealth action gameplay to an all-new level with the Camouflage Index and Close Quarters Combat systems, successfully continuing to engage players with high-quality tactical espionage, an intriguing cast of characters, and a fantastic storyline that ties the MGS saga together quite nicely. Fans of the series will be thoroughly blown away with Konami's latest effort, and hopefully stop complaining about Metal Gear Solid 2. Non-fans should absolutely give it a try, if only to experience Kojima's unique style of visual storytelling and wacky brand of humor sprinkled throughout the game.

Tickling St Valentine with The Seduction of Mark Antony Fragrance January 31 2014
Thanks to St Valentine, February is officially considered the month of romance. And although the 14th is still a couple of weeks away, we're drawing cupid's arrow already and The Seduction of Mark Antony Aroma Reeds, Scented Candles and Boudoir Mists are winging their way around the country in readiness. This fragrance is our No.1 seller at this time of year. With its blend of essential oils including rose maroc, sandalwood and bergamot to encourage sensuality, passion, confidence and reassurance, those in the know are wise to its power of attraction. {And there's a ticklish surprise in every box.}
Here at Jaye Niemi Australia, we enjoy the sweet tradition of gifting symbols of love for Valentine's Day as much as the next romantic. Yet I don't think I'm alone in wanting to show those we care for that we love them all year around - through the way we communicate with each other, the way we laugh together, the way we show each other respect and accept all of the parts that come together to make the sum of us.
Little thoughtful gestures from the heart can be just as touching {or more} as the grandiose and majestic ones. A handwritten note tucked into your sweetheart's laptop case or pocket. A message written on the bathroom mirror that reveals itself in the steam of the shower. {Hint from Cupid: "You forgot the milk again," is not what we're aiming for here.} Doing some of the chores you know they can't stand doing if they've been having a bad day. A scalp massage or foot rub if they collapse onto the sofa with a heavy sigh. {Light up one of our Scented Candles or Aromatic Oils and you'll both feel better.}
So, here's to romance all year around. That's why we make The Seduction of Mark Antony all year around. To love.

How'd you install wb3.9? Did you extract the iso?Workbench3.9.hdf starts now. Great work!
No. I use an hdf-file with Workbech3.9 made with WinUAE.How'd you install wb3.9? Did you extract the iso?Workbench3.9.hdf starts now. Great work!
I don't know, but if you look at the host part of socket emulation in WinUAE, there's a lot of code required. It's on my todo-list, but only with low priority.How hard to implement bsdsocket emulation for internet support ?
My PNDManager is showing this up without a title (or at least I assume it's this from the description), in case that's any use to you.I have no idea why PNDManager can't see the new version. I added this to the Repo the same way as always...
Welcome to one of the classic bugs that have been in this software for many versions. You will find the same issue using a USB mouse. I always wondered was it something to do with emulated screen size versus actual Pandora screen size? No one has figured out the solution to this one yet...Found a Bug.The first time I start UAE4ARM the mousepointer wont move around the whole screen. It stops after maybe 100 pixel. I use the nubs for mouse.
I need to push the pointer to the left and up corner and push it above this point for a few seconds. After this "workaround" I could use the pointer through the whole screen.
We need cycle exact blitter and cpu emulation for this game. If you select immediate blitter, the flickering is gone, but the animations are too fast.I loaded It came from the desert using whdload, but it has terrible flickering.

At SEGL, it's not uncommon to hear a spirited late-night conversation referenced in Ethics and Leadership class the following morning, or to continue an English class discussion over dinner. It's not unusual for students to design our weekend activities, or for teachers to bake cookies the night before a tough academic assignment is due. When you come to SEGL, you're not only joining our school; you're joining an incredible family.
Living on Capitol Hill is so incredible … exercising on the Mall, sitting on the steps of the Supreme Court with milkshakes from Good Stuff Eatery, studying in the Library of Congress, and being only minutes away from meetings in the House and Senate buildings makes this experience truly unique. ~ Spring 2010 SEGL student
The Social Contract
An important feature of the school community is the idea that students and faculty enter into a "social contract" of shared trust and responsibility at the beginning of each semester. This means that significant trust and responsibility is placed on you from the outset of their time at the school, and that an atmosphere of collegiality and cooperation, rather than authoritarianism and rules, prevails. It means students and faculty collaborate on chores, dish crew, and other work projects. It also means that by agreeing to join our community, you also agree to abide by a code of ethics: "whereabouts" violations, the use of alcohol and other drugs, dishonesty (academic or otherwise), and violence against people or property will constitute grounds for dismissal. In the event a student violates the code of ethics, other students and faculty on the disciplinary committee will decide the proper sanction.
Living in a dorm
SEGL has partnered with the Washington Student Intern Housing (WISH) program to provide outstanding housing for students and faculty. Students live in a well-furnished, homey townhouse located in the heart of Washington, DC just steps from the Capitol and Supreme Court. Fully-furnished bedrooms are single-sex and range in size from double to quadruple. The townhouse also has a kitchen, washer/dryers, internet access, bathrooms on every floor, and several common spaces for socializing.
A Residential Advisor (RA) lives in the residential facility with the students, with two additional faculty members living in the separate basement apartment beneath. More faculty members live within two blocks to provide further supervision and support. Capitol police are permanently stationed less than a block from SEGL's residential facility, making the area extraordinarily safe. All WISH and SEGL buildings meet DC fire and safety code regulations.
Students eat well at SEGL! Each student enjoys three healthy meals every day (brunch and dinner on Sunday) with snacks available throughout the day. Some of our food comes from local farmers who supply our school, and we will also be sure to sample food from the areas of the world we study. Because SEGL provides meals, students do not have to buy their own food. SEGL also makes significant effort to fully accommodate medical, religious, and/or ethical dietary restrictions. And from time to time (especially on Sunday mornings), you may even have the opportunity to add your own culinary expertise to our menu!
SEGL uses the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), more commonly called "Metro," as a primary mode of transportation. During the school week students commute with faculty and staff to and from Union Station and Dupont Circle. Door-to-door commute time is usually 25-30 minutes. Students leave the dorm at 8:15am to arrive in time for the 9am start to the school day. Class days usually end at 5pm, and students arrive home around 5:30pm in time to socialize before the 7:30pm dinner.
Study Hall and Check-in
Academic studies at SEGL are rigorous, and adequate time and space are allotted to help ensure students can properly manage their course load. Study hall begins at 8:30pm each weeknight. At this time, quiet hours begin and rooms become silent study space. Need to start studying for your big U.S. History exam before then and can't seem to focus in your room? No problem. Why not review your notes in the historic Library of Congress, a mere 5-minute walk from the dorm? Or try the quiet WISH study rooms in the building next door, available throughout the day up until check-in. Check-in on weeknights is at 10:30pm, at which point students return to their respective floors and start getting ready for bed.

My favorite aunt was unmarried, half deaf
and lived alone in a smoke-filled room
at the Curtis Hotel in Minneapolis.
Once beautiful, she still had her vanity.
Her hip, mangled in surgery,
gave her a spasmodic gait, she flapped
down Oakland Avenue to visit us
like a tall crane who'd had a few.
I loved the sight of her, ran to
the frazzled, overpermed head, the
too-bright ruby lips, the strong perfume.
For all the appearances of inutile femininity,
she was to me, a half divinity.
The auntness of aunts, their
bemused, hat-askance objectivity.
They belong to no one and to everyone
and can offer a child another reality.
How many times she took me home
to her apartment hoping to give
my busy mother a small reprieve
handed me a pencil and drawing pad
then made me feel like Michaelangelo.
Now thinking back, I wish I had
given back just half of what she gave to me.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Earlier this year, Dorrough was arrested after DEA officials raided his home claiming that he was involved in drug trafficking. Now, the Dallas rapper has decided to release a documentary, and a song, detailing the incident in hopes to show that he was falsely accused and subsequently violated.
"What if my daughter was there?" he tells allhiphop.com. "All these thoughts going on in my head...I think they was out of line the way they did it. My girl is crying, scared and it's more like they violated me."
Dorrough says that law enforcement kicked in his door, pointed a gun at his face, threw him to the ground and searched his home. He believes if he had reached for his gun that he would have been shot and killed. In addition, the rapper says he has documents that claim police were planning the raid for over a year.

About the publication
Kate isn't like 22 year olds. She's got a job to do for her Uncle Phil. Each day, she spies on The Kevin Keegan Day Nursery across the road from her bedroom window, writing down all of the comings and goings in her notebooks. That's how she spots her little girl in the pink coat. She likes her, and it isn't long before Kate asks her mum to steal the girl for her. Plans are made.
But then, quite unexpectedly, Kate flashes her breasts out her bedroom window at the little girl's father. And that's the reason why nothing will ever be the same again…
There is no one ending to Kate's story, instead there are nine possible outcomes which you can navigate through your ereading device. Each is different, and each exposes a little more of Kate's utterly wonky world. An additional ending will be given online and the eleventh ending will be auctioned for charity.
A new digital novel will overturn centuries of literary tradition by allowing readers to choose how they would like a story to end.The Telegraph

Happy first day of the NBA season everyone!
In recent years, by this time of the year I've been counting down the days until the Bulls started the season, because the Bears would already be a disappointment by this time of their season.
Thankfully that's not the case this year (knock on wood), but nonetheless I'm still hyped up for the start of the '18-19 season.
Before games tip off tonight though, I thought I'd go ahead and make my predictions on this year's playoff seedings. Last year, my predictions weren't terrible, but there were definitely some teams that were both better or worse than I expected.
This time around, I'll focus more on the teams that I think won't make the top 16 and why, and save that discussion on the playoff teams for a later time.
In the meantime, my fellow "Bench Rider" Derek wrote on his thoughts of how the season will play out.
Lets start with the new look Eastern Conference:
1.) Boston Celtics
2.) Toronto Raptors
3.) Philedelphia 76ers
4.) Indiana Pacers
5.) Milwaukee bucks
6.) Washington Wizards
7.) Miami Heat
8.) Detroit Pistons
Notice the defending eastern champion Cavs didn't make my prediction. But let's be real once they lost LBJ they were doomed, regardless of what Tristan Thompson has to say about it.
"The Unicorn" aka Kristaps Porzingis will likely miss most of, if not the entire season recovering from a knee injury, so sorry Knicks fans. Maybe the Giants or Jets can win win. Or, maybe the Rangers or Islanders will be good this year?
The Bulls look like they could win some games they probably shouldn't against the top teams of the conference, but they're just too young and inexperienced to make any real impact this season. Taking a chance on hometown product Jabari Parker could end up being a crucial decision if he stays healthy.
The Hornets have some great veteran players that you always root for like Kemba Walker, free agent signee Tony Parker, & rookie Miles Bridges. But they just don't have enough to get over the hump into the playoffs.
When it comes to everyone else, well, they are who we think they are.
Now for the wild, wild Western Conference:
1.) Golden State Warriors
2. ) Houston Rockets
3.) San Antonio Spurs
4.) Los Angeles Lakers
5. ) Utah Jazz
6.) Oklahoma City thunder
7.) New Orleans Pelicans
8.) Denver Nuggets
As always, the 6-8th seeds will most likely be constantly changing and swapping up until the last day of the season. The west is so competitive that any of the top 11 of 15 teams could fall anywhere.
A few teams from last year missing out of the standings, most notably the Portland Trailblazers. They've been the same team for so long relying on Dame and CJ, but with the way the west has shaped now, that will not be enough. Look for them to be a surprise player in a possible Jimmy Butler trade.
Speaking of Butler, the Minnesota Timberwolves are also off the list. Regardless of a trade and get lesser value in return or keep him and continue this circus of attention and distraction, both outcomes lead to them going home early in April. They barely snuck into the 8th seed last year anyway.
Unlike the lacking Eastern Conference teams at the bottom of the list, the Suns, Mavericks, & Kings all have great potential with their mix young talent and vets. Expect for each team to catch some of the higher squads sleeping and steal some games.

Our Interpreters are qualified in various fields of construction • Civil • Electrical • Machinery • Equipment • Communications • Electronics • Accounting • Legal • Medical • Pharmacy • IT • Computers • Environment • Technology etc.
Consecutive interpreting
The interpreter generally sits or stands beside the speaker, listening and taking notes when necessary. Speaker talks and pauses to allow the interpreter to translate in the target language for a portion or the entire speaker's message. This system is ideal for simple translation in trade consulting, lectures, press conferences, presentation for new product, formal talks, short business meeting and tourism etc.
Simultaneous interpreting
The interpreter translates the message into the target language as quickly as he/she can formulate sentences. While the source language speaker continuously speaks, the interpreter, who is often sitting in a sound-proof booth, is receiving the speech through his/her headset and speaking into a microphone to transmit the target language to the recipient's headset. Two interpreters are often required. This system is ideal for international conferences, seminars, symposia and workshops.
Field of Interpretation
- General Private sector
- Overseas Study related fields
- Immigration related fields
- Telecommunications related sectors
- Construction · Machinery related fields
- Legal · Accounting sector
- Medical

Some good rookies to find at a decent price, despite a rough overall draft class, you can't go wrong with a product like Sage Hit. So I gave a box a try.
Sorry for lack of box picture on this one. But here is the breakdown none-the-less, in every box of 2013 Sage Hit Low Series football is 30 packs and 6 cards per pack. So you get a lot of cards for your bang. Each box also has 6 autographs, gold and silver parallels and other inserts to find as well.
The base card design is nice and the pictures are well done since they don't have a NCAA license anymore. Instead of photoshopping out the logos, I like the way Sage did these pictures.
The top two cards are silver parallels, you get one per pack. Bottom are gold. You get roughly a couple per box.
The Write Stuff insert you find one per box. The other two inserts including Steelers star RB Bell are found a few per box.
And here are a couple more including a harder to find gold parallel version on the right.
Now the autographs. This is the red autographed version. That just means the card is red. I didn't hit the big players, but got some decent ones like Manti Teo
and in the golds, Eric Reid. I like the gold autograph version more with the hand numbering. Very cool and something that Sage has done for years.

Dandruffs could be rather embarrassing and uncomfortable to deal with, especially when flakes large and small land everywhere around your clothing and even on your food. It isn't really harmful or contagious, but it could occur to anyone across any age segment and in both genders.
Given the various causes behind dandruff, perhaps the best thing one could do before getting treated is to find out what the cause is.
Most skincare experts generally believe and agree that dandruff is essentially a condition due to an overgrowth of skin cells caused by the working of fungus or excess sebum on your scalp. Very often, a fungus called malassezia, which is found in every human being's skin, triggers dandruff. As normal as this fungus is for us humans, some of us have too much of it, and this causes skin cells to multiply more quickly than usual, which leads to excessive skin flaking off from your scalp.
Other factors that could cause dandruff would include age factor, hormonal imbalance and stress as well. If you don't wash your hair often enough, the oil build-up on the scalp could also make it possible for dandruff to come about. For some people, this starts at very young age and combined with the lack of proper hair care or hygiene, it becomes worse through the years.
It is not all helpless, however. Dandruff is a condition that, if not curable for some, could be controlled to a large extent with the right treatment and medication. In fact, there are a lot of over-the-counter products and treatments that offer quick and temporary solutions to dandruff woes, but most of us are always looking for something permanent.
Now that you know what causes your dandruff, let us help you solve it once and for all.
Svenson has introduced an all NEW Rescue Dandruff Control Therapy, that is specially formulated for irritated scalp with dandruff issues.
This new and revolutionary treatment is here to rescue you from all the inconvenience dandruff causes in your daily life, by giving you these benefits:
- GENTLY DEEP CLEANSE scalp barrier effectively to get rid of existing dandruff or flakes
- ELIMINATES bacteria or fungal presence to prevent follicle micro-inflammation
- REGULATE sebaceous glands on scalp to prevent excess sebum
- NOURISHES AND MOISTURISES follicles and scalp to soothe and prevent itchiness or dryness.
Come over for a few sessions with us and see the difference yourself.
After the therapy, you could also opt for our all NEW Rescue Range Shampoo.
So what makes this Rescue Range Shampoo and Tonic different from other over-the-counter anti dandruff shampoos or tonics?
Now let's break the details down for you. Basically this entire range is specially formulated for irritated scalp with dandruff, aptly named to free yourself of your scalp woes. First off, there's the Rescue Dandruff Control Shampoo. This gentle and effective cleansing shampoo relieves your scalp of itchiness, dryness or irritation caused by dandruff. Then, there's the Rescue Sulphur Intensive Shampoo. As exotic as this may sound, this intensive treatment shampoo is a simple formulation that works for stubborn dandruff or scalp irritation issues such as bacterial infection or inflammation. Sulphur, if you didn't know already, is one of the many good antibacterial agents that inhibits growth and spread of these evil parasites on your skin. Finally, there's the Rescue Dandruff Control Tonic. This Tonic helps to normalize scalp conditions and prevent new dandruff formation or even future irritations. It is intended to treat, prevent and nourish your scalp, all at one go.
So don't wait, get hold of us now, and drop by for a few regular sessions of the Rescue Dandruff Control Therapy and also try our new Rescue Range Shampoos. In no time, your scalp could be normalized and restored to optimal condition for healthier, fuller hair growth.
We know how an itchy or irritated scalp can get in the way of your daily life and routine and even worse, hamper your whole look and confidence. Now, with the above all-new treatment and product range from Svenson, hope it not all lost.

Obama Blames Media For His Administration's Firing Of Shirley Sherrod.
With all due respect, Mr. President, you are the one in charge of your staff. And, according to Ms. Sherrod, it was your White House who ordered her to be terminated from her job. This looks like you're afraid of media criticism. And that is not what a real leader should be doing. Toughen up and stand by what you believe in. Or cave to media-created crises, and you will find yourself looking for another job after 2012!

When you do the right thing and convert your home into an environmentally friendly environment, you help cut the cost of your energy bills. You don't need an electric car for this. Read here to find some ways to lower your electric bills as well as make the environment cleaner.
Use natural fabrics in the summer instead of turning up the AC. Cotton and other fabrics draw sweat from the skin and make you cool. Lighter colored fabrics will help you stay cooler without needing to turn on the air conditioner.
Instead of using the dryer in the summertime, hang clothes outside in the warm sunshine. This can cause your clothes to smell really good. They will feel and smell fresher than machine-dried clothes. This will save you a ton on your utility bills, leaving you extra money to turn your air conditioning on instead.
Use energy saving products throughout your home to increase efficiency. Certain green items, such as eco-friendly windows and doors and double glazed windows, cut down on energy you need to keep your home going efficiently. Your heat and cooling costs can drop dramatically by using these products.
Instead of using a desktop computer, which sucks up more electricity, buy a laptop. This could possibly reduce your electrical use by 75 percent, especially if the Internet is used frequently or there is heavy use of word processing software. Not only that, the laptop offers you the benefit of taking it anywhere.
Create written reminders of your goals regarding energy efficiency, and compare your utility bills to those of the previous year to determine whether you are making positive steps. Keeping energy usage at the forefront of your mind can motivate you to use less energy in the long run. For instance, should you consciously decide to decrease your electricity or water use, you are also likelier to turn off appliances or unused lights.
When Christmas or other holidays roll around, try LED decorative lights instead of traditional lights to spruce up your home. According to a study by the U.S. One study conducted by the Department of Energy found that if everyone in the U.S. switched to these lights, more than two billion kilowatt hours worth of power would be saved. That is enough power to run more than 200,000 homes for one whole year. You can at least look forward to saving money on your energy bills!
Replace old, energy-hogging appliances with new versions that are Energy Star rated. An Energy Star appliance is built to use less energy than non-Energy Star appliances. The amount of energy saved depends on the type of appliance. Refrigerators and freezers use 20% less energy, while dishwashers use 40% less. Washing machines use half as much energy as their non-rated counterparts.
Changing your furnace filter, using light bulbs which are energy efficient and using an energy efficient thermostat are all easy steps you can take to reduce energy use. Set the example for those around you, and you will see that they quickly follow suit once they see how simple it is to be green. Use the advice you've learned here and start saving money and the planet today!

In the summer months the flowers attract butterflies such as dingy�and�grizzled skippers. There are fine views of the surrounding Chiltern Hills from the high points which reach nearly 172 metres at Deacon Hill.

And finally I've got round to writing about the last part of our trip to Arizona back in May 2013… We drove from the Grand Canyon knowing we only had a couple of days of holiday left. We were already talking about what adventures and things we'd like to see on our next holiday. The … Continue reading

Beautiful Vancouver (or how I jogged 9 miles today!)
We arrived in Vancouver on Sunday afternoon. It's a beautiful city that my Lovely Husband and me visited 10 years ago (almost exactly) for 3 days and loved it. We felt so at home in that short time that we semi-seriously considered buying a brand new apartment overlooking the sea and moving here. A the … Continue reading
Short break in transmission – but we're now back in the US
You may have noticed a break in transmission in the last 7 weeks or so. I didn't even finish telling you about our adventures in Arizona (I will do that…). The girls and I have had a little break from our Long American Holiday whilst we went back to the UK to escape the humidity … Continue reading
We've been in Houston 1 whole year
This time last year we left our house in Reading early in the morning, when it was still dark, having said goodbye to our friends and family during the previous week. I cried all the way to the airport, at the airport and on the plane! The plane left for Houston at 10.25am on 24th … Continue reading
Don't book a flight when I'm flying…
So, here I am with yet another cancelled flight because of snow. The only difference this time is that there isn't actually any snow here yet in Heathrow. It looks like it might snow quite a lot later but British Airways have cancelled lots and lots of flights this morning just in case. I've been … Continue reading
2012 – a good year
If you'd asked me what I'd wished for at the beginning of 2012 my answer, if I was being brutally honest (which I only was with a handful of people), would have been that I hoped that the planned move to America in January wouldn't happen. I was as positive about it as I could … Continue reading
Arriving in Gunnison
The flight from Houston to Gunnison was surprisingly good, considering that heavy rain and strong winds had kept us awake half the night. The girls were very excited when we started to fly over mountains and saw snow. When we landed in Gunnison they could see snow everywhere, much more than when we were last … Continue reading
Planes, illness and an angel in a business suit
I flew back to Houston with the girls on Monday. We'd had a lovely, if somewhat busy, visit to England for 6 days (that's mot long enough, by the way, next time we'll stay for longer…) The girls were very tired and we were all tearful at the thought of leaving England again so soon, … Continue reading
Brazos Bend State Park
Last weekend (it's been a busy birthday week here, since the delay!) we headed out to Brazos Bend State Park, about 40 minutes South of us here in Houston. The park is 5000 acres of lakes, oak woods and lots of wildlife. We headed for the nature discovery centre first and where there are exhibits … Continue reading
Vancouver to Houston – a 33 hour journey
33 hours was much longer than we expected. The flight is only 4 hours after all… But then we hadn't counted on some massive storms hitting Dallas half an hour before we were due to land there. No planes were allowed to land in Dallas (they had a nasty crash there in 1985 when a … Continue reading

PowerMTA provides unsurpassed reliability in message delivery in a stable SMTP environment with granular connection controls. Superior message throughput, simple set up and real-time analysis provide PowerMTA users with performance, deliverability, and manageability with a much smaller hardware footprint than is possible with either open source options or other commercial solutions. It just works!
SparkPost Signals for PowerMTA is an email analytics suite that gives you early warning so that you can fix and prevent email issues before they affect your business. Signals' unmatched data footprint analyzes data from your own email sending to give you actionable insights. Our predictive analytics automatically monitor ISP responses, engagement recency of your recipients, bounces and spam traps, in real-time. Get the power of advanced data science—without the need for additional, expensive resources, hardware, or heavy data computation challenges.
PowerMTA's global footprint covers every region of the world from across North America and Europe to Asia and the Middle East and includes many types of businesses for whom email really matters. Additionally, most of the world's leading Email Service Providers such as MailChimp, Sailthru, Campaigner and countless others trust PowerMTA to send enormous volumes of mission critical email.
Our infrastructure handles core tasks with greater efficiency, intelligence and control than general-purpose open-source MTAs as well as commercial alternatives. PowerMTA can also efficiently handle inbound feedback loops and out of band bounce messages. It also easily integrates with a huge variety of CRM solutions such as Salesforce, Interspire, and Freshworks.
PowerMTA supports IP based rate limiting which is designed to give delivery engineers/admins additional control and allows for throttling the number of attempted recipients on a per-hour, per-minute, and per-second basis separately for each IP address and for each domain/VirtualMTA.
Configuring grouping of domains based on the MX information in DNS is simple and easy in PowerMTA. By automating the MX grouping tasks, PowerMTA has eliminated the need for manual maintenance in keeping track of changes to MX information in DNS.
PowerMTA fully supports the latest standards in delivering email to recipients with internationalized addresses without the need for any additional configuration.
PowerMTA supports the latest versions of email authentication standards DKIM, SPF, DANE. PowerMTA supports the use of TLS 1.2 for delivering email over encrypted channels. PowerMTA will soon support ARC, MTA-STS and TLS 1.3.
We also offer the PowerMTA Management Console, a sleek, web based software solution that allows for the centralized configuration, monitoring and reporting of one or more than one PowerMTA installation. The PowerMTA console allows for enhanced reporting, including IP-based reporting, saved reports, configurable session timeouts and advanced reporting filters (including sets and regular expressions).

PowerMTA is the leading email gateway application (SMTP server) because it allows you to easily adopt the latest authentication specifications for sending high volume emails and to comply with ever-changing authentication policies. Whether you are looking for responsible, high-volume outbound email delivery, or as a core component for your technology stack, PowerMTA just delivers.
PowerMTA provides real-time monitoring of your sender reputation through SMTP responses received from ISPs. This monitoring produces immediate notification of delivery issues and the ability to stop and adjust delivery settings based on SMTP response patterns.
Our extensive tracking and reporting features provide detailed analysis for each VirtualMTA, including customizable bounce categorization and reporting. We are continuously improving our monitoring and reporting tools including: web, XML and JSON-based reporting and delivery monitoring, pre-configured performance reports, advanced bounce analysis and real-time campaign tracking, and a command-line query and reporting tool.
Some MTAs max out at frustratingly low send-rates. When you've reached a point where your existing MTA can no longer handle your throughput, instead of adding more servers, PowerMTA helps you deliver greater performance on fewer servers.
The better your sending practices the better your "Inbox" results. PowerMTA provides the deliverability features required for bulk email senders to follow best email sending practices.
PowerMTA is competitively priced and provides annual licenses inclusive of upgrades and expert support included, so you know your business is in capable hands. PowerMTA allows you to increase your revenue by rapidly scaling your sending, while controlling your hardware and staffing costs. Staying in your own fire-walled environment means you can feel comfortable knowing that your data remains in your internally managed systems.
