<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I released a relief pitcher for Contact Form 7 1.8 because of a bug I found that it causes style flaw. It's not critical but if you are seeing strange behavior with the plugin, I recommend you to upgrade.</p>
<p>Plus, Chinese and Fnnish translations have been newly added. Thank you <a href="http://www.webtoolol.com/">Soz</a> and <a href="http://www.webwork.fi/">Miika</a>!</p>
<p>先日公開したばかりの Contact Form 7 1.8 にスタイル関連のバグが見つかりましたので急遽中継ぎで 1.8.0.1 をリリースしました。重大な問題というわけではないですがもし気になるような変な挙動が見られたならアップグレードをおすすめします。</p>
<p>それと中国語とフィンランド語の翻訳が新たに追加されています。<a href="http://www.webtoolol.com/">Soz</a> さんと <a href="http://www.webwork.fi/">Miika</a> さん、どうもありがとう!</p>

<p>I spotted this hilarious duo Concetta Brandenburg &#38; Barbara Teebrook in the Pink sim skimming the booths on their pink prim, and looking quite fabulous I must add in their freebie style that can be found at the BooN booth.  Please note Barbara's tattoo on her belly.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><img class="alignright" src="http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/newsletter/2007_06/NL0607_02.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="332" />As expected, Mythic paid close attention to what players reported during the preview weekend. In short order, <a href="http://vnboards.ign.com/warhammer_online_age_of_reckoning_general_board/b22997/108399640/p1/?8">they've already implemented</a> a lot of fixes to some of the biggest issues. Mark Jacobs stopped by the IGN boards to let us know what they've been up to since the beta servers went down. In his words, here's what they've been working on:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><a name="_ctl0_cphMain_rptMessages__ctl0_MessageView_bcMessageBody"></a> <em>1) Significantly improved NPC pathing - Okay, in all fairness it wouldn't have taken much to improve on what we showed you folks during the PW. However, the NPC pathing is back to where it needs to be and while it still isn't perfect, well, it's a heck of a lot closer than it was just a short time ago. We identified a whole lot of bugs and squashed them.</em></p>
<p><em>2) Improved pet commands and responsivness - Well, pretty much same as above. Pets will no longer act as if obeying an order from you was the last thing in this world that they wanted to do.</em></p>
<p><em>3) Fixed an issue with textures blurring - Nothing like looking at textures through a blurred lens to make things look really sharp eh? Major improvements in and more OTW.</em></p>
<p><em>4) Enhanced Global Cooldown Mechanic - Well, for one the GCD actually shows the correct cooldown time and not the rounded up cooldown time (Hey, what a great idea, let's make it seem slower than it is. WOOT!). The slop timer is working fine right now and we'll continue to look at making the GCD and combat in general more responsive.</em></p>
<p><em>5) Continuing to improve Client Stability - As always, lots of fixes going in here. The client is supposed to be more stable (and looks like it so far) but until we get the masses back in...</em></p>
<p><em>6) Added new Graphics Settings and seeking more feedback from testers to guide future improvements. You asked for it, you got it. Well, in all fairness we were going to put these in anyway but it never hurts to nudge us a bit at times.</em></p>
<p><em>7) Target Nearest Target improved - Yeah! One of my pet peeves addressed.</em></p>
<p><em>8) Renown Gear changes and Potency of Potions increased. Tweaking, adding, subtracting, in other words (don't say "nerf", we're still in beta!) balancing.</em></p>
<p><em>9) Increased bonus for medal winners in PQs. PQs are supposed to be fun, joyous and not grindy. We'll continue tweaking and changing them wherever we need to do that to make it so #1. (okay, a ST reference)</em></p>
<p><em>10) Added more loot bags in Tier 1 PQs - Boy, it's going to be rather crowded when we launch so we just upped the loot for the Tier 1 PQs. We'll do the same to T2 as needed. And when the rush is over, we'll tweak downwards. </em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;font-style:normal;">In my opinion, probably the biggest fixes that went in addressed NPC and pet pathing and pet responsiveness. Client stability and GCD tweaks? Mythic, you have Raegn's official stamp of approval! Now if only it meant something to people other than me.... :)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;font-style:normal;">The other points are pretty great too. I wasn't in Closed Beta to notice a difference in texture quality, so I really can't comment there, but I'm glad that they're opening up the graphics options. Preview Weekend was really limited in that regard. I'm also optimistic about how they're increasing the amount of loot bags in the first couple tiers of content. It shows how much they're ramping up for launch and thinking of a lot of the small things that will be impacted by the large influx of players.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;font-style:normal;">WAR is coming, my friends. I can't wait to see what else to polish up before launch because, at this rate, things are looking very promising.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;font-style:normal;">WAAAGH!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[gallery]So there's been no Mudlarkin' in the last 28 days. For this we would like to apologize. Its really been a crazy couple of weeks. We went and checked out that scary <a href="http://midcenturymudlarks.com/2008/08/01/blue-couch-set-200/">blue couch</a> and we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into. While looking at the couch the seller offered us some lemonade, and come on it's summer who wouldn't turn down such a refreshing drink. Well it turns out that summer refreshment was spiked with with LSD, I guess the seller thought it would make us appreciate the couch more. Turns out the LSD sent us Mudlarks on an underwater adventure directly from that fucking <a href="http://midcenturymudlarks.com/2008/08/01/blue-couch-set-200/">blue couch</a>. The craziest part about it is when we snapped out of it a few weeks later we were still on the couch in the sellers house. Before realizing what had happened the seller crawled out of the living room closet and asked, "So you Mudlark's like the couch, I can help you load it up?"...</p>

<h3 class="post-title" style="color:#823857;text-align:center;">Tips Motivasi Diri</h3>
<div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;">Seringkali rutinitas, dan berbagai masalah yang datang silih berganti setiap hari membuat<br />
kita kehilangan motivasi untuk mendapatkan yang lebih baik dalam kehidupan. Hingga<br />
semua tujuan kita mengabur dan lama-lama menghilang. Berikut kami sampaikan tujuh<br />
cara untuk mendapatkan motivasi setiap hari:<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Ciptakan Hasrat </span><br />
Lihat imbalan dari usaha <span class="yshortcuts">Anda</span> secara jelas. Cara ini memberikan banyak motivasi untuk<br />
membuat rencana Anda cepat terwujud. Bayangkan rumah impian Anda setiap hari, dan<br />
ini akan memberikan Anda dorongan untuk menjadikannya nyata.<span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Ciptakan Rasa Sakit </span><br />
Dalam program Neuro-Linguistic mereka mengajarkan pada Anda untuk menghubungkan<br />
rasa sakit dengan tidak melakukan tindakan. Gambaran kekasih Anda keluar dengan<br />
orang lain, saat Anda menyaksikan itu dengan diam-diam, hal itu mungkin membuat<br />
Anda termotivasi membicarakan hal-hal yang Anda hindari dengan pasangan Anda.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Bicarakan Rencana Anda </span><br />
Bicaralah pada pasangan Anda tentang rencana Anda, atau tuliskan dalam selembar<br />
kertas apa yang akan Anda lakukan lalu tempelkan di kulkas.<span style="font-weight:bold;">4. Miliki Sebuah Ketertarikan yang Nyata </span><br />
<span class="yshortcuts">Jika</span> tak ada ketertarikan sama sekali Anda mungkin perlu melakukan sesuatu, untuk itu<br />
buat sebuah tujuan besar dalam pikiran Anda.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">5. Miliki Energi</span><br />
Kafein akan memberikan rasa sehat untuk sesaat, tapi dalam satu atau lain cara, Anda<br />
membutuhkan energi lebih sebagai motivasi untuk setiap hari, misalnya dengan <span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor:hand;border-bottom:#0066cc 1px dashed;">olah raga</span><br />
atau tidur cukup.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">6. Ciptakan Keseimbangan Mental</span><br />
Sangat sulit untuk menemukan motivasi jika Anda dalam keadaan tertekan. Hilangkanbeberapa perasaan negatif Anda, atau pada akhirnya pilih kerjakan pekerjaan penting saat<br />
Anda dalam mood yang bagus.</p>
<div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">7. Ambil Sebuah Langkah Kecil </span><br />
Lakukan pengumpulan untuk satu tas besar daun-daun di halaman. Dan denagn segera<br />
Anda akan membersihkan halaman. Setiap sebuah langkah kecil yang Anda ambil untuk</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;"> <span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;"><span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;"> </p>
<p></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;color:#8000ff;"> </p>
<p></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color:#8000ff;">mencapi tujuan akan memberikan motivasi pada Anda setiap hari. </span><br />

<p style="color:#0000ff;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:large;">Pria memang susah......</span></strong><br />
<br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Pria memang susah untuk di buat bahagia</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Masalah-masalah yang timbul pada pria</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu memberlakukannya dengan baik,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Dia pikir kamu jatuh cinta kepadanya.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika tidak, kamu akan dibilang sombong.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu berpakaian bagus, </span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Dia pikir kamu sedang mencoba untuk menggodanya.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika tidak dia bilang kamu kampungan.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu berdebat dengannya,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Dia bilang kamu keras kepala.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu tetap diam,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Dia bilang kamu nggak punya otak.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu lebih pintar daripada dia,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Dia akan kehilangan muka.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika dia yang lebih pintar,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Dia hebat</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu tidak cinta padanya,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">dia akan mencoba mendapatkanmu.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu mencintainya,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">dia akan mencoba untuk meninggalkanmu.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu beritahu dia masalahmu,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">dia bilang kamu menyusahkan.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika tidak, </span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">dia bilang kamu tidak mempercayai mereka.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu cerewet pada dia,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">kamu seperti seorang pengasuh baginya.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Tapi jika dia yang cerewet pada kamu,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">itu karena dia perhatian.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu langgar janji kamu,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">kamu tidak bisa dipercaya.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika dia yang ingkar janjinya,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">dia melakukannya karena terpaksa.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu merokok,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">kamu adalah cewek liar.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Kalau dia merokok,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">dia adalah seorang gentleman.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu menyakitinya,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">Kamu sangat kejam.</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">tapi kalau dia yang menyakitimu,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">itu karena kamu terlalu sensitif dan</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">terlalu sulit untuk dibuat bahagia!!!!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c080ff;">Jika kamu mengirimkan ini pada cowok-cowok,</span><br /><span style="color:#c080ff;">mereka pasti bersumpah kalau itu tidak benar.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="color:#00bfbf;font-style:italic;"><span style="font-size:small;">Wah wah kayaknya menyudutkan banget yaa buat pria, pertama kali saya baca tulisan ini sempet ketawa juga, tapi kayaknya emang yang merasa pria harus merenungkan nih, bener enggak sih, kayaknya ada satu bait yang salah yaa, yaitu bait terakhir, he he</span></p>

I am having a party booking blitz]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.cleangreenwinnipeg.com/gift.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="149" />Book a September Show and Get a FREE Norwex Window Cloth as a Gift</h3>
<p>I am having a party booking blitz for September!  Book a September show with me and I will give you a Norwex window cloth as a free gift.  But the hostess gifts won't stop there.  We have awesome Norwex hostess gifts for the month of September. <strong><a title="My hostesses NEVER pay full price!" href="http://cleangreenwinnipeg.com/CDNHostessSpecialsSeptember.pdf" target="_blank"> See them all here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>You will get a <strong>personalized Hostess Coaching Package</strong> by email to help you have a great show, have fun, and earn free Norwex product as my extra special hostess.  I will send out postcard invitations for you, take phone orders for guests who cannot attend, and more. </p>
<p><strong>Read what one of my August hostesses had to say about her party:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I heard about Norwex thru' my sister.  She'd gone to a party and purchased the enviro cloths.  She raved about them to me.  Then a few months later, I found out that Marlo had become a distributor.  I was starting to switch to "green" friendly items already, so thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to try these fabulous products I'd heard about.  I booked a party and started getting some of the freebies right away, my antibac window cloth.  I tried it out and it's amazing!  As the evening of the party progressed, and more ladies showed interest and started booking their own Norwex parties, I kept receiving more window cloths as gifts, and the ultimate freebie was the antibac mop!  We had so much fun and on top of it all, I got $200+ in free products!  That's amazing!  Sooo worth booking and hosting a party.</p>
<p>Chris S. in St. James, Wpg, MB</p></blockquote>
<p>So if you are in Winnipeg or surrounding area in Manitoba, give me a call! I would love to bless you with a bunch of Norwex hostess gifts.  Call me today, my calendar is filling up :)</p>

<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>PROGRAM EFA HOSTS SYNTOPIA 29 AUGUST 2008</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">09.00 AM SLT : Start real life show at Pastoe Design Center, Utrecht (can be watched in Second Life)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">10.30 AM SLT: Start Second Life show, <a title="Virtual Holland" href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Virtual%20Holland/126/126/23" target="_blank">Virtual Holland</a> (can be watched in Real Life)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">11.00 AM SLT: Official graduation of Josine Vermeij in Utrecht</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This Friday Josine and I will present our collection, both in real life and in Second Life. After the show there will be an exhibition until September 23rd. In real life the show takes place at 9.00 SLT/ 18.00 CET at Pastoe Design Centre, in Utrecht. In Second Life the models of <strong><a title="EFA blog" href="http://ewingfashionagency.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#8a3207;">Ewing Fashion Agency</span></a></strong> will showcase the virtual designs at 10.30 SLT/ 19.30 CET in <a title="Virtual Holland" href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Virtual%20Holland/126/126/23" target="_blank"><span style="color:#8a3207;">Virtual Holland</span></a>.</p>
<p>We hope to see you at one of the events, either in real life or in Second Life. By being at either one of the locations does not mean you have to miss out on the other (that wouldn’t suit my concept): on the day of the show there will be a live connection between the two worlds, so in Second Life you can watch the real life show and in real life you can also watch the Second Life show.</p>
<p>If you have any questions please contact <a title="Syntopia" href="http://ewingfashionagency.wordpress.com/wp-admin/www.syntopia.nl" target="_blank"><span style="color:#909d73;">Aideen Sideways</span></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Regards, Aideen &#38; Josine</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>MAZAL TOV!!!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>My husband Shaya and I are very excited to announce the engagement of our granddaughter, Rochel Leah Tal-Ohr (parents are (our daughter) Penina and Pinchas Tal-Ohr) to Meir Shlomo Anolick</strong> <strong>son of Rachel Ann and Tzvi</strong> <strong>Shmuel Anolick</strong>).</p>
<p><strong>Rochel and Meir are planning a December Winter Fantasy Wedding, in time for Channukah. </strong><em>(and family and school alums to be on winter break)</em><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The Bride's Mother wants to plan it (it runs in the family!). I'll be in the background giving some advice and lending my experience. This is all new for me, as a grandmother, being delegated to the backseat while the next generation goes forward. There is a lesson in this for all of us. Needless to say we are <em>very, very happy </em>with the whole thing and proud of Rochel and her good judgment.</p>
