ination to see whatever it is he’s set his mind on, through to the end.
The heat from the younger vampire’s acute shyness practically burns against Jaejoong’s skin, and he cannot help but admire the steady gaze of his very own Turned, the young vampire remarkably brave despite his somewhat immediate peril.
Someone he never wanted to begin with and now, someone he cannot imagine being without.
His scent makes his blood sing.
And yet, he’s discovered that it also calms him, bringing him back into himself even if overcome by bloodlust.
They are bound, and Jaejoong cannot ignore nor pretend any longer that their connection isn’t more than it actually is.
“Are you going to make me say it out loud?”
The older vampire leans forward to press a kiss between Yunho’s eyes, feeling long lashes kissing his own cheeks as they flutter closed at the affectionate gesture.
“You can say it in here,” his voice lightly teasing. “It’s cosier isn’t it?”
“I can stay here all night, baby boy…”
“I’d say something about not being able to read your mind but we both know that’s a lie. I just feel like being indulged since somehow, I think you’ve always had the upper hand in this relationship, and I think pink is a good colour on you.”
“Relationship? We’re in a relationship?”
“No, but you did. Separate coffins, remember?”
“Too right. Ok, no more doubts from me..”
“You’re stalling, baby boy.”
“Fine…thigh. My thigh.”
“You’re such a dirty little liar, baby bat boy Jung Jung Yunho” the older vampire laughs as he kisses the heated cheeks of his young Turned. “You like a bit of pain then I guess,” he continues talking as he moves lower, making especially sure that their bodies do not touch.
“P-pain?” Yunho lifts himself up on his elbows and stares down his naked body to the grinning vampire now curled up like a very dangerous cat between his thighs. The audacious being even leans against one thigh and starts trailing his fingertips along his other thigh. Each light touch sending tremors of desire shooting through the baby vampire’s body and to his further embarrassment, his cock twitches rather merrily between them, eliciting another throaty laugh from the smirking creature who is within nuzzling distance of his balls.
Jaejoong plays a tune Yunho’s thigh, as he leans forward, eyes trained on the younger vampire’s face, his tone taking an instructional lilt. “The easiest places to feed are the wrist, the carotid and the femoral. Of the three, the femoral hurts the most.”
“You really did mean taste, didn’t you…” Yunho’s eyes drop to the slick moisture coating the head of his cock.
“Changing your mind?” Jaejoong inquires archly, his eyebrow cocked as he follows Yunho’s gaze. “There are less…painful ways.”
Raising his eyes, Yunho decides to meet the challenge he can hear in the other’s voice. “
“Indeed you are, baby boy,” Jaejoong’s smiles, his fangs lengthening.
“A little pain never hurt anyone,” Yunho swallows heavily, staring at the sharp canines. He knows he’s being a little ridiculous because he feeds from Jaejoong practically without a by-your-leave sometimes. He’s not afraid of the pain, but more of the unknown. The older vampire has never fed from him.
“I’ll be gentle,” Jaejoong leans forward and closes his eyes, burying his nose against Yunho’s inner thigh and inhaling deeply. His pupils dilate immediately, and he loses himself for a moment.
Opening his eyes, he finds Yunho still looking at him.
Trust, need, and apprehension collide in those beautifully shaped almond eyes.
Lifting a hand, he wraps it around the young vampire’s heavy cock and pumps, just as his fangs break skin and his mouth is filled.
Yunho has no idea which is worse.
The hand on his cock, or the mouth on his thigh.
Both equally compelling, both equally able to drive him mad.
And throughout the whole thing, the darkened eyes of the older vampire never leaves his face.
Yunho groans at the sweet torment. He doesn’t even have time to reflect on the fact that he’s been basically torturing Jaejoong for the better part of three nights.
His cock has swelled even more in Jaejoong’s hand but it isn’t just because of his touch.
Jaejoong’s mouth as he tastes him seems to have a straight line to his groin.
The sucking sensation is amplified and it feels like there is a hot mouth, not a hand over his turgidity.
The flames from earlier reignite and a magnified a thousand times over and his own fangs drop and a terrible hunger assails him.
A deep, raw, hunger that feels like it will never be satisfied.
Never ever be sated.
The need to feed is so deep that it feels as if his soul itself is crying out.
With a low growl of his own that is at odds with his personality, his chocolate brown eyes turn into the same twin black diamonds of his adopted Maker as he leans up to pull Jaejoong away from his leg.
Blood runs down his chin and the older vampire holds off the impatient younger one for a moment as he licks the wound clean.
Yunho can barely wait a moment longer and the second Jaejoong lifts his head up, he hauls the smaller vampire to sprawl on top of him as their mouths crash together.
Their fangs retract immediately, but the ferociousness of their contact means a split lip or two anyway. Kissing, licking and suckling at each other’s tiny wounds till they mend, their mouths slant hotly over each other’s, seemingly unable to get enough as they practically devour each other for long minutes while their hot aroused bodies rub flagrantly against each other, seeking some sort of relief.
“I’m sorry,” the younger apologises, his voice raw and hoarse with need when they finally draw apart. “I’m so sorry…I didn’t know.” Jaejoong is settled very comfortably between Yunho’s thighs and the younger vampire is rubbing his bare ass with a heel as he apologises.
“It’s ok, baby…” Jaejoong lifts his body slightly and slips his hand between their bodies, their bellies wet with the unmistakable evidence of their arousals and need, and he dips a finger into the slit of Yunho’s cock, drawing a long low moan from the younger vampire as he collects the slippery fluid.
His moan becomes even more pronounced when Jaejoong sticks his soiled finger into his mouth, those ravaged pouty lips a deep cherry red from blood and abuse, sucking so suggestively on his finger, that the need for more drugs the four-day old vampire’s mind.
“Is it ass o’clock?”
Jaejoong pauses, staring into the blown pupils of the handsome young Turned shifting restlessly beneath him, feeling Yunho’s heel digging into the fleshy part of his ass and pulling in, jerking him forward, his cock sliding alongside Yunho’s own length.
He pulls his finger from with mouth with a needlessly obscene pop and hides a smile as a flare of interest lights up Yunho’s eyes.
“Do you want it to be ass o’clock?”
“Only if it’s my ass.” Shyness forgotten momentarily, the young vampire grins at his own cheek.
Cocking his head, slightly amused at the cute smile his hopelessly adorable Turned is wearing, Jaejoong asks curiously, “You don’t want my ass?”
“I don’t know what to do with your ass.” The baby v

During the oral arguments, the dispute was concisely framed by Judge Roger Gregory: "At what point is national security so great that a person can't get a fair trial."
If the Justice Department prosecution's appeal fails, the government could take Moussaoui out of the civilian justice system and place him in military custody.
Clement said the constitutional right to call available witnesses, guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, "simply does not exist" when it involves foreign nationals captured by the military and detained in another country.
Moussaoui is seeking to call Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the reputed architect of the September 11 plot, from Pakistan; Ramzi Binalshibh, one of the plot's admitted coordinators, from Yemen; and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, one of the alleged financiers of the 19 hijackers, from Saudi Arabia.
All three men were captured in Pakistan over the past 15 months, and the Bush administration considers them "enemy combatants" out of reach of any courts and controlled by the military commanded by the president.
Moussaoui, 35, was indicted two years ago this month. He faces sixProsecutors contend that Moussaoui's actions mirrored those of the September 11 hijackers and that he aspired to fly a passenger jet into the White House then ruled that Moussaoui's right to a fair trial hinges on interviewing the detainees and that the government can't connect him to the September 11 attacks unless it lets him interview three al Qaeda members in U.S. custody.
She noted in her ruling that classified summaries of statements from those detainees indicate Moussaoui had no advance knowledge or planning role in the hijacking resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths.
Brinkema also barred the government from seeking the death penalty against Moussaoui.
"We don't think the national security issue trumps the defendant's rights to get this information that is in the possession of the Executive Branch," Dunham said.
Dunham called the attorney general the rightful "referee" of classified information and said that neither the defense nor the courts should second-guess the administration's conclusion that the detainee statements were a state secret.
Dunham suggested the Bush administration was torn between the competing interests of the Defense Department, which has custody of the enemy combatants, and the Justice Department, which wants to bring the Moussaoui case to trial.
"There is a food fight going on there in the Executive Branch, I am sure," Dunham said.
The defense's main argument remained, if the detainees, controlled by the U.S. government had exculpatory information, Moussaoui should have access.
In answer to Judge Karen Williams question, "Can it only be a testimonial?" Dunham essentially said yes, because the government-proposed summaries have been deemed inadequate and incomplete by Brinkema.

Sermon of Imam Sajjad in Madina is a speech delivered by Imam Sajjad to the people of Madina when the caravan of captives returned from Damascus to Hijaz.
“All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds; Master of the Day of Resurrection. He is the One who nourishes all creatures; the One who is somewhere high above the skies, yet so near to His servants that He can hear them whispering. We thank Him, during our hardship, for all disastrous times, tragic events, the burning of stings and deadly, unpleasant and horrible calamities.
O nation! Allah the Exalted – to whom we should be thankful – has made us face great suffering and behold a huge crack in Islam. Imam Hussain has been killed, the women and the children of his family were made captives and his head was paraded through many cities, fixed on the top of a spear. This is such a suffering incomparable to any other.
Which person from amongst you would not be depressed at his martyrdom? Which heart would not be sad? Which eye can control its tears after having seen the heavens weeping over Imam Hussain’s martyrdom, after having known that the waves of the seas, the elements of the skies, the earth, the leaves of the trees, the fish within the ocean’s watery depths and the esteemed angels have wept for Imam Hussain?
O people! Where is the heart, which does not shatter into pieces at Imam Hussain’s martyrdom? Which is the soul that does not feel sorry for Imam Hussain’s martyrdom? And which is the ear that hears this mournful news in Islam and does not become deaf, feeling intensely forlorn?! O people! We were rejected and expelled as if we were from among the Turks or from Kabul. But we were not the guilty ones, nor did we kill anyone; we also did not do anything improper, nor did we cause a slight crack in the wall of Islam. We also did not hear anything like this from our grandparents and forefathers.
This sermon, though concise, portrayed the event of Karbala in the most realistic manner; it underlined the condition of the oppressed members of Ahl al-Bayt. In this speech we also come of learn of Imam Hussain being painfully slaughtered; we see the holy Household of the Prophet being removed to Damascus as captives and we come to know about the disrespect that Yazid and his officials showed them. We then come to understand that the heads of the martyred were fixed on the top of spears, especially the holy head of Imam Hussain.
In continuation of his sermon, Imam Sajjad indicated what the holy Household of the Prophet had to face and mentioned the time they were taken captive, faced with the offensive, abusive and inappropriate behaviour that their enemies displayed towards them. He referred to the sufferings of those who indeed were the offspring of prophethood and the people of inspiration, those who were the leaders of the believers of Islam and those who were the source of peace and prosperity for all.
The Imam finished his speech after describing the slaughter perpetrated on the holy Household of the Prophet by the Umayyad army. Because if, for example, the Prophet had ordered them to kill and mutilate his own Household they would not have been able to be more obediently effective than their recent actions had revealed them to have been. While, on the contrary, we see that the holy Prophet even forbade his nation from mutilating a mad dog; and on many occasions, he recommended his nation to respect his holy Household. The Prophet equalized the respect given to his Household to the respect given to him. He never asked his nation for anything in return for his prophecy but to respect his Household. Bearing all this in mind, can anyone favour the deadly actions of the Umayyad army?
Imam Sajjad tried, in his talk, to make people aware of the oppression and suffering that the holy Household of the Prophet faced. He wanted to awaken the spirit of revolution in the people of Madinah against the Umayyad’s oppression and dictatorship as well as to put an end to the Umayyad’s transgression.

now the location of your business without a sign. Signs attract walk ins. Customers walking by do take notice and on average, your sign will be seen twice a day by people whose daily routines take them past your location. That’s 60 times a month, and it makes for very effective advertising.
Location signs work as free advertising, and fully half of the new customers of a business are drawn to it by an onsite sign. For real-world brick-and-mortar businesses, most customers are local residents and as many as 85% of them live within five mile of your business. A location sign is one of the best ways to draw them in.
Location signs work because people actually pay attention to them, out of curiosity or conditioning. More than one third, or 37%, of the people surveyed said that they look at outdoor signs each time they go past. And interactive signs are even more effective at pulling in customers: a study conducted by IBM found that 72% of customers will act on the messages in an interactive sign if it is placed within sight of the business.
Window letters, window graphics, banners, business signs and LED message centers all announce your presencecan alshigh return on investment (ROI). For instance, the cost of a a redesigned onsite business is just $0.02 per 1000 views, and yet it can reach more of your customers than any other type of advertising.
The cost of each sign varies according to the size of the sign, the materials used, colors and content. Sign manufacturers can produce small signs – 12″ by 6″ – that have a basic design for around $8, while larger signs – 30″ by 30″ – with more detailed and complicated features, can cost nearly $100. That’s still much less than an online or print campaign.
Digital signs make onsite signage even more effective. In fact, businesses with digital location signs see on average 30% more sales than those with more traditional signs. And fully 40% of shoppers say that they are more likely to shop at businesses with digital signs.
The reason is that digital signs are eye-catching without being annoying or intrusive. People find them unique, interesting and entertaining.
If you convinced of all the advantages of location signs, you should contact the sign manufacturers near you to discuss the best types of signs for your business.


The PaAccording to the Football Outsiders Almanac 2009, Jones "displayed all the mobility of the Roebling Bridge" last season, so this isn't a move to get excited about.
Wear-and-tear might have finally caught up to him, but Cincy Jungle says "Jones has been a shell for the past two seasons, in our opinioed." It might have been injuries that led his release, but the Bengals blamed injuries for the release of former Pro Bowl RT Willie Anderson before the 2008 season, but he seemed healthy and started 11 games for Baltimore in 2008. The Bengals might have released Jones just to save money.

That seems possible. If LT Chad Clifton re-injures his ankle, and has to be placed on I.R., they would have the roster spot available. And they certainly would have a need for a backup, or starting, left tackle. After Clifton and LT Daryn Colledge, the only other player who played a lot at LT in the preseason was Jamon Meredith, and he was just signed off the practice squad by Buffalo.

When reporting on the infamous  in 1947, art critic Clement Greenberg pondered, "What can fifty do against one hundred and forty million?" It wasn't so much an entire population stacked against a band of radical painters that Greenberg was contemplating...rather it was 140 million Americans essentially ignoring a art.
Another Day in the Empire is, for the most part, a scathing critique of our un-elected president and the criminals who surround him. "Since the book was written during Bush's tenure -- his hijacked tenure -- most of the essays are about," explained Nimmo. Concerned that he was reserving his well-researched venom solely for neo-cons, I asked him for his thoughts on Democrats in general...and Clinton in particular.
~~ "Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council killed any shred of liberalism in America." From "Crimes Plotted in Windowless Rooms" ~~
"I should hope a reader does not draw the conclusion from the book that I believe Democrats are a viable alternative come November," said Nimmo. "In my opinion, Kerry is a war criminal and a despicable human specimen � for his actions during Vietnam, even though he climbed on the Vietnam Veterans Against the War bandwagon after the fact -- and as his voting record indicates, he is a New Democrat: NAFTA, the Patriot Act, Bush's illegal invasion; he voted for all of these things and if he wins in November -- unlikely but not outside the realm of possibility -- his administration will not differ much from Bush. Of course, the abrasive neocons will likely be history if Kerry wins, but the agenda will be remarkably similar to Bush's. Instead of alienating the Europeans, Kerry will attempt to win them back over and get them on the neoliberal bandwagon. It will be business as usual."
~~ "Dissent makes a difference." From "Corporate Media: Selling Dubya's Oil War" ~~
"I believe Noam Chomsky is wrong to support Kerry," Nimmo told me. "I will vote for Nader -- a far from perfect choice. I will, as you have suggested, tell everybody I know to vote for Nader."

Strawberry Cream Filling is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 23.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicole-Leann from I made this filling last night (5/19/14). It is delicious! Easy to make! I was only doing a trial run so I cut the recipe in half to be sure I liked it. Use a scale to weigh your strawberries, measure exact cream and cornstarch. This will eliminate any soupy results. Wisk, wisk, wisk while it's on the heat. You don't want it to burn. (I didn't have it on the heat for the full time called as it thickened pretty quick). I put it in the fridge to speed up the cooling process, stirring often. It was perfect! If you are a strawberry lover like myself, I highly recommend you try this filling! I'm happy to try to answer any questions if you are having issues with this recipe. Happy Baking! <3
Rated 3 out of 5 by INEEDBAKECAKE from The flavor was good, but it wasn't as fluffy as i expected it to be. It seemed more like jelly filling than cream filling. However i didn't exactly follow the recipe, i used fresh strawberries, sliced them and dumped a bunch of icing sugar on them.
Rated 4 out of 5 by mizjmassie from I added a little vanilla flavoring to this recipe and it made a huge difference in overall flavor. I will admit that I put vanilla flavoring in almost everything that is a dessert even when it is not called for such as in this recipe. I just love it and I think it gives desserts that finished touch. Just like salt with meat, I think vanilla should be in desserts. I use it by itself or in addition to other flavorings. Wow, I am going on so much about vanilla flavoring that you would almost think that I was reviewing it....:)
Rated 3 out of 5 by emj811 from I wasn't as impressed with this recipe as other people were. It was ok, but I probably won't be making it again.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jessC from Easy to make and tastes GREAT!!! Also gave to a friend of mine to make who rarely bakes or cook and was very simple for her to make also. I usually put it in the freezer and stir it every couple minutes to help cool it faster. Stirring allows it to redistribute itself so it all cools. It also makes sure it stays the texture you want for it to be.
Rated 5 out of 5 by tebowling from SIMPLY DELICIOUS...
Rated 5 out of 5 by cdrobiso from this recipe is super easy to make and is not that expensive! and yummy! i use this recipe for other fruit flavors too..i puree the fruit first to for an extra smooth filling! pineapple, mango, raspeberry, blueberry, etc. some require you to add sugar (to taste) and sometimes more cornstarch. great for cakes...just make sure you chill it after the cake is finished..sometimes the filling will soak into the cake of seep out.
Rated 5 out of 5 by drs319 from I made this filling twice and everyone LOVED it!! The last time I made it I had to double the recipe and it still tasted great. Its very easy to make and is a wonderful cake filling. Several people have requested the recipe and I happily provided it to them.
Rated 4 out of 5 by MelWil from Talk about a great recipe!!!!!! Simple easy but so yummmy!!!! Add this as a filling between two layers of the strawberry cake recipe and you have a great ending to a perfect meal.
Rated 4 out of 5 by TheCakeLadyElmgren from I added powered sugar for sweetness, my husband loved it!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by laracotrupe from simply delicious!
Rated 5 out of 5 by AshB from Yummy!!! We used it as icing on our rainbow cupcakes! Will be using this recipe over & over again!
Rated 4 out of 5 by kityn from A friend asked me for a strawberry "custard" filling. I tried this one out and let her taste it. She wanted it just a little sweeter so I added a little powdered sugar and a touch more cornstarch and it came out perfect for what she was looking for.
Rated 5 out of 5 by raynebow from so easy and so tasty. made the cupcakes for a birthday party and everyone raved over them!
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsLovesToBake from I made this filling for a wedding cake and everybody LOVED it!! I received many compliments on it......so yummy =) I made a double batch and it only took 15 minutes of so and I filled a 4 tier cake (1 batch will fill a 2 tier cake). With Few ingredients it's easy to make and tastes great! ~*~my only suggestion is to continuously stir the filling so the cornstarch will not lump up on you, other than that it is very easy to make!! I would assume you could also use the filling as a frosting for a summer cake..
Rated 4 out of 5 by jewlsjahl from I made this filling to fill white cup cakes and it was delicious. I will try it with strawberry cake next. Make sure to let it cool completely. I had the filling in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before I used it. It was easy to fill cupcakes because it is so light and fluffy, but I'm sure it also makes a good cake filling.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mamageorge from Made this to fill a simple yellow cake. Smelled great tasted even better!
Rated 5 out of 5 by lalind01 from Used this as a wedding cake filling and the bride loved it! Made with fresh from the garden strawberries, easy to make and great tasting.

After authenticating and initializing a connection (BOLT 8 and BOLT 1, respectively), channel establishment may begin. This consists of the funding node (funder) sending an open_channel message, followed by the responding node (fundee) sending accept_channel. With the channel parameters locked in, the funder is able to create the funding transaction and both versions of the commitment transaction, as described in BOLT 3. The funder then sends the outpoint of the funding output with the funding_created message, along with the signature for the fundee's version of the commitment transaction. Once the fundee learns the funding outpoint, it's able to generate the signature for the funder's version of the commitment transaction and send it over using the funding_signed message.
# |       |--(1)---  open_channel  ----->|       |
# |       |<-(2)--  accept_channel  -----|       |
# |   A   |--(3)--  funding_created  --->|   B   |

# |       |--(5)--- funding_locked  ---->|       |
# |       |<-(6)--- funding_locked  -----|       |
# - where node A is 'funder' and node B is 'fundee'
The open_channel Message[edit]
feerate_per_kw indicates the initial fee rate in satoshi per 1000-weight (i.e. 1/4 the more normally-used 'satoshi per 1000 vbytes') that this side will pay for commitment and HTLC transactions, as described in BOLT 3 (this can be adjusted later with an update_fee message).
The various _basepoint fields are used to derive unique keys as described in BOLT 3 for each commitment transaction. Varying these keys ensures that the transaction ID of each commitment transaction is unpredictable to an external observer, even if one commitment transaction is seen; this property is very useful for preserving privacy when outsourcing penalty transactions to third parties.
Only the least-significant bit of channel_flags is currently defined: announce_channel. This indicates whether the initiator of the funding flow wishes to advertise this channel publicly to the network, as detailed within BOLT 7.
MUST set first_per_commitment_point to the per-commitment point to be used for the initial commitment transaction, derived as specified in BOLT 3.
Practical Considerations for temporary_channel_id[edit]
The accept_channel Message[edit]
The funding_created Message[edit]
funding_output_index to the output number of that transaction that corresponds the funding transaction output, as defined in BOLT 3.
signature to the valid signature using its funding_pubkey for the initial commitment transaction, as defined in BOLT 3.
The funding_signed Message[edit]
signature to the valid signature, using its funding_pubkey for the initial commitment transaction, as defined in BOLT 3.
The funding_locked Message[edit]
set next_per_commitment_point to the per-commitment point to be used for the following commitment transaction, derived as specified in BOLT 3.
From the point of waiting for funding_locked onward, either node MAY fail the channel if it does not receive a required response from the other node after a reasonable timeout. Rationale
The non-funder can simply forget the channel ever existed, since no funds are at risk. If the fundee were to remember the channel forever, this would create a Denial of Service risk; therefore, forgetting it is recommended (even if the promise of push_msat is significant). Future
Channel Close[edit]

Closing Initiation: shutdown[edit]
Closing Negotiation: closing_signed[edit]
MUST set fee_satoshis less than or equal to the base fee of the final commitment transaction, as calculated in BOLT 3.
MUST set signature to the Bitcoin signature of the close transaction, as specified in BOLT 3.
if the signature is not valid for either variant of closing transaction specified in BOLT 3:
otherwise, if fee_satoshis is greater than the base fee of the final commitment transaction as calculated in BOLT 3:

# |       |<-(3)---- update_add_htlc -----|       |

# |       |<-(6)--- commitment_signed ----|       |
# |       |--(7)---- revoke_and_ack ----->|       |
# |       |<-(9)---- revoke_and_ack ------|       |
Forwarding HTLCs[edit]
cltv_expiry_delta Selection[edit]
The critical settings here are the cltv_expiry_delta in BOLT 7 and the related min_final_cltv_expiry in BOLT 11. cltv_expiry_delta is the minimum difference in HTLC CLTV timeouts, in the forwarding case (B). min_final_cltv_expiry is the minimum difference between HTLC CLTV timeout and the current block height, for the terminal case (C).
the minimum cltv_expiry accepted for terminal payments: the worst case for the terminal node C is 2R+G+S blocks (as, again, steps 1-3 above don't apply). The default in BOLT 11 is 9, which is slightly more conservative than the 7 that this calculation suggests.
Adding an HTLC: update_add_htlc[edit]
Either node can send update_add_htlc to offer an HTLC to the other, which is redeemable in return for a payment preimage. Amounts are in millisatoshi, though on-chain enforcement is only possible for whole satoshi amounts greater than the dust limit (in commitment transactions these are rounded down as specified in BOLT 3).
The format of the onion_routing_packet portion, which indicates where the payment is destined, is described in BOLT 4.
The onion_routing_packet contains an obfuscated list of hops and instructions for each hop along the path. It commits to the HTLC by setting the payment_hash as associated data, i.e. includes the payment_hash in the computation of HMACs. This prevents replay attacks that would reuse a previous onion_routing_packet with a different payment_hash. Rationale
max_accepted_htlcs is limited to 483 to ensure that, even if both sides send the maximum number of HTLCs, the commitment_signed message will still be under the maximum message size. It also ensures that a single penalty transaction can spend the entire commitment transaction, as calculated in BOLT 5.
Removing an HTLC: update_fulfill_htlc, update_fail_htlc, and update_fail_malformed_htlc[edit]
The reason field is an opaque encrypted blob for the benefit of the original HTLC initiator, as defined in BOLT 4; however, there's a special malformed failure variant for the case where the peer couldn't parse it: in this case the current node instead takes action, encrypting it into a update_fail_htlc for relaying.
Committing Updates So Far: commitment_signed[edit]
When a node has changes for the remote commitment, it can apply them, sign the resulting transaction (as defined in BOLT 3), and send a commitment_signed message.
MUST include one htlc_signature for every HTLC transaction corresponding to the ordering of the commitment transaction (see BOLT 3).
Completing the Transition to the Updated State: revoke_and_ack[edit]
The description of key derivation is in BOLT 3.
if the per_commitment_secret was not generated by the protocol in BOLT 3:
Updating Fees: update_fee[edit]
There is a possibility of a race, as the recipient can add new HTLCs before it receives the update_fee. Under this circumstance, the sender may not be able to afford the fee on its own commitment transaction, once the update_fee is finally acknowledged by the recipient. In this case, the fee will be less than the fee rate, as described in BOLT 3.
The exact calculation used for deriving the fee from the fee rate is given in BOLT 3.
Message Retransmission[edit]
Note that messages described in BOLT 7 are independent of particular channels; their transmission requirements are covered there, and besides being transmitted after init (as all messages are), they are independent of requirements here.


M-J de Mesterton is the original rock painter, one of the most searched and viewed contemporary artists on the world wide web. M-J started creating psychedelic paintings of rocks and gems in 1974; her distinctive style has been imitated, never equalled. M-J de Mesterton paints the western landscape up-close. Her work is characterized by vibrant, multilayered rock- and gem-scapes and mystical compositions that suggest a higher plane of creation through elemental materials. M-J de Mesterton's paintings bridge the gap between representational and abstract conceptions--they celebrate the power of nature to transform mood; they bring balance to the environment in which you place them. M-J's paintings are beautiful expressions of a world that makes life possible.
M-J de Mesterton paints canvases in a wide range of sizes up to 66" X 72". Her wildly popular and well-reviewed show in Santa Fe, 2007 was called Oil Medium, Large and Small.

Biographical Sketch of M-J de Mesterton Published for Her 2007 Solo-Show in Santa Fe
M-J de Mesterton in Her Painting Studio (photo copyright M-J de Mesterton 2009)
M-J's mission statement is devoid of complex terminology: "I use oil almost exclusively, and oil paint comes from rocks." Her compositions are vibrant, and they are moody and nuanced. She harbors a deep fascination with organic structure. "Every color we know comes from the ground below." Her fields of rocks are cold blue arroyos that run toward fading skies, and they are glowing sunlit shapes that combine power and sensuous abandon. M-J creates a voluptuous harmony that is uniquely pleasing.
As a kid M-J loved to travel into the dry lands, which she called, "Cowboy Country". And even then she dreamed of living in the western desert, where the earth meets the light in a stark embrace. She became obsessed with the intricate shapes and colors that rest upon the ground. "I like abstraction," she says, "and I am fascinated by materials that can be turned into energy. There is so much wonder in the natural world, and it feels like alchemy to turn hard creations into mood regulators. After all, art is designed to shock, amuse, confuse, and bring happiness to untold millions, right?" The question comes with a smile. "I want to paint beautiful objects. My idea of beauty is just a little unusual...." But her paintings are beautiful, and they are neither modern nor old-fashioned: they exist in timeless constructs that combine bold expression with respect for genesis. "I love the earth; I love fullness and elegant structure; I love strength and integrity of form--and I'm not afraid of scale. There is an irresistible fusion that drives life and culture forward into the next frame. My paintings are snapshots of a conceptual moment, they exist to focus the eye on elemental objects, and how those objects can work together to make a field that plays on human perception. I want to move you."

Triangulation Invariant Models from Intertwiner Dynamics
08 October 2013 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
Spin foams provide a proposal for a non--perturbative path integral for quantum gravity, based on fundamental building blocks. A key open question to validate this proposal is the continuum limit of the models, which we here understand as the limit including a large number of these building blocks. The complexity of the models made progress difficult.
We will shortly review the program to investigate the problem of the continuum limit first in simpler analogue models. This helped to develop tools and techniques and most of all approximations and truncations that can be tested on increasingly more complicated models and in this way to build up to the full models.
Here we will introduce a variant of these models which in their algebraic structure (i.e. the structure group) almost reach the full models and are based on the quantum group SU(2)_k. We will construct a procedure to construct triangulation invariant 2D models inside this class of models and argue that these models can be understood as intertwiners implementing simplicity constraints, the key dynamical ingredient of spin foams.
We will discuss the implications for the problem of the continuum limit of spin foams and advertise the triangulation invariant models as new toy theories to test and explore concepts important for background independent systems such as notions of diffeomorphism symmetry and Hamiltonian constraints in a discrete.

It all started in 2013 when Braydon Moreno and Coby Kabili were students at San Diego State University, discovering the power of 3D printing. Kabili, an engineering student, needed something to aid in the completion of his senior engineering course developing a 3D-printed prosthetic leg. Moreno, a business management student, became fascinated by the technology and its potential of enabling students, businesses, and everyday people to bring their ideas to life. Together, the duo built their first 3D printer and launched it on Kickstarter with an initial goal of raising $49,000. They ended up surpassing their original goal by $600,000 and haven’t looked back since.

What is the sense of invoking the universal order of race to account for local systems of exclusion and discrimination? And why is it the sort of system that tends to prevail in the Atlantic world broadly speaking, including the Americas and Western Europe, that tends to be invoked as the one-size-fits-all schema for understanding human diversity throughout the worldthe most ambitious attempts at a universal taxonomy of human racial types, the so-called ‘racial science’ that flourished from the late-18th to the mid-20th centuries, was primarily interested in accounting for, and naturalizing, the social order that had emerged in the Atlantic world as a consequence of slavery. The racial science is posterior to the racism, and the racism is posterior to the economic order of the region, which was built on the labor of Africans not because these people had been seen at the outset as inferior and thus as suitable for enslavement, but mostly because shifting power dynamics in the Mediterranean region had greatly diminished the Ottoman slave trade by the 16th century and had sent European traders to West Africa for a more reliable supply.[5]
The Ottoman trade was significant, but took place at a much smaller scale than the trans-Atlantic system that would come after it. This latter stage of the world history of slavery, in fact, unfolded at such a large scale, and had such a profound impact on the global economy, that it was possible to take the categories of human being implicated in this system to be, so to speak, universally valid. It is not coincidental that the early modern period, which witnessed the explosion of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, also witnessed the first post-classical large-scale projects for a universal taxonomy of natural kinds, most notably of plants and animals, culminating in particular in the universal ‘system of nature’ of Carl Linnaeus in the early 18th century.

Has anyone with back/chest acne ever cut out dairy from their diet?I have been using benzaclin on my face and chest for 4.5 years...and I quit using it on my back in June. It was fine for a month...then started breaking out like crazy and has stayed that way for awhile. My chest also breaks out even though I use the benzaclin..and I get nodules on my face. I'm on birth control too...
I was reading online about how dairy can cause acne...and I have eaten yogurt 5 out of 7 days a week for a year and a half!I'm wondering if that could be affecting my skin as well. But my face isn't too bad from it...which is what kind of confuses me...but my back is awful..and it would even break out when I used the benzaclin. I'm thinking about trying to cut diary out of my diet for a month to see what happens. But I was wondering if anyone has ever tried that for body acne, and if it worked. Thanks!

I needed to blog today.
I should tell you about things going on since there are some real life announcements it'd be best to inform people of, but. Too tired right now will do tomorrow.
It's not that it's too painful to stand up straight. (I mean it is, but that's not the problem.) It's that it is literally physically impossible. As in I am sending the command to do so to my body and my body refuses to obey. And even using my hands to manually shift my body into that position, I can only stretch things out so far before the physical resistance of my body becomes too great for them to push further.
I also want to have really competent lighting/shading going on. It's easy for me to screw that up and usually I'm just randomly throwing it on. I don't think that I can manage to implement a full realistic look. First I'd have to track down a lighting tutorial. Then I'd have to modify their techniques if they use specific program ones I can't replicate. Then I'd actually have to apply it to my own image, since I wouldn't be copying them; I'd be making my own stuff up. So I don't think I can do that.
Well still not going to give the blog I owe.
I owe one from yesterday, I owe one from Saturday...geez I'm bad at this blogging thing. It's already pretty late, too, so I am at danger of not saying anything even though I have stuff to say for today, too. Basically, let's start with the bad news: my feet are still hurting.
...Yes, I said feet. Not foot. My left foot remains far, far, far worse with a pain which may be getting worse rather than better (hard to tell for sure), but the same exact pain in the same exact location has existed for a while on the right side as well, just more subtly so.
I don't know at what point I should go from hoping it'll heal on its own to going to the doctor, because let's face it: there's absolutely no middle ground between the two. Either it's something that will go away on its own, or it's something that my loved ones will (especially when they know) insist on a doctor visit for. I really don't know what it could possibly be though. If it's an injury you'd expect the injury to heal, to get better on its own without me needing to do anything.
Also, my gear I ordered came in. Three of the items were what I ordered!
I also was rather proud of myself--said two items? I managed to (after having unfolded them) refold them to be incredibly compact, and not messy-compact. Actually looking semi-professionally folded! Probably similarly to how they originally had been, even!  I took guesses based off of seams, wrinkles, and vague recollection of a Reader's Digest article. But they became compact enough to fit inside a mailbox of someone who I'm sure can at least confirm the nature of the situation.
I'm pretty sure there's more, but that's about all I can think of for now. With that, I should go to sleep soonish.
Today gave me some ideas.
I had my counseling appointment today so I might have some idea of how to start getting my focus back.
A problem existed from the dance aside from that. This dance was advertised as a finger potluck. The only one to bring anything was us--and it was vanilla cupcakes. I didn't eat before-hand because I expected there to be food there. (Also I kinda sorta ran out of time but that's a different problem altogether.) And yet. All which was there was essentially the pure sugar home-made vanilla cupcakes.
At the very end we did get something extra though!
I had an interesting story idea.
...But it's past midnight and I have work tomorrow which means that I can only give you the cliffnotes version.
It involves a world where everyone is in some way special, but not in the borderline-cliched "everyone except one person has a superpower" way.
Basically the setting has disablers, enablers, and empowered, and is modern technology aside from some more futuristic gadgetry which is slowly but surely spreading, a fairly typical superhero world. But with a twist. I can explain the dynamics more precisely, but I should do so after sleeping.
I'll say the reason I haven't been here is due to having anime night, a special variant on family night in which my parents are gone for the full night (and thus, no chance of us being caught), so my brother visits and us three watch anime. We finished the 12 made episodes of Saga of Tanya the Evil, then we watched the 8 dubbed episodes available of season 2 of Attack on Titan.
That doesn't really diminish how awesome I found the reveal though!
Should be going to bed.
Tomorrow has work then dance, so I might be busy then. Ah well.
I don't really have much to say today. I've kinda sorta felt like I've already blogged my heart out today (my fault I kinda did a rambled already earlier today and it feels hard to duplicate), so right now I don't know what to talk about. We have family night going on technically but that's nothing surprising.
Yet beyond games where I play mother. I just. I love people. I want to help them. I want to be a part of their lives. There are certain individuals who I love more than the rest of the world. And I never want to lose them. Yet in that sense I have the Prince-from-Princess Tutu-like sense of "love the whole world but especially a special person (or two)".
Ow my foot.
Specific foot this time rather than more than one. My left one has a problem. I don't know the toe-name counterparts so I'm going to describe using terms from the left hand. There's a really strong pain from approximately the ring finger knuckle which runs through the "hand" (foot), down to the "wrist" (ankle), and this pain is in the middle-surface level in that it feels between everything.
It's also if memory serves me a recurring problem; I seem to recall I've had this exact injury hindering me in the past but I don't remember it ever getting treated/fixed. Something we'll have to look into.
And yes, for those keeping track.
Ice cream and Rice Crispies after dance.
I'd probably have more to say if I wasn't at the point of collapsing from exhaustion.

Sermon on the 10th of November, 2003 in Lübeck
Even this evening, the date of the death sentence by the “Peoples’ Tribunal” against the three Catholic priests, it is worth to again listen to the words of that sentence:
“You have been accused of having repeatedly listened to and distributed broadcasts of German-language enemy radio since 1940 or the beginning of 1941 and thereby having fostered enemy propaganda. Furthermore, you have organised, since the spring or summer of 1941 at the direction of your superior Church authority, regular group evenings supposed to strengthen the faith of the participants and which were, to the most part. attended by young men, who had been invited by the accused and some of which were members of the Wehrmacht who also introduced other guests, and you are also accused of having, by the distribution of writings, incited disobedience against the National-Socialist State during these group evenings, aided the enemy and did make preparations for treason.”
“Therefore I have the expectation and the hope that I shan’t in any way be ruined, but that in all frankness, as always, Christ will be glorified through my body, be it in life, be in death. Because life for me is Christ and death but gain!”.
There is no farewell letter by Johannes Prassek. It was probably destroyed because of his strong criticism.1
Suffering and persecution for the sake of one’s faith have always been experienced by Christians over time. During early Christendom the word “Martyr” was reserved for those who gave their lives for their Faith. Their examples were commemorated by annual memorials. They became the directive ideal of being a Christian. According to the words of Tertullian, the blood of those Witnesses of Faith became the seed for more Christians. The existence of a martyr is the utmost and most concrete expression of being a Christian and human being at the same time. By his suffering and dying for the Truth the martyr becomes close to the Son of Man. Thus, the martyr of the original and early Church became the centre of Christian matter of course. The martyr becomes simply the witness, who not just accuses the persecutor, but manifests a new reality. Thus, the martyr is simply the Saint, the highest form of a Christian existence.
It is a pity that this course of life up till now has not been brought to the fore because of the somewhat unfortunate categorisation of “Resistance”. One has classified people of the Resistance most readily, when they could be found within the conspiracy of the 20th of July, 1944. Quite often the concept of “Resistance” was also reserved for the act of conscious political revolt. That is why the names of the four Lübeck clergymen are missing from, for instance from “Lexikon des deutschen Widerstandes“ (Encyclopaedia of the German Resistance), or similar summarising works, or collections of personal portraits. These are unfortunate lapses. Sometimes their witness is downgraded by declaring that they didn’t really render active political resistance, but rather, were unfortunate in that they were denounced. Therefore it is good to regard witnesses for Jesus Christ as a separate category, which includes the political as well as the human dimension. This alters and broadens the classic, ecclesiastic concept of a martyr.
These investigations bring to our notice that, never before in history, have so many Christians globally become the victims of persecution and violent death because of their Faith as in the 20th century. Dictatorships of all kinds have engendered the resistance of courageous Christians, who followed their consciences and payed with their lives for the sake of justice. The collection of names reminds us of the harrowing barbarity of the past century. There are not just the many martyrs of early Christendom and later epochs.
The Martyrs show us, that Faith must be rooted in a time in history, that Christian hope must not become immune to suffering, abstract and without a sense of history. In them hope can again prevail convincingly in the face of the power of hate and death. The Martyrs especially, are witness to the fact that power does not have the last word. Amen.

I am just an ordinary scholar, never interested in demonstrations and not used to protests. I can only write my articles.

Points to consider when using TouchEvents
- Zooming – On mobile devices moving multiple fingers about the screen can result in the webpage being zoomed in/out. You may want to prevent this. I recommend doing so for drag n drop operations, You can prevent with following meta tag :
The event is fired when the finger moves across the screen from its starting co ordinates. Tracking the finger until it stops allows us to simulate the mouse moving across the screen. What I did for this was to capture the co ordinates of the first fingers position and find out which element the finger was over, that way when the finger is removed we know the last place it visited.
void _onTouchMove(TouchEvent event){
_dragSourceEl.classes.add('moving');
//Get the current x,y position of the first finger and find the element it is over
_dropTarget = document.elementFromPoint(event.touches[0].pageX,event.touches[0].pageY);
// If the finger is over an element indicate that in the UI
_dropTarget.classes.add('over');
The implementation of the onTouchEnd method will be identical to the onDrop method in the last tutorial I wrote – Getting Started : Dart. You are completing the same logic think of lifting your finger off the screen as depressing the mouse button. If you are unsure of the implementation you can look back at the last post here

Gunman Kills 7, Himself In Church
Br 16, 1999 Email the author Follow @dugganwapo
A gunman walked into a Fort Worth church during a prayer rally for teenagers tonight and opened fire
The unidentified assailant, who appeared to be in his thirties, entered Wedgwood Baptist Church shortly after 7 p.m. and fired numerous shots as more than 150 young people and others in the sanctuary screamed and dived for cover, witnesses and police said. Police said seven people died in the church, including the gunman, and one later died at a hospital.
At least three of the dead were teenagers, authorities, and at least two were in critical condition.
Witnesses told reporters at the scene that the assailant reloaded his weapon at least once.
There are "ca" said Fort Worth police spokesman David Ellis.
A fire department spokesman, Steven Kerr, said some witnesses also reported hearing an explosion, and that bomb technicians were searching the building for explosive devices. "There have been reports [that] possibly a pipe bomb had gone off during the shooting," he said. Authorities reported finding potential bomb fragments.
"He hits the door real hard to make his presence known and he just immediately started firing," the Associated Press quoted Dax Hughes, the church's college minister, as saying.
"I saw him keep shooting and reloading. . . . He'd empty and reload," one young survivor told reporters outside the red-brick church in the southwest section of Fort Worth.
"I just saw him point and shoot," another witness, Christy Martin, 17, told reporters. She said the gunman appeared "very calm and looked normal and was smoking a cigarette."
Daniel Cox told Fox News: "A friend of mine and I were in back. We heard some tat-tat-tat, really loud. . . ." They peeked around the door and saw smoke. "We ducked back in, and I noticed some glass shatter and I just ran." Cox said he had not seen his friend since they were in the church together.
Fort Worth Police Chief Ralph Mendoza said the shooter was a white man armed with a semiautomatic weapon but that he had not been immediately identified. The assailant and his victims were still in the church tonight as relatives, friends and others stood outside, crying and bomb technicians searched the church for explosives.
vacuated a two-block area around the church while the search for explosives continued.
Chris Applegate, 12, told a local television station he was in choir practice when the gunman burst into the room.
"We all just jumped under the benches and he fired about 10 more shots. . . . Somebody said, `Run! Run!' " and we all started running."
The prayer rally attracted teenagers not only from Wedgwood's congregation but from other churches, officials said. Kerr said the assailant, described as wearing black, apparently did not speak before opening fire.
"Thisit took place in a house of hope and love," Texas Gov. George W. Bush said in a statement.
Rachel Shipp, 18, shared that sentiment. One of her friends had been killed, another seriously wounded and a third could not be found.
Special correspondent Khiota Therrien contributed to this report from Washington.


Dependencies on authoritarian states are coming under increased scrutiny, with democratic nations recognizing that they are, at best, critical vulnerabilities and, at worst, a direct threat. Built over years, these dependencies cannot be resolved overnight and can impede an effective economic response to acts of aggression and human rights abuses reliancdumping and countervailing duty evasion Law, the China appears to have retaliated by cutt
If so, the message is clear: if the US government attempts to hold Chinese companies accountable to US laws, the country’s energy transition will suffer. And while China has demonstrated that it can and will cut off the United States in response to trade investigation and human rights law enforcement, it doesn’t take much imagination to recognize the risks posed by a more serious conflict.
The need to counter China’s dominance of solar manufacturing with a sustainable industrial policy is now more urgent than ever. We already have the technology and innovation needed to underpin this strategy, and with the right policies, we can easily achieve self-sufficiency well before the end of this decade.
Solar energy only brings independence if the supply of technology that converts photons into electrons is free from authoritarian influence and reflects the values and principles of the democratic nations that use it. Anything less is just another form of dependence on authoritarian energy and endangers the interests of our nation.


Some time ago, I ran this post regarding dubious Afghan airline KAM-Air. Since then, of course, KAM has made itself notorious in another way by flying a Boeing 737 full of passengers into a mountain. Back on the 16th of January, I mentioned that Kam’s fleet included aircraft from Phoenix Aviation in Kyrgyzstan, the 727 formerly operated by Chris Barrett-Jolley, and a 727 leased from something called “Financial Advisory Group” of Sharjah and formerly Miami. However there has been no such company in Florida since 1989. After correspondence with a reader, I have learnt more about this otherwise mysterious outfit.
FAG were the owners of another 727, like 3D-JOY (21090) in Afghanistan an ex-American Airlines beast, that crashed in Cotonou, Benin with substantial loss of life on Christmas Day 2003. That aircraft, 3X-GDO serial no. 21370, was operated at the time by a Guinean firm called UTA. UTA, though, were leasing the plane first from a Swazi firm called “Alpha Omega Airways” and then from Financial Advisory Group directly. FAG apparently bought the plane from an intermediary, Pegasus Aviation, who bought it from AA in late 2001 and first tried to sell it to Ariana Afghan Airlines. Somehow this deal fell through (although the modifications to comply with two Airworthiness Directives were carried out in Afghanistan, so it must have gone there), and FAG bought the jet. First it was registered 3D-FAK in Swaziland (a frequent locale for Viktor Bout’s activities) and leased to UTA, before being registered in Guinea as 3X-GDO. At UTA it replaced the immediate sister of 3D-JOY; serial no. 21089.
During a ramp check in Beirut, it was discovered that the aircraft’s operating documentation was split among all these firms; the insurance policy applied to a different plane, the tech log was from Ariana, the MEL (the list of the minimum equipment required for safe operation) was the American Airlines one, later replaced by a Swazi one that hadn’t been approved by the Swazi authorities. These institutional flaws complemented a long list of physical ones. None of this should be surprising; UTA’s chief pilot wasn’t qualified on the B727 and neither was anyone else there. The tech manager was trained on the Lockheed Tristar and DC8, and the strong impression is given that literally no management structure for 727 operations existed. When the plane failed to achieve take-off, killing dozens of people, the state of Benin asked the French government to carry out a full accident investigation.
It was the French investigation that lifted the lid on these bizarre dealings, including two further key facts. Firstly, they traced the Financial Advisors to the Virgin Islands, a tax paradise where (incidentally) a number of Jetline International planes are registered. (Unfortunately the report does not specify the British or US Virgin Islands.) Secondly, they discovered that 3X-GDO had somehow acquired two of the engines belonging to serial no. 21089, the former N862AA. This aircraft is believed to have passed through Afghan hands too (attracting the registration YA-FAL) before its stint with UTA. From there it ended up in store in Libya. Bizarrely, though, its UTA registration (Guinean) 3X-GDM was transferred to an Antonov 12 belonging to a completely different airline on another continent. Something called “President Airlines” of Cambodia – I kid you not – has it. The most recent photo of it I can find puts it in Phnom Penh on the 27th July.

To develop, debug and improve software running on Systems-on-Chip (SoC), developers need access to the SoC’s internal structures. Developers need to observe the program execution to understand how the software is executed, and they need control over the software execution from a remote system. The Open SoC Debug (OSD) is an extensible, modular specification which enhances SoCs with such debug and tracing functionality.
The functionality of Open SoC Debug can be placed in three groups:
Run-Control debug functionality. The software execution on the SoC is temporarily suspended and control over the execution flow is handed over to a software tool, the “debugger.”
Tracing functionality. The software execution is observed and the resulting observations are transferred out of the chip, but the execution is not halted or otherwise modified.
Internal system access. During the process of software development, fast and hassle-free access to the SoC is required. For example, the program code can be written into the RAM directly, instead of loading it from persistent storage, such as flash memory.
Open SoC Debug is a modular and extensible specification, acknowledging the fact that every SoC and every target market has its different design goals and thus requires different trade-offs.
This document, the Open SoC Debug specification, contains both required and optional parts. The required parts MUST be implemented by any conforming implementation of Open SoC Debug, the optional parts MAY be implemented.
In addition to this specification, the Open SoC Debug Contributors have also developed a reference implementation of many components described in this specification. It is provided as a starting point for own developments. However, independent implementations following this specification are encouraged.
