Oil and Gas Drilling in America: Some Key Facts
The oil and gas industry claims that the only way to address our country's numerous energy issues is to open more public lands and waters to oil and natural gas drilling. What they don't tell you is that drilling in America is already occurring at an astonishing pace and in a bewildering number of places. The facts below show that "more drilling" won't solve America's energy problems.

A developer is pushing ahead with plans to build 28 townhouses near the Krumkill and Route 85 — a relatively rare proposal for housing within the city limits.
In fact, the 28 units would single-handedly top all residential construction in the city in 2009.
Marathon Point, as the project is known, is slated for 7.2 acres on the city's southern edge, on a plot of land seen as one of the few large developable plots of land left in Albany. (Harriman and Kenwood campuses are the others, I guess?)
Arthur Kontogiannis, the developer, faces some serious hurdles before construction can begin, and city officials seem skeptical that the project will get off the ground. Additional details are here, in today's story by Jordan Carleo-Evangelist.
And the project has sparked debate on Jordan's Facebook page.

Mexicana actress/producer/mom Salma Hayek has decided to take the last name of her husband, PPR CEO François-Henri Pinault, whom she married in February 2009.
According to Hayek, the move was promoted by the couple's inquisitive two-year-old daughter, Valentina Paloma, who was curious as to why mommy and daddy didn't have the same last name. "We were shooting a film, and she saw my chair with my name on it," Hayek told InStyle magazine in a recent interview. "She says, 'What does it say there?' And I said, 'Salma Hayek.' And she said, 'What about Pinault? Why not Pinault?' Because people here [in France] say 'Madame Pinault'."
"I said to myself, 'This is who I am now. I'm starting a whole new life. I've never been happier," Hayek went on to explain. "Why shouldn't I share it with the people who have been supporting me my whole career, who have been with me since the beginning?' "
Sometimes the biggest moves are prompted by the littlest among us. As they say: Out of the mouths of babes…
What do you think, is it important for a woman to take her husband's last name after they're married? Cast your vote!

Why do people update their status on atrocities like Facebook? Even a better question is why do people feel the need to update their status on Facebook? Have you ever noticed that these status changes are more negatively charged than positively?
The trend for the last two years just to name a few are phrases like HMU (Hit me up) and FML (F*** my life). Both are used most frequently by teens. But they are both signs of a culture that is fixed on pain. Hit Me Up: a term to have people call them or get in touch with them or to somehow communicate with the one who is posting that message. Why are they doing it? Because they are lonely individuals. It actually is a cry for help: please someone talk to me. Why isn't anyone talking to this person? Because they are all too busy texting others and/or IM everyone else in their stupid address book. The lonely heart cries for someone to communicate with. But what they are not realizing is that even if someone does text them in one way or another that they aren't really communicating. The personalization or intimacy of relationship is lost. No matter what stuff.com.nz says, "In fact, we believe there is sufficient evidence that social media afford opportunities for new expressions of friendship, intimacy and community." These are the wrong rationalizations for Facebook. Most of these new expressions only tend to hurt people. Intimacy with a computer...hello...phone sex. Community???? Since when do people work together to get things done in the real world on Facebook? No, HMU means people are hurting.
So what about FML? Do we have to even go there?
The main question is why do people post these things if they are hurting? Why do we feel the need to tell the world how much pain we are suffering? Human interaction has changed but the old adage misery loves company remains true. It used to be we would call our best friend and unload on them but now we see we have a bigger audience and it tends to feed people off their anger. They can now express to the world how angry they are all at once. But since they can hide behind the impersonal avatar they can say anything they want and feel no consequences. This allows stronger feelings to be expressed and terms of hatred are filtered through our minds. But little do they care that they hurt others in this way. Some people aren't happy unless others are hurting. It doesn't make you any better than those who hurt you if hurt people too.
LESSON TO BE LEARNED: No one else needs to actually feel the pain in order to have sympathy for you. No one needs to actually feel the pain to understand that people need healing.
No it's just not Facebook, it's our culture. We are spoiled. We think we deserve it all and that the world owes us. We feel we are the stars of the world and the population is our audience. Listen, when given a lemon, make lemonade, don't just spit out the seeds at everyone.
The culture is hurting. The culture is crying out for help. The culture needs healing.
People are hurting. People are crying out. People need healing.
Church, where are you? Probably texting...
Only God can heal, people have to learn how to forgive.
What do you think? HMU...

Weight-conscious people are familiar with BMI (Body Mass Index) as a yardstick to identify ideal weight. There is a way to measure the body condition of our furry friends, too. The pet version of BMI is called BCS (Body Condition Score) which is a quantitative yet subjective method for evaluating body fat.
Boerboels are strong and fearless with guardian instincts, but they're also very playful and affectionate toward their owners.
While all breeds need exercise and mental stimulation, the highly intelligent, energetic Border Collie needs them more than most. He will never be satisfied with life as a couch potato.
Proudly scruffy and plain-Jane brown, the Border Terrier looks like a mutt, and he would not have it any other way. A working terrier with a hard, wiry coat and bristly muzzle, the Border Terrier does not have time for lots of showing off or aggressive terrier posturing. He is calm, cool, collected, and ready to go for a walk, chase the rabbits out of the garden, or just sit contentedly beside you.
Despite their beautiful presence, in their natural habitat, formerly Russia, Borzois were among the most skilled hunting dogs, masterful at tracking, sighting, and running down wolves. It is this legacy that makes them most suitable for country living.
This much-loved dog is one of the few purebreds created and established in the United States. Although he is all dog, this Bostonian tough guy is a sweet and affectionate companion animal. The main interest of a Boston Terrier is to be with you.
The Bouvier des Flandres was bred in Belgium to drive cattle, pull carts and protect the farm. When properly trained and socialized, the Bouvier makes a fine canine companion, but make no mistake - although technically a herding breed, the Bouvier has a strong personality and a guard-dog instinct.
Boxers show their indefatigable enthusiasm for life with their muscled, wiggly bodies and by wagging their little stub of tail. Always ready for play and affection, Boxers make good family dogs.
When governor Richard W. Riley signed into law the act making the Boykin Spaniel the state dog in South Carolina, he said it was because of "the fierce dedication, stalwart loyalty, noble character, and eagerness for both hard work and lively play exemplified by this native breed."

Father Fagan Park
Father Fagan Park
This park commemorates four local heroes who perished in the face of fire, losing their lives that others might live. Born in Rio de Janiero, Father Richard Fagan (1911-1938) moved with his family to Boston, Massachusetts as a child and later lived in Brooklyn, New York. He studied with the Marist Brothers in Poughkeepsie and entered the Preparatory Seminary at Catskill in 1926. Three years later, he graduated from St. Anthonys Seraphic Seminary and entered the Novitiate in Pittsburgh. In 1932 he came to St. Francis Seraphic Seminary and was ordained a Franciscan priest in 1935. Father Fagan was called to duty at St. Anthonys Church in 1936 and lived at the rectory at 151 Thompson Street.
The rectory caught fire in the early morning of November 4, 1938. Father Fagan escaped and then twice reentered the burning buildingfirst to rescue Father Louis Vitale, and again to save Father Bonaventure Pons. Trapped in the rectory and badly burned, Father Fagan leaped through a window to the roof of the Settlement House a floor below. He was found and brought to Columbus Hospital, where he died on November 9, 1938 at the age of twenty-seven. To describe Father Fagans heroic life and heroic death, members of his church quote the Book of John: "There is no greater love than this: to lay down ones life for ones friends" (John 15: 13).
In 1994 another deadly fire stunned the neighborhood. On the night of March 28, Ladder Company 5 and Engine Company 24 of the Fire Department of New York responded to a blaze at 62 Watts Street. While operating on the second floor landing, Captain John J. Drennan (1945-1994) and Firefighters James F. Young (1963-1994) and Christopher J. Siedenburg (1969-1994) were trapped in a sudden flashover from the burning apartment beneath them. Firefighter Young was killed almost instantly. Firefighter Siedenburg died the next day, and Captain Drennan died six weeks later.
Located at the Avenue of the Americas, Spring Street, and Prince Street, this sitting area was one of several wedge-shaped plazas developed when Sixth Avenue was extended south of Carmine Street in the mid-1920s. It was named in memory of Father Fagan by local law in 1941 and was one of several properties along Sixth Avenue and West Houston Street improved and rehabilitated by Parks in 1960.
In 1994 three Callery Pear trees were planted, and three bronze plaques were installed on the northwest corner of the parcel, in memory of the three firefighters who sacrificed their lives in the Watts Street blaze. Neighborhood residents and members of the St. Anthonys Helping Hands group help to maintain and to beautify the park.

We were sitting in the conservatory having breakfast on a cold wet November Saturday morning. The rivers of water were just pouring down the glass roof, liquid sunshine at its best. From across the table the question was lofted into the air, "what is the best supercar for winter?" This set off quite the debate. First up was agreeing a set of criteria, it would need to be able to handle snow, rain, frozen roads, and survive being covered in both grit & salt. Being able to carry a couple of pairs of skis would be added bonus.
Just to stir the waters, my initial suggestion was the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. I tried to defend the Cayenne by stating that it had a better 0-60 mph time than the Aston Martin Vanquish only to be told off and reminded that this was a discussion on supercars, not supertrucks. With the threat of being tossed out into the rain, we agreed to stick to the cars on the EVO supercar list. The question then became, what attributes would a supercar need to have to make it winter friendly. Four wheel drive was an easy one to agree on, the second was a bit of a contradiction. Ideally it would need decent ground clearance. Not really something most supercars are noted for.
At this point we just started listing cars that came to mind which we thought would fit the bill. First up was the Audi R8 V10. However a quick check of the EVO Supercar list put an end to R8's hopes. Too bad as I did think the R8 V10 would have been a serious contender. The Bentley Continental GT was up next, same fate as the R8 though. Finally using the EVO list as a guide, the five that did make the first cut were the Porsche 911 Turbo, Ferrari FF, Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Gallardo, and Lamborghini Aventador. The need for some ground clearance narrowed the list down to the 911 Turbo and the FF pretty quickly. I have driven the 911 Turbo and FF in dry and wet conditions. In both conditions, they are brilliant and grip is more than ample. Snow however is another issue altogether and I have zero experience with either on roads covered in the white mushy stuff. Hence a final recommendation was not something I was in a position to give.
A bit of research on winter road tests for the two contenders indicated that both the Porsche and Ferrari are very sure footed in the messy stuff. The combination of 4 wheel drive with state of the art stability and anti-lock brake systems that both cars are equipped with get the job done highly competently. Only issue, I could not find a single group test that compared the two on snow. About the only thing I could find that would tilt the field in either direction was the fact that the FF has a hatch so you can carry a ski bag in the back. Nice feature but something more performance based should determine the winner. Essentially, based on the information available, it looks like a tossup between the two, and that is where we netted out.
It does sound like a great topic for a group test. Maybe then we will have a clear winner.
Post Script
With temperatures still in the single digits as April rapidly approaches, it appears winter has no intention of going away anytime soon. After several recent drives out in supercars devoid of modern electronics on nearly frozen roads requiring both a high degree of skill and concentration to keep things pointed in the right direction, what other options should be considered came back to mind. While the Ferrari FF and Porsche 911 Turbo are still the leading contenders (if the Audi R8 V10 gets promoted to the Supercar list it would also be a front runner), perhaps a mid engine 2WD coupe with advanced stability systems might not be a bad option either. I do have one close friend who swears his Ferrari 360 Spider is brilliant in the snow. He claims that having the engine near the rear wheels gives it both great traction and balance. On paper it actually does make some sense. After all, Ferrari originally ran their On Ice Winter Driving Program using 430s. If it works on a 360 & 430, then with the advances in stability control systems it should be even better on the latest generation of supercars. With this in mind a quick scan of the EVO Supercar list through up a few new options, the Ferrari 458, Lexus LFA, & the McLaren 12C. While all 3 have state of the art traction control systems, the air brake and brake steering on the 12C might give it an interesting advantage over the other two. At a minimum it would make for a very interesting "On Ice" group test. As "Global Colding" seems to be here to stay, a supercar that you can use year round in all conditions is becoming more and more appealing.

EU takes up 'Forget Me Not' school campaign for missing people to go Europe-wide
A GROUND-breaking project by students from Mallow has been used as a blueprint for the proposed establishment of a Europe wide national missing person's day.
The Forget Me Not missing persons campaign, established by pupils from Davis College, has been held up by the chair of an influential Dail committee as an example of the huge influence one simple idea can have.
David Stanton, the chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality, made his comments during an address at this week's Mallow Town Council joint policing committee.
"The committee has done a lot of good work in various areas over the past two years, a lot of which has had a major impact. One of the most interesting of those was a discussion we had on the issue of missing persons," said Deputy Stanton.
He said this was prompted by a seminar he attended in Mallow launching the Forget Me Not campaign. "That project was so impressive it subsequently went on the win the Young Social Innovators Award," said Deputy Stanton.
"I was taken by the manner in which the students and teachers presented their work. So much so that I went back to my colleagues on the justice committee and said it was an issue we should be doing something about," said Deputy Stanton.
Following on from that, the committee held a series of hearings with input from Davis College students, other missing persons groups, gardai and search and rescue units from across the country.
The committee's report was then presented to the Justice Minister, Alan Shatter.
"On the basis of that report he has decided than from this year on the first Wednesday in December will be National Missing Persons Day," said Deputy Stanton.
He said Minister Shatter had taken the idea to his European counterparts and there are now moves afoot to create a Europe-wide national missing persons day.
"That whole concept originated here in Mallow through the initiative of the students in the town. It goes to show that any person who has an idea can make a difference to the lives of so many people," said Deputy Stanton.

What Men Do When No One Is Around [VIDEO]
A lot of women often wonder about what men do in their spare time when no one else is around. So, today I thought I would shed light on some of the things we've accomplished.
Alone time is a creative time. This is a time where we put our imaginations to the test and try to make them into reality. How do you think the airplane got invented? Or the slinky? Recently a video was brought to my attention of 3 guys in their dorm room who filled 101 beer bottles with different amounts of liquid and used knives to play the tune "Flight of the Bumble Bee." This is a prime example of some of the things we do.:

It looks like a bit of liquid libation has cured Cate Blanchett of her award show nerves.
"I have a few vodkas under my belt," begins Oscar-winning actress Cate and we know we're off to a good start.
The Blue Jasmine star, who won Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angele on Sunday night , admitted before the show that she usually gets a few jitters before walking the red carpet but tries to focus on the bigger picture.
The 44-year-old Australian actress told E! Online: "It could be nerve wracking having that many pictures taken of like your nasal hair. But look, in the end, it's a celebration of performances in film and television and that's what you have to remind yourself."
Though there wasn't even a hint of Cate's nerves when she took to the stage to accept her award for her role in director Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.
Cate managed a few thank yous, some commentary on the role of women in film and mentions that she took her children to The Magic Castle on a trip out earlier that day.
Then she gets faster and faster - pulling out quip after quip - gush after gush - before ending by saying: "Michael Barker and Tom Bernard, for not only plying me with vodka in the way Judy Garland was probably plied with barbiturates, thank you, thank you!"
Watch Cate's brilliant acceptance speech below.

In the season eight finale of The Simpsons, "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson," Bart discovers dozens of megaphones during a class trip to the Springfield Police Department. Naturally, he does what any 10-year-old who previously put moth balls in the beef stew would do: line the devices up, and yell "testing." The feedback is so significant — and loud — that windows break and beer bottles shatter from miles away. Bart's prank gets him sent to military school, unlike in real life, where the same stunt earns millions of views.
On his YouTube page, Kevin Kohler, also known as the Backyard Scientist, admitted that he's "always wondered what would happen if you lined up 10 megaphones in a row and yell into them," so that's what he did. The "Bart Simpson Megaphone Challenge" is initially a dud — when they're in a row on a table, one megaphone makes as much noise as 10 megaphones to someone holding a sound-level meter about 100 feet away. But once the bullhorns are in a circle on the ground, well, it's much louder and much more annoying.
Unfortunately, there were no visible sound waves, and no parrots went crazy during the sonic experiment, but that's just as well for Kohler. Now he can prepare for his next challenge: why can't Moe find Amanda Hugginkiss?

Allow me to save you a few minutes and sum it up:
- Drinking Anheuser-Busch products means you are grounded but probably don't jive with authority figures, prone to "frat boy-like personalities" and generally suck at planning ahead.
- If you drink Heineken you are a pompous show off who is easily distracted by luxury items.
- Blue Moon drinkers are non-voting hippies and bad parents who too busy smoking the pot to realize Blue Moon is owned by Coors.
- And finally, if you like craft beers it just means you are horrible with deadlines, don't have a great sense of responsibility and you love to watch "The Office."
It's almost too easy to make jokes about the Bud and Bud Light findings. I mean, drinking Red White Dynamite makes you 42% more likely to drive a truck? Who knew? It also means you're more likely to use breath freshening strips to cover up the your Bud Breath...
I'm not sure I buy the assumption that Bud Light drinkers are easy to get along with. It's been my experience that if you aren't wearing a wicked sweet Ed Hardy shirt or in the same frat as a Bud Light drinker, then you probably won't get along very well.
I'd love take a dig at the Apple laptop using, Prius driving Blue Moon drinkers but I've gotta go choose what movie we're going to see at the theater tonight.

New Mexico man arrested on 2 sexual assault charges in Midland
Published 3:36 pm, Wednesday, October 2, 2013
A New Mexico man was arrested Tuesday in Midland for allegedly sexually assaulting two girls in his family, according to his arrest report.
Matthew R. Duran, 19, of Carlsbad, N.M., is being held on a $100,000 bond for two second-degree felony charges of sexual assault of a child.
A 14-year-old girl said a family member, Duran, had sexually assaulted her in the summer of 2012. She said she told another 17-year-old female family member. The older girl said Duran had sexually assaulted her when she was 16, according to court documents. The girls said the assault occurred in the suspect's vehicle.
The complaint was filed in Midland County, but the affidavit doesn't indicate where the alleged assaults occurred.
If convicted, Duran faces up to 20 years in prison for each felony charge.

District nurses have been given a vote of confidence by their patients after 95 per cent said they would recommend the service to others.
An independent report into district nursing provided by Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust also found that 98 per cent of patients said nurses treated them with dignity and respect.
The service was rated as either "excellent" or "good" by 94 per cent of patients, and 91 per cent said they had confidence in their district nurse.
Almost all of the 300 people who took part in the survey said nurses were friendly and helpful, the report found.
Mid Yorkshire, which runs Pontefract, Pinderfields and Dewsbury hospitals, has 200 district nurses treating more than 500 patients every day.
Most patients are house-bound, elderly or recovering from major surgery.
Joanne Schofield, the trust's locality manager, said treating patients in their homes helped save money by keeping them out of hospital beds.
She said: "Treatment at home gives patients normality and independence.
"We are also able to work with social services and other agencies.
"As we are visitors in their home, we can get to know patients and their families."
The survey was carried out by not-for-profit organisation The Picker Institute Europe, which campaigns to give patients a say in their care.
Some 72 per cent of people who filled in the survey had a permanent illness and nine per cent were bed-ridden.
The survey found that 94 per cent of patients found that nurses arrived on the day they were expected, although just 51 per cent said they saw the same district nurse most of the time.
Matron Christine Jackson said: "Community nursing is now recognised as being a vital component in shifting health care from hospital into community settings."

So I bought M-audio bx5a's(deluxes) & I have not got to take them back as they crackle, & gues what, it seems the M-audio bx-range have a major defect as well. My budget is not big & if I don't buy the alesis m1 mk2's then the only other one that is similar would be the fostex pm1, but I have heard any reports on it good or bad.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation allowing children to have more than two parents.
Last year, Brown vetoed a similar proposal, citing the potential for unintended consequences.
The new law authorizes a court to recognize more than two parents if endorsing fewer would be "detrimental" to the child. The bill that Brown vetoed last year would have provided judges the authority to identify multiple parents if doing so was "required in the best interest of the child."
State Sen. Mark Leno of San Francisco, noted that his measure applies only to families with more than two people who meet the state's definition of a parent. It does not apply to stepparents, grandparents, girlfriends or caretakers. In an interview, Leno said he expected the law to be used sparingly, such as when a child could be at risk of unnecessarily entering the foster care system.
"The bill in its essence merely allows for greater judicial discretion," Leno said. "It's really about the child and in the best interest of the child."
Last year's version of the bill attracted attention after some critics argued it would make it possible for children to have six or even eight parents. Supporters countered that the proposal was intended when a child is at risk of having too few parents.
Leno's measure grew out of an appellate court case involving a biological mother, her same-sex partner and a man who had an affair with the mother while she was temporarily separated from her female lover. In the 2011 case, the California Court of Appeal held that courts could not recognize more than two parents even if doing so would protect the child from harm.
Four other states and the District of Columbia have also recognized more than two parents.

What is a world wide rave and why would you want one
Also known as viral marketing this aspect of inbound marketing is powerful yet potentially scary as it doesn't follow the conventional rules as set down by traditional outbound marketing. There are four ways to get your market's attention; three of them aren't as cost-effective. To get your market's attention you have to earn it and one of the best ways to do that is…you guessed it… is the WWR.
A world wide rave is when people around the world are talking about you, your company and your products. It's when communities eagerly link to your stuff on the Web. It's when online buzz drives buyers to your virtual doorstep. It's when tons of fans visit your Website and your blog because they genuinely want to be there. ~ David Meerman Scott, World Wide Rave
One prime example of a WWR is when Universal Orlando Resort wanted to launch a new theme park. The forward-thinking VP of Marketing, instead of implementing a full-scale traditional advertising campaign, told just seven bloggers about it. In 24 hours the people that knew about it and were talking about it went from seven to 350 million people.
[embedit snippet="wwr"]
Here are Scott's rules of the rave:
1.NOBODY cares about your products (except you).
Regardless of how easily/efficiently/cost-effectively/fill-in-the-blank your product is people will not give a rat's ass about it. That is, until you show you care by how reach out to them(see number four).
2.NO coercion required and 3.LOSE control.
These two steps are the hardest to do since they require doing an about-face in traditional methods of marketing such as soliciting a name and valid email. Forsake these practices and allow easy, uncomplicated access to your product or service. This unconventional approach will help with point number five.
4.PUT DOWN roots.
Be in places where your market, your community, your tribe, if you will, are. Look for them on blogs, in forums, on twitter or other social media. Speak to your audience in language they understand, not yours.
5.CREATE triggers that encourage people to share.
Tell your story to an interested market. By effectively doing number four you can discover out-of-the-box ways to make outrageous triggers.
6.POINT the world to your (virtual) doorstep.
Once your WWR gains critical mass you will be indexed in the search engines, especially now after the Google algorithm updates that give more weight to social media indicators.
You can trigger a World Wide Rave too-just create something valuable that people want to share, and make it easy for them to do so.

Help. I have spyware/virus that I cant get rid of.
I have AVG 7.0 and Adaware 6.0 downloaded, but the other day I was doing some maintenance and I disabled the AVG and forgot to turn it back on. I have somehow aquired the "Elitetoolbar/search miracle" bug. I have tried to get rid of all the the files the usual way but they will not go away. I have run the adaware and it wont get rid of it. I did a google on this bug and I got several hits that were very complicated, if someone might know of a simple way to get rid of this I would really appreciate it.
go here and see if they have a fix http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/
you might go to download.com and get hijackthis and run it .. see if it helps you get the registry entry!
My machines all have sypbot S&D, spywareblaster, and ad-aware installed on them for spyware and malicious activeX control!
There is a program called PestPatrol that I have used successfully but it is a registered version that I use for unfucking peoples machines then I uninstall it !
Hope you get it off !
No luck with that link. Thanks though.
Thanks for the link. When I did the google search one of the sites that came up gave detailed instructions based on "hijackthis" information but I didnt know what that was for sure. I guess I will go try it.
i totally agree with the rx man as far as adaware and spybot - they're the bomb (or whatever is the word these days)...
i also use winpatrol, which seems to have stopped that kind of thing from happening on my pc...
I've found some pretty decent free online scans that have been good.
On top of Grisoft AVG, zonealarm, winpatrol and the spyware stuff.
Have you tried running spybot?
It's free and usually gets the stuff adaware misses (and vice-versa). It is my understanding that between Spybot and Adaware, you'll take care of most of those kinds of programs.
You need to run CWShedder.
I'm pretty sure that's a CWS variant.
I tell you what guys....I got rid of the sucker somehow and I dont honestly know what I did exactly. I went into some sort of file and manually deleted it and and then did a quick system restore (something i couldnt do previously) and POOF...its gone. I am still double./triple checking to make sure its gone but I have been online/connected for several hours now with NO problems whatsoever. Thanks for your tips guys, its really appreciated.

After getting home from the Christmas Eve Candlelight service, we let the kids open one present. They all opened pj's from Grandma and Grandpa. Paige got ballerina pj's (complete with tutu), and Charlie got Star Wars pj's. They were both elated and couldn't wait to go to sleep in them! Anna got cute Bunny Slipper pj's. She too couldn't wait to go to sleep...though she didn't really care what she was wearing. =) Christmas morning we were greeted with lots and lots of presents from Santa! Everyone in our house somehow made it on to the 'Nice' list this year.
Paige got the Pink and Purple bike that she asked Santa for.
Charlie, keeping with the Star Wars theme, got a double-sided lightsaber (Darth Maul's). He also got a rockin' slot car race track. I will have to post pictures and videos of that later. It is really cool. Anna was very excited on Christmas morning. Finally she got to touch and crinkle all that paper! From Santa, Anna got these really cool climbing mats.
Anna also got this cute Sight and Sounds stage toy from Aunt Heather. Anna is loving staring at herself in the mirror and bouncing along to the music. Jonathan, Mr. Geocache, got a bunch of geocaching gear from Santa. And I was blessed with way more than I deserve.
After presents at our house, we went up to Jonathan's parents' house for lots and lots of food, more presents and fun games.

A San Francisco company is trying to make it easier for family members to keep tabs on their elderly loved ones without being too intrusive.
Lively produces sensors that track the movements of their elderly customers' homes and automatically notifies family members if things are amiss. The sensors can be placed on cupboards, pillboxes, doors and more to deliver a comprehensive awareness of activity, without invading privacy or imposing the burden of wearing anything. Its built-in cellular service means no Internet access or phone line is required; family members receive alerts and reminders by e-mail and text.
The device blends into the background for Lively customer Patrick Guerra's 87-year-old mother, Ida. Both say they barely notice the Lively sensors that have been in place for months. Its simple structure is a huge advantage for Ida who didn't want to use her cell phone because she found it too cumbersome to operate.
"There was no hesitancy at all," she said of using the Lively sensors. "My son said it would help him oversee my well-being, and that is good. All I do is go about my regular activities and it provides information to my son's computer. I do not have to do anything else."
"The fact that the device is simple enough to just plug into an outlet without Wi-Fi needed makes sense for older Americans," said David Glickman, chief operating officer of Lively.
Lack of access
Only 62 percent of Americans over the age of 65 report having a computer at home, and only 45 percent have Internet access, according to a May study by the U.S. Census Bureau. One of Lively's selling points is that it doesn't rely on broadband.
ABI Research's 2012 study predicted that the market for monitoring devices for seniors is expected to grow to more than 36 million units in 2017, up from under 3 million in 2011.
Jonathan Collins, principal analyst at ABI Research and author of the 2012 report, said more family members and caregivers want to buy cloud-based systems to extend relatives' care. The lower cost of network connections and adoption of wearable sensors has contributed to this growth, along with an aging population that wants to remain independent, he said.
'Feeling loved'
Laura Carstensen, a founding director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, serves on Lively's board. She said new technologies that offer remote monitoring are hitting the market every day, but most of these systems are overkill. For example, devices that take video footage of a senior can feel intrusive.
"It's not just about feeling safe, it's about feeling loved," she said. "Most people don't want or need to have their blood pressures monitored every time they sit down or urine analyzed on a regular basis. Lively offers a light touch system that uses cutting-edge technologies to provide just enough information to loved ones to let people know that everything is normal."Read Full Article
"Good technology is not just tech for tech's sake," said Glickman, who founded Lively in 2012 with Iggy Fanlo and Keith Dutton. "There's a 'surprise and delight' factor, without any tech infrastructure knowledge needed by elders."
Glickman, whose father uses the device, recounted a time when he received a notification that his father hadn't taken his medication, so he called to find out if everything was OK.
"What he realized, after looking at the dashboard, is that he did take his medication - at 1:30 a.m.," he said. "Ever since, he's been much more cognizant of his own sleeping patterns and gets to bed now much closer to 11 p.m."
Clara Berridge, a doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley's School of Social Welfare whose dissertation is on home sensors, said Lively - and other products like it - face some challenges. For example, she said, it could cause family members to worry more or become hyper vigilant, despite the product's intention to provide peace of mind.
False alerts?
"For instance, should they get notice of unusual activity but are unable to get in touch with their family member right away," she wrote in an e-mail. "There is the likelihood of 'false alerts.' "
While Lively hopes to keep family members updated by using the sensors, they also want to help them feel connected through their app, LivelyGram, which allows family members to upload photos. Twice a month, the company compiles up to eight of the photos, prints them and mails them to senior customers.
A 2010 article by psychologists at Brigham Young University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that social connection leads to a 50 percent increased chance of longevity. A 2013 study by University College London found that social isolation was associated with increased mortality.
Guerra said he initially didn't think LivelyGram was an essential component of the service, but it turned out to be a lot more beneficial for him and his mother than he thought it would.
"The subtle thing about older folks is they can focus on things very narrowly like their next meal," he said. "It's much more enjoyable to talk about our vacation, so she can share in that, since she has physical limitations to traveling. It (LivelyGram) is able to engage her."

Holidays are coming :)
30 Nov 2012
Streets are covered in snow, cats are looking for warmer places to sleep, so they say The End Is Near and that means the winter is coming and bringing the New Year along :)
I am happy to announce the next month: the month of happiness and presents! It will be dedicated to Advent! Every participant of the event got the date when they should open their present and make a post about it. I hope all the presents arrived (or will arrive) in time and everything will be alright =)
O-ho-ho! This time we're going to see 3 Advent-related posts a day!
Special thanks to organizers of the event — Tanya and Lulapa! It would've been impossible without your efforts :)
But the news won't end with this :P
Especially for this day we bring another update — blog post tags!
We'll start with a limited list of tags ("advent" tag included) and will see how it goes. If you'd like to add something to the list PM me and we'll be happy to check your suggestion.
Look at the tag list
new releases
adult only
lots of pictures
otaku life
anime stuff
Japanese culture
Japanese language
I'm raging
creative art
To tell the truth the tag feature looks a bit clumsy at the monent and it blends a little with our three categories of posts and the sale banner, but we decided to leave it as it is for now and make some corrections later (maybe even in 2012).
By the way you can as well tag all your old posts (and it will be great if you do so!)
Have a nice day! :)

"Get a Clue @ Your Library" starts this week. Kids can visit any public library to register for the summer reading program and pick up a reading game card. They put their name in the prize fishbowl every day to be eligible for weekly prize drawings. Chapter book and young adult readers. Here are a few titles to get you started.
Sound off on the important issues at
"The Mystery of the Frozen Brains," and "The Mystery of the Graffiti Ghoul," by Marty Chan. These are the first two installments in a new series about Marty's adventures growing up in a small town in Canada. As the only Chinese-Canadian kid in town, Mary gets harassed by both the French-Canadians and the English-Canadians, but is learning to hold his own. In "Frozen Brains," Marty's convinced he and his family are from outer space - it's even worse than being Chinese. And, in "Graffiti Ghoul," Marty's friend Remi has been accused of vandalizing the school. Going undercover, Marty and Remi try to find the real Ghoul before Remi gets suspended - or worse.
"Hannah West in Deep Water," and "Hannah West in the Belltown Towers," by Linda Johns. This new series features 12 year-old Hannah, an aspiring detective and dog-sitter extraordinaire, in Seattle. Hannah and her adoptive mother don't have their own house, instead, they spend weeks at a time house-sitting and dog-sitting for others, which means Hannah keeps landing in the middle of mysteries. In "Deep Water," Hannah is excited to be living on a houseboat in Portage Bay - until she sees someone dumping something strange in the bay. Is that what's killing the fish? And, in "Belltown Towers," someone is stealing paintings destined to be auctioned off for a local charity. Can Hannah and her best friend Lily find the thief before the auction is ruined?
"Grooves: a kind of mystery," by Kevin Brockmeier. Dwayne Ruggles is so excited by his science teacher's lesson on the amplification of sound that he starts listening to everything with his homemade loudspeaker and is astounded to hear a message in his jeans. When his friends Kevin and Emily get involved, Dwayne finds that some potato chips, too, carry a message: "Please. You must help us." Both the jeans and the potato chips are made by the same company, and when the kids start investigating, they make some disturbing discoveries about the wealthy entrepreneur who owns the factory. Absurd and absorbing.
"The Wright 3," by Blue Balliett. In this follow-up to the very popular "Chasing Vermeer," Petra and Calder are joined by Calder's former friend Tommy in looking for clues to the eerie events at Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House. The famous architectural masterpiece is about to be torn down, and the kids' sixth grade is trying to stop it, but the house isn't cooperating. All of a sudden, people report hearing ghostly voices and seeing things move that shouldn't (like the roof.). Can the three stop squabbling over who is whose friend and use their considerable (and varied) talents to solve the mystery and save the house as a team?
"Looking for Alaska," by John Green. Intriguing chapter titles "136 Days Before," and, "136 Days After" bracket the story of Miles Halter and his friends at the exclusive Culver Creek Boarding School. Miles has always been too smart for his peers at home, but when he arrives at his new school, he quickly finds himself accepted by a group of practical jokers headed by his roommate the Colonel and the lovely, but self-destructive, Alaska Young. Alaska's presence and absence are the crux of the story, and there are no happy endings, just the harsh knowledge that not all mistakes in life can be made good.
"13 Little Blue Envelopes," by Maureen Johnson. Ginny's favorite, unpredictable, artist aunt has passed away, leaving 17-year-old Ginny $1,000 cash and a letter telling her to buy a passport and a one-way ticket to London. Another package contains 13 blue envelopes - an international scavenger hunt- as Ginny opens each in turn, she's given a new task (adopting a starving artist is one) that brings her closer to Peg than ever before. Lightly romantic, definitely thought-provoking; everyone needs an Aunt Peg in her or his life.
As always, placing a hold on our material is easy: Call the Juneau Public Library at 586-5249, or go online to www.juneau.org/library.

It's back to the dark side for Kim Kardashian.
The 33-year-old has ditched her blond strands in favor of her original dark 'do and revealed the hair transformation on Instagram on Saturday.
The shot, which Kim titled "I'm back," was reminiscent of some of her early signature selfies. In the snap, she's eyeing the camera seductively and has her nude-colored lips sculpted into the perfect duckface pout. Her new chestnut, ombre tresses are styled into face-framing waves and highlight her brown eyes.
After five months of rocking blond hair, it's nice to see Kanye West's leading lady looking like her old self. The new color, which isn't as dark as her hair once was, has several honey-colored highlights that give her a warm glow.
During a Twitter conversation on Saturday, a fan asked the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star if she would ever go back to being a blonde. Kim replied, "Absolutely, I loved it."
While she might be considering heading back to a lighter shade, so far the reaction to her new hair color seems positive on Twitter.
Kim Kardashian finally dyed her hair! Not as dark as before, but at least she isnt blonde anymore! pic.twitter.com/psfHaLzVLa— Δ KOL Δ (@0mgJadesy) February 2, 2014
Kim Kardashian slays it again with hair color change. @KimKardashian pic.twitter.com/LIRJVVsDCd— Team Kanye & Kim (@TeamKanyeKim) February 2, 2014
Now the only burning question we have is, will she keep the darker style for her rumored summer wedding in Paris?

Victims of the Birmingham pub bombings have reacted furiously to claims secret letters were sent to two people promising them they would not be prosecuted.
Paddy Hill, who received a life sentence for the atrocity but whose conviction was later quashed, said two Provos were told they would not face court for the 1974 attacks which killed 21 people.
His allegations are to be raised with the West Midlands chief constable by the local police commissioner.
Julie Hambleton, whose sister Maxine died in the blast, said: "We're incandescent with frustration, anger and more grief.
"It is almost as if we are reliving the horrors of losing our sister all over again and being slapped in the face."
Letters sent to around 200 republican OTRs informed them they were not wanted by police.
The Government insisted these did not constitute immunity from prosecution.
The NIO scheme emerged during the collapse of the trial of Hyde Park bomb suspect John Downey after officers sent him one of the documents even though he was sought by the Metropolitan Police.
Mr Hill told the Birmingham Mail: "I think it was about 1980 that I was told about the IRA claiming five people were involved in the Birmingham bombings. I understand two have since died. They never named anyone.
"I understand two of these men received letters from the British government telling them they would not be prosecuted. One of the five has not received such a letter.
"Many people are sweating, not knowing what's going on. It might prevent further admissions of guilt because they will now wonder if they will face prosecution."
The Assembly was thrown into crisis by the Downey revelations last Tuesday. The 62-year-old, from Co Donegal, had pleaded not guilty to the murder of four soldiers who died in the 1982 blast on July 20, 1982.
Mr Downey was detained in May last year and spent nine months in custody.
But he walked free after an Old Bailey judge stopped the case because a letter had been wrongly sent to him from the Government prior to his arrest saying he was not wanted by the police.
The message, which gave no guarantee that future evidence would not emerge linking him to Hyde Park, was sent as part of talks between Sinn Fein and Tony Blair's administration.
Ms Hambleton also told Radio Ulster "the letters have made an absolute mockery of our justice system".
First Minister Peter Robinson threatened to resign over the issue but withdrew the vow after a judge-led inquiry was ordered.
Mr Hill was wrongly jailed for the bombings in 1975 along with Hugh Callaghan, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker.

The C-9 Comp is the larger version of Hi-Points 9mm handgun, one major difference from the C-9 or C-9 Compact, is that it is "Compensated", meaning it has a specially designed "compensator" attached to the end of the barrel.
The compensator works by forcing some of the hot gases, escaping behind the bullet, to go upward through specially drilled holes in the top of the compensator. The escaping gases push the end of the gun downward; helping to eliminate some of the upward motion caused by the natural recoil of the gun. The Compensator has also been machined on the underside to accept laser sights, or "tactical lights" for better target identification in a self defense, or tactical situation.
Another difference between the C-9 and C-9 Comp. is the barrel length. Its 4" barrel is 1/2" longer than its sister weapon's providing for better accuracy and balance. The compensator and extra bulk push it up on the scales a bit as well. Weighing in at 35 oz., it is fully 10 oz. heavier than the new model, and 6 oz. heavier than the older model of the C-9 Compact.

Sharon, it's great to be featured here on your Wild Card Friday. I think your readers will have fun with the 'Caption This' photo I'm sending in. This photo was taken when we visited the farm section of Ähtäri zoo during our time in Finland in 2012. I'll be giving away an eBook of Helsinki Sunrise to the funniest caption.
OK guys, use the comment link below to caption away!
He needed the island to himself. So did she.
Three weeks alone at a friend's summer cottage on a Finnish lake to fast and pray. That was Adam Carter's plan. But sometimes plans go awry.
On an impromptu trip to her family's secluded summer cottage, the last thing Eveliina Mikkola expected to find was a missionary from the other side of the world—in her sauna.
Determined to stay, Eveliina will do whatever it takes—from shortcrust pastry to shorts—to send the man of God packing. This island's too small for them both.
Adam Carter, however, is not about to leave.
Will he be able to resist her temptations?
Can she withstand his prayers?
Helsinki Sunrise is available to purchase from Pelican Book Group, Christianbook.com, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

I know, but that's the kind of error message I get at that point too, a "not authorized to view this page" or something like that as well.

The red flashy thingamajig is your snowball aimer. So when you push down the spacebar, it will move from left to the right. You can't go back, so the trick is to time it when the skiier will be underneath you. When you let go of the spacebar, he throws the snowball.
You go down to get the clock which will give you more time. And you have to run in the cave if the professor comes out.
Hope that helps.
You've gotta hustle if you want to earn a dollar. - Boston Rob
Thanks SV. I meant more of that type, as this version made me bonkers because I couldn't figure out how to make it let me solve the puzzle, so you don't get a bonus for figuring it out. I know there are other simliar ones, but the names escape me. *must go to more bars to check out the video game offerings - ok, maybe not*
Help fight cystic fibrosis or just learn more about it at the cystic fibrosis foundation website, www.cff.org and help give my little guy a better future.
I didn't know I could move the red aimer and was just waiting for skiers to come close to the cliff. No wonder I couldn't hit any.
I found out that for each skier I search in the snow and punch, I could get 50 or 75 points. That's a lot more than throwing snowballs at them but I got run over by other skiers and then the professor came out.
This game is tough, my best score is 335.
I didn't know about the punching! I thought you were being frustrated or something.
You've gotta hustle if you want to earn a dollar. - Boston Rob
To play the arcade games, you have to either post a few times or be a member for a few days.
MotherSister, yours might be a permissions problem with being the Poster of the Week - I'll check into that one.
Something is definitely wonky with Space Invaders. Either just for me or in general. It just ends my game when I get in the 20K-30K range, no matter how many men I have left. Very frustrating. If anyone else had that issue and figured it out, please let me know what I'm doing. I didn't have this problem last week.

Born in 1924 in Hamburg, Germany, Herbert John Spiro immigrated to the United States in 1938 where he would become a noted educator in political science, an ambassador to Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon, and a candidate for public office. Spiro became a naturalized citizen at the age of 20, attended San Antonio Jr. College from 1942-1943, served in the Army during World War II earning a purple heart and two bronze star medals. In 1945-1946 he was an administrative assistant for the U.S. War Dept. in Vienna, Austria. After the war, Spiro continued his education at Harvard where he graduated summa cum laude and went on to earn a Masters degree in 1950 and a Ph.D in 1953. Spiro spent over a decade as a member of the faculty at Harvard (1950-1961), and taught political science at Amherst College (1961-1965) and the University of Pennsylvania (1965-1973), in addition to the Free University of Berlin and the University of Texas. In total, he published thirteen books on government including: Government by Constitution, Word Politics: The Global System and Responsibility and Government.
During the 1970s, Spiro was active in national and international government. From 1970-1975, he was a senior member of the policy planning staff at the U.S. State Department, and under President Ford became ambassador to Equatorial Guinea (1975-1976), and Cameroon (1975-1977). Spiro ran unsuccessfully on the Republican ticket for the Texas House of Representatives in 1991, the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992 and 1994, and the U.S. Senate in 1993. He died in San Antonio in 2010, and was buried at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
