Part 3 of on online security after having my Google accounts stolen by a hacker…and I'm a computer expert!
Part 1 here – Basic protection from the 'basic' hacker, viruses and spyware.
Part 2 here – Safe passwords and 2 level verification.
Now it's time to get serious. Parts 1 and 2 will protect you from your neighborhood hacker, the teen next store and my 13 year old son (who keeps telling me he "almost" got into his friend's Facebook or Gmail account). But I was hacked with a secure connection, good password, virus and spyware protection. That level of attack requires a more serious level of protection. Unfortunately that means this article will be more technical than the past ones (though I'll do my best to keep it understandable to the average person – no guarantees though).
Right before writing this article I was contacted by someone else in my neighborhood who was hacked the same way by the same hacker!
So here we go…
When you log in to Google or Facebook, Google or Facebook injects a marker into your browser noting that you're authorized. (This is called a browser cookie.) Each one of these markers or cookies has an expiration date and time. Many web sites set an expiration time of 5 or 10 minutes. Meaning, if you don't do something on the site every 5 or 10 minutes, your authorization expires and you have to log in again.
Having to log in again and again is a pain, so Google and Facebook set your authorization time to days or weeks. This is why you can disconnect from the Internet while leaving Facebook or Gmail up in your browser and have it still work after you reconnect. Great for your convenience but bad for security (which is why your bank or stock trading account never does this).
If I can steal that cookie from your browser I can access your Google or Facebook and change your passwords to take control. Part 1 of these articles described a main way to do this is by "listening in" to your computer's conversation with Google or Facebook and described how to turn on a secure (encrypted – SSL) connection to prevent this (and turn on security for your home network to prevent a local listener). That's the attack method of your neighborhood hacker. The professional hacker has other ways to grab the same marker/cookie.
If you're in Gmail in one browser tab and open another browser tab for another Google product (like Reader or Plus or Documents), you don't have to log in again. This is because any tab that identifies itself as Google is allowed to check the marker/cookie to see if you're logged in.
So a hacker can steal your logged-in marker/cookie IF you go to a web site that has a hidden program (a 'script') that; pretends to be Google OR breaks through the browser security to steal information from another tab. These things aren't supposed to be possible…except sometimes they are. This is called a Cross Site Attack (cross site scripting attack, cross site reference attack, and more, also called XSS).
There's a second method a professional hacker can use that doesn't defeat security, it tricks you into doing it for him. Web sites are allowed to pop-up windows and open new tabs in your browser. This is normal behavior if you click a link on many sites. A hack attack site may open a tab or pop up a window that looks like Google or Facebook without you doing anything or just passing over part of the page, asking for your login information. Since you've got Google or Facebook open in another tab, you figure it simply timed-out and needs you to re-login. So you enter your info, the pop-up or tab disappears and everything seems normal…except you just gave away your login information to the hacker. This is called ClickJacking.
Here's three ways to prevent this type of attack:
1. Do NOT open additional tabs and go to ANY OTHER web site while logged into Google or Facebook. Only go to Google or Facebook sites (NOT Facebook apps).
2. Use the Firefox browser with the NoScripts add-on. This add-on specifically protects against Cross Site and ClickJacking attacks.
3. Use one browser (like Chrome) for Google and Facebook, and another browser of a different type (like Firefox) for all other web browsing.
You can combine 2 and 3 for additional security. Plus, crank up your Google and Facebook by adding these settings… First for Google…
Turn OFF multiple-sign-on. Prevents someone logging in to your account from somewhere else (in theory) while you are logged in.
Check what other applications are allowed to access your account. This is another door to your account. It's normally used if you go to a site that allows you to "Sign On with Google". DON'T DO IT (convenient but insecure).
As you can see from below, I allow the site called Plaxo to use my Google login information. No others (and I'll be removing that one).
Now for Facebook…
Login Notifications – sends you an email if someone logs in to your account from another computer. Lets you know your being hacked! Activate it!
Login Approvals – that's the 2-level authorization that sends a code to your phone if it gets a login from a computer that hasn't logged into your account before. Activate it!
Recognized Devices – these are the computers that Facebook recognizes as allowed to access your account. Add your home computer, office computer and anywhere else you log in from frequently.
Active Sessions – this says where you are logged in from right now. As I said above, a login authorization can last weeks or a month, so you may see places you were in the recent past. IF YOU SEE SOMEWHERE that you weren't or that's not you, close the session.
Your online information and accounts ARE NOT SECURE. Even with all of this, there is the possibility that you WILL BE HACKED at some point. Here's easy measures you should take for that eventuality:
For Gmail…
Export your contacts -
Then Export Contacts on the More drop-down.
Backing up your email archive is harder. Here's a site that has instructions on how to do it…which is basically start up another email account and use the IMAP feature to get your emails.
If you use Google Docs or Blogger, set up a backup account that you don't normally use and give it administrative access (for Blogger) and Share/Edit rights (for Google Docs).
For the real technie, a good options to guarantee control of your accounts is to buy a domain, use domain-lock transfer protection, set up either forwarding emails or get low price hosting and make your email accounts, and then use Gmail (assuming it's your favorite email client) to POP3 pull the emails from there. Since your domain is locked and hosting operates by personal info, even if it's briefly hacked a phone call will get it back.
Getting back your stolen Google account is HARD. Google has a recovery form that requires you to be logged into another Google account and then provide a LONG LIST of detailed information about your Google account. This information includes…
What Google products you use (Gmail, Youtube, Blogger, etc). WHEN you started to use each one (month, year). In Gmail, what your Labels are, who are the top 5 email-addresses you email, did you create your account by invite, who invited you, when did you create your account (day, month, year). What was the recovery email address, what were the recovery phone numbers (if using 2-step verification).
IF you get all of those correct, you will get a quick automated response. IF NOT, you're up for human review which may take anywhere from 1 day to 1 MONTH. There is no help desk, no help email, no help phone number. There is not even any way to PAY to get a human involved.
If you can't get enough information correct, you're only choice is to keep trying until you get more correct or to beg the help-volunteers on the Google help forums (help.google.com). The assistance of about 50 readers posting on my help request in the help forum was what got Google's attention to help me.
Be prepared. Secure everything you can. Backup everything you can. Prepare backup access. And gather all the info necessary in case you're hacked.
Don't make my mistake. It can and does happen, even to those (like me) who think they know better.

Hi All,
Ok I have question here before and it must have bamboozled everyone as no one had even an idea of how to go about this, so I will try am simplify it:
I have one MC of a circle that spins clockwise or counterclockwise depending upon the mous position, this is achieved using a startDrag function.
What I am trying to do is have a series of buttons that when pressed will stop the drap function and rotate the circle to a given point, for instance 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees and 360 degrees. When the mouse is moved off the button th circle resumes its startDrag rotations.
The code attached to a 'dragcontroller' MC is
xPos = getProperty("_root.nav1.dragControl", _x);
xPos = xPos +(10);
setProperty("_root.nav1.nav", _rotation, getProperty("_root.nav1.nav", _rotation)+(xPos/25));
In addition the following code is attached to the first frame of the movie:
startDrag(_root.nav1.dragControl, true);
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
I have attached asimplified FLA for any that think they can crack this one.
I am having a nightmare so could someone at least give me some suggestions.
Thanks to all who answer in advance

The steel grain silo is historically known for its resilience and functionality—not for its architectural beauty. But clever architects are repurposing the cylindrical buildings into affordable housing and stunning contemporary homes. With enough elbow grease and vision, the clunky metal structures can be transformed into surprisingly comfortable and modern residences. Need proof? We've rounded up six of our favorite silo homes from around the world.
1. Midcentury grain silo home in Phoenix, Arizona
Our favorite grain silo conversion project is this beautiful silo tiny home completed by architect Christoph Kaiser. Kaiser purchased the mid-century structure from a Kansas farmer and transported it to downtown Phoenix, where he reassembled and renovated the silo into a cozy 340-square-foot dwelling. To keep costs low, the quirky round home was outfitted with reclaimed materials and custom designs for a gorgeous interior.
2. Gruene Homestead Inn in New Braunfels, Texas
If you'd like to stay in a converted silo home but don't want to commit to the purchase, consider the Gruene Homestead Inn that offers temporary lodgings within a 1940s grain silo. Located in New Braunfels, Texas, the silo home features a one-bedroom loft apartment that can accommodate two adults and two children. For a southern touch, the designers combined the silo with an outdoor porch and decorated the gabled awning with a Texan star.
3. The Silo in Copenhagen
Over in Copenhagen, the city's tallest historic grain silo is getting a massive makeover into luxury housing. Danish firm COBE unveiled designs for a 17-story silo conversion that'll feature 40 ultra-modern apartments. Slated for completion by the end of this year, "The Silo" will create a new kind of landmark for the city as the tallest adaptive reuse building in Nordhavn.
4. Silo Point Condos in Baltimore, Maryland
Thirteen grain silos and a grain tower were converted into the Silo Point luxury condominiums in Baltimore city. Led by Turner Development, the adaptive reuse project turned the abandoned Baltimore & Ohio Railroad grain elevator—once the largest in the world—into a modern city landmark and mixed-use space. The silos' industrial past is celebrated in the design, from the materials palette to the landscaping that harkens to its agricultural past.
5. Grünerløkka Studenthus in Oslo
Luxury condominiums aren't the only type of housing to come out of the renovation of multiple grain silos. In Oslo, HRTB Arkitekter AS transformed an old grain elevator with 21 grain silos into a 19-story student housing complex called Grünerløkka Studenthus. The architect spruced up the rather drab and industrial concrete exterior with colorful glass for a touch of whimsy.
6. Sil(o)houette in Løgten
C. F. Møller Architects collaborated with Christian Carlsen Arkitektfirma to turn a large silo in the Danish town of Løgten into a "rural high-rise" with 21 high-end apartments. The architects left part of the silo's body visible on the side of the new apartment complex to preserve a visual connection to the past, and built the protruding, colorful apartments around the steel structure.

Since A was three months old, we've read to her. We've always been a family of book lovers and when we moved house in 2015, we had more books in boxes than kitchen supplies. A is no different and she hasbooks to choose from every night to read before bed. And every single night, we read at least five books without fail. It's a tradition I never see us stopping, even when Little Bean comes along who I'm sure will get in on the act quick enough. In fact, she already has a little library of books started of her own. Personally, I believe that reading books from a young age is so important for so many reasons.
Why Reading?
Not only does it encourage communication skills and verbal skills from an early age, it's also one of the most beautiful ways to bond with your children. It's educational and encourages your baby and toddler to learn their numbers, letters, shapes and gives them information about the world around.
A's speech has always been incredible. She's never used baby words and her pronunciation is excellent. I have always put this down to the fact that she has had so many books read to her. She already recognises her letters and numbers and surprises me everyday with how much she knows and understands.
And yes, she may have a ridiculous amount of books at her fingertips and yes, she may choose to read the same five books over and over again but that's perfect because repitition is important in her world.
I sincerely hope that as she gets older, starts Montessori and moves on to Primary School, that she takes that love of books with her everywhere she goes. Luckily, reading is widely encouraged in our schools and with the help of organisations like Children's Books Ireland, B and I can ensure that her love of reading stays apart of her personality for years to come.
Children's Books Ireland
In fact, Children's Books Ireland (CBI) is 20 years old this year and they have delivered so much attention and love to the joy of reading for children that I believe they are worth telling you about. If you haven't heard of them before, CBI are the national children's books organisation in Ireland encouraging our children to engage with reading and books.
CBI Mission and Vision
Our vision is an Ireland in which books are central to every child's life and where meaningful engagement with books is supported by passionate and informed adults in families, schools, libraries and communities all across the island.
We strive to make books central to every child's life on the island of Ireland through developing audiences for children's books, supporting and celebrating excellent authors and illustrators.
CBI Book Clinics
They run Book Clinics at various festivals and events around the country which is such a fantastic idea one I am hoping to scout out for A this summer. "Parents and children are invited to drop in for an informal consultation with one of Children's Books Ireland's friendly panel of Book Doctors, who are ready to offer the best advice for the young readers in your family. When the Book Doctor is ready to see a patient, the consultation begins with some questions about books the young reader previously enjoyed as well as activities, movies, tv shows and video games they enjoy. This lets the Book Doctor know a little bit more about the patient so she can write a book prescription, which is a personalisted list of books recommended for the individual patient. Every patient and their family leave with a Reading Passport containing this book prescription to take to the to their local library or bookshop to have it filled!"
CBI Reading Campaign
CBI run a reading campaign in September every year which aims "to instill a love of reading for pleasure in young people across the country." The reading campaign is aligned with our public libraries so everyone can easily get involved. In fact, CBI make it even easier for us as they outline all of the upcoming events on their website so there's no reason for us to miss out.
You can find CBI on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
You can become a member of Children's Books Ireland with Individual and Professional Membership Rates with varying benefits ranging from receiving three issues of Inis magazine, the Inis Reading Guide, reduced rate entry to the CBI Conference and access to CBI's online resources.
Personally, I highly recommend signing up as a member if you are a parent, if you home school, are a children's writer, a librarian or a teacher as the resources CBI offer to you are second to none.
Check out their website for more information on membership.
*** This is a collaborative post however all opinions are mine. I highly encourage and endorse Children's Books Ireland as a positive educator and promoter of reading in Ireland. ***

More than a quarter (27%) of consumers who've interacted with debt collectors said they felt threatened by the most recent creditor or collector who contacted them, according to a new survey from the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB).
That may not sound surprising, given debt collectors don't have a reputation for being friendly, but it's a noteworthy discovery. It's illegal for debt collectors to harass or verbally abuse consumers.
Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a debt collector cannot "harass, oppress or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt." That includes things like threatening to hurt or arrest you, using obscene or profane language or using repeated phone calls to annoy you. They're also not allowed to lie to consumers. The CFPB's survey results indicate those rules often aren't being followed.
A bit more on that data: It's based on survey responses from 2,132 consumers the bureau contacted between December 2014 and March 2015. Of those respondents, 32% (682 people) said they had been contacted by a creditor or debt collector about paying a debt within the last year. The results are weighed to represent "the broader population of consumers with credit records."
It's worth noting that consumers saying they felt threatened doesn't mean the collector they talked to broke the law. Still, 27% is a high occurrence rate of potentially illegal behavior. Additionally, reports of threatening debt collectors wasn't the only issue raised by survey respondents: About 40% of consumers who'd been contacted about debts in collection said they asked a collector or creditor to stop contacting them and, of those consumers, about 75% said the collector continued to contact them anyway. Legally, a debt collector must stop contacting a consumer if that consumer sent a written request to the collector to stop communicating with them, with a few exceptions.
ACA International, the largest trade group for the debt collection industry, took issue with the survey's methodology, among other things, in a statement it issued denouncing the CFPB's report.
"This represents only one eight-millionth of 1% of the approximately 77 million Americans with debts in collections," the statement says, referencing the 682 survey respondents who reported being contacted by a debt collector. "Despite the calculated, incendiary message that the CFPB public relations machine released, the insights from the survey are not necessarily representative of consumers' actual experiences and do not come anywhere close to rising to a level that can be extrapolated across tens of millions of consumers."
If you ever find yourself dealing with a debt collector, it's a good idea to take the time to familiarize yourself with your rights and the rules debt collectors have to follow when contacting you. You can report any issues you encounter to your state's attorney general, the Federal Trade Commission or the CFPB, and you'll want to keep an eye on your credit reports and scores to see how the collection account affects you. (You can get a free summary of your credit report, with updates every 14 days, on Credit.com.)

text: Community Palliative Care Team Our Community Palliative Care Team is made up of Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) with extensive experience and knowledge of palliative care. There are a number of CNS at the Hospice and alongside your GP and District Nursing team will be involved in your care and support. The CNS will regularly liaise with your GP and others involved in your care. He or she will have specialist knowledge about medications and therapies as well as information and advice about many issues which might arise for you. Your CNS is also the person who can arrange for you to take advantage of other Hospice services, such as the Day Hospice. The Community Palliative Care Team is available from Monday to Friday from 9.00am until 5.00pm. Additionally, there is one member of the Team on duty on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 9.00am until 5.00pm. Outside these hours, one CNS is on-call for specialist palliative care advice which cannot wait until normal working hours. This is not an emergency service and does not replace the service provided by your GP (or out-of-hours provider) or your District Nursing Team. Sometimes the reasons patients are referred to the Community Palliative Care Team get resolved. For example symptoms may no longer be a problem or there may be an overall improvement with the medical condition. In such situations patients may be discharged from the Community Palliative Care Team. Patients can, of course be re – referred should they again require the specialist care provided by the team.

Simple but effective idea for all tesla models.
Simple but effective idea for all tesla models.
That's a great idea! Not only mud or sand, but snow too! I've done enough pushing in Canada during the winter.
So long as the transmission can take the stress of switching the wheel rotation direction, and wouldn't run over the people trying to push it out.
I think this is the most interesting idea I have seen posted on these forums yet. I don't know if the drive train allows rapid and precise enough control, but that's some very clever thinking right there.
Noah, I think the concept is that nobody would need to do any pushing. For safety, the rocking algorithm should stop the car if it unsticks backwards. It might even be possible to maximize the chance of the unstick happenning on the forward swing.
Snow for sure. The ideal is to make a car that never gets stuck, but since that will never happen, Jared's idea is worth exploring further. Perhaps it could be introduced with the pick-up or an eventual jeep, models their owners are more likely to drive in challenging conditions (or at least goes the dream). If proven successful, all models could benefit, especially if free to replicate because it is software.
But of course it will need safeguards to make sure it is not mistakenly activated while cruising down the highway.
Are you jealous that, despite your "name", you didn't come up with this? ;) LOL
Haha, great one Brian!
Expected a wind turbine/haul a generator/solar panels thread.
Entered thread.
Better than expected.
Seriously though, good idea. I wonder if the computer can be made to understand when the car has been freed of the mud/snow/whatever and gained traction, or I suppose, it could be as simple as cutting of the "mud mode" as soon as the driver presses either pedal.
I think it should be a "Get unstuck" feature accessible on the screen with a PIN (like the Roadster has to start it), and of course only when the car is parked or has very low speed. The way it could work is that the go pedal would then work a little differently: instead of forward and regen it would be forward and backward when foot is lifted from pedal. Also, the speed responsiveness should be greatly reduced compared to normal mode, providing only torque and acting like a lower gear. We all know that flooring it and spinning the wheels is not helpful in getting unstuck, and only beginners do that... at least on ice that's true. The "Get unstuck" feature will immediately and automatically be replaced by normal driving once the break pedal is pressed. Only problem is the great danger if someone forgets to press the break pedal and the car backs up uncontrolled, possibly getting stuck again (the funny scenario) or crushing someone who was pushing (the tragic scenario). I think the solution is that the Get Unstuck feature should disengage not with the break pedal but simply when foot is taken off the go pedal. So there would be the ability to slowly rock forward by pressing, then rock backward by releasing somewhat, and eventually get out of the Get Unstuck mode when foot comes off the go pedal. Whatever might come out of this, the engineers must make sure that the feature is 100% safe and foolproof before it can be added to any vehicle.
I don't think a human can reliably time this. We seem to be clocked around 12 Hz or so, and there are some additional sensory delays caused by the suspension response and the lack of visual feedback for the driver, who would not be watching either wheel, let alone both.
So the feature should be fully automatic. I agree it should cut off when either pedal is pressed. I also think it should cut off if the unstick happens on the backwards swing.
Although technically possible, the immediate complexities bestowed on the driver with steering direction and wanting to get out going forward or backwards does not make it anything but an accident waiting to happen.
Parking in snow between cars would require distance (parking) sensors to get involved too. Which we don't have yet... mind you they would see the snow pile and stop anyway.
Yeah too dangerous and complicated. Besides, the air suspension with the lift feature is much more promising, since the problem anyway is when a car gets wedged up and there is not enough weight on the wheels.
On ice the problem with 4 wheel drive might have been that the wheel with the least resistance (because it is on ice) will turn the most while the wheels that have more grip get no power... but Tesla software for AWD models and 4x4s will solve that, I am sure. Proof will come along when some off-road vehicle, maybe the pick-up, comes along and shows people what a 4x4 should be like... and make everyone drool. Tesla napkins is another promising segment.
"not enough weight" is not always the reason to get stuck. I have seen a truck getting stuck in less than foot high snow wheels spinning but nothing touching the underneath of the car. Problem is that at that first spin tire digs a hole that fits just the tire and tire can't get grip to raise out of the hole. There's no room for tire to get momentum, more weight would just dig you deeper.
What you need then is to adjust power just enough that car "pushes" toward that front snow pile but doesn't spin, then release so that it goes backward and pushes that back pile, repeat until you raise out of the hole. What that takes is just right timing and right application of power, nothing more.
Tesla TC is very close to be enough for that, I'm not sure car could get intelligent enough to do it by itself without risking hitting something even that it could do the unstuck -part of the problem.
It would need to anticipate the contact with the "other" side of the valley, and pre-time its return push. 3D modeling, dynamic style!
And that is why flooring it when you're stuck is the wrong thing to do, Timo. The solution is as you said. For snow, winter tires help a lot, too, otherwise you're just asking to get stuck.
There's one circumstance the BFI "goose it" strategy when stuck in snow can work, and probably conditioned the drivers to try it every time: shallow snow, so you cut down to the underlying pavement, and suddenly gain traction, and launch forward. Otherwise, you're making a smooth ice trap for the tires.
Let air out to 15 Psi, gentle, no slip torque, if tires sink quit. Otherwise continue
Refill tires when you get back to pavement
I like your auto-rocker button to rock the Tesla out of snow , mud, etc.
Two other points:
1) Also like to have anti-spin button for all speeds and all 4WD tires. This would help with acceleration spinouts and fishtailing. However, I would like the option to turn off anti-spin, sometimes I like to floor it, which I do sometimes to rock out of a hole.
2). There 's also front wheel turning skids. This is where you hit an ice patch at a bend, and the front wheels are turned to go around the bend, but have no traction and keep going straight right into the ditch.
Seems like the only hope here is for software to sense the wheels turning, but not the car. Then the Tesla's software applies ABS braking & slowing down all 4 4WD tires until the system detects traction and turning is re-established. The idea is to slow down & get turning traction, not stop where it might be hard to get started again.
Won't work all the time, but maybe some of the time.
All in all you have a very good idea, I hope you all present it to Tesla.
For the manual rocking system, a stick on the steering column would work and have 3 positions. For exa, push away to go forward, pull back for reverse. For safety, springs push the stick back to the middle resting place, which is neutral.
Buttons on the stick include, on, off and auto-rock.
RockOn &RockOut.
The auto rock is already on the Volt. Found this by accident, got stuck, turned off the traction control with the car in L regenerative braking, spin the wheels in forward, let up on gas, the computer thinks the car is moving forward fast and switches on regenerative braking spinning the wheels backwards. The car moves back about 2-3 feet before it realize it is not moving, then step on gas again and repeat , car rocked out no problem. This might be the same on Tesla

I can never say anything in under ten words or less {or pictures for that matter!} and this truth is the best way to introduce myself so be prepared. Don't say I didn't warn ya ;)
I love to talk yet am a good listener. I'm a wife and a mommy. I'm an artist and a photographer; I notice the way the morning sunlight illuminates the tips of the trees at about 7:04AM- it dabs the limbs with apricot paint. I am extremely passionate about life in general and all of my "loves." I love to sing. And dance. And write. Captain Jack Sparrow is my hero. I adore country music because it never fails to express exactly what's in my heart at any given moment but with a twang ;) I'm at my best when immersed in the passion of my art whether it be melting glass at the torch, assembling a piece of jewelry, looking eye to eye at a dragonfly through the viewfinder of my Canon 7D DSLR camera, scribbling furiously in my journal or even baking chocolate chip cookies in my itty-bitty kitchen... if I am not being creative then I am not living. Not really. Not fully.
My greatest creation is my son, PJ. We sing and dance and do art together. He's one of my favorite subjects to photograph and you, oh beloved follower of our blog, will grow to know him well. I'll introduce him to you now if you don't mind.
Look at that little grin! I know it makes you want to smile...
Yes I am addicted to my iphone camera, bless you Instamatic!
PJ's happy smiley bright pictures are a perfect representation of his adorable personality. My little toot is fabulous and I love him so much!
A few more examples of what I do... what makes me me.

Nature and country are some of my favorite subjects to photograph...
My spiritually-open side, that special part of me that listens with my heart instead of ruling my mind with my thought-based ego, that has slowly been emerging over the last ten years recently decided to speed up. Quickly. Speedy-Gonzelez-like. Guides and angels have literally been knocking on my door... and I finally decided to answer. My increasing sensitivity to their messages of love and guidance has been an interesting experience, one for which I am very thankful and grateful. I invite you to join me in my journey of spiritual enlightenment as I blog with Kristy and Madelyn~ I have a feeling it's going to be one exciting ride!
Make sure to find the MaJicK in every day; I know I do! ;)

Having a cat brings joy and companionship, but their litter boxes tend to get in the way. Before long, litter tends to fall on the ground. Instead of constantly sweeping up the litter box, there is a more convenient solution. With a bit of time and effort, a cabinet can be repurposed into a kitty palace.
To make this project, you just have to remove the shelves or drawers in a cabinet. A hole has to be cut in the side for the cat to enter. Meanwhile, nails can be installed for hanging litter scoops and other utensils. Before long, a basic cabinet can be transformed into a hidden litter box space.
This creative idea was made by Imgur user Erdamann. She thought of the brilliant idea and quickly set to work to gather the hardware supplies. Within about a day of work, she made a standard cabinet into the perfect space for her cat to privately use the bathroom.
She started with a basic cabinet. This cabinet was found at a thrift store and remade.
For the cabinet to be the right size, it had to be cut. The top and side portion were completely removed. The bottom trim was recut for a different look. Meanwhile, she took the doors apart and reshaped them. Now, they have a square-shaped trim.
Since the cabinet set did not match, it had to be repainted. For this project, she chose a basic white color to blend in with her home.
After getting excited about the project, she almost forgot the door. A hole was cut into the side for the cat to enter and exit.
Now that the door was cut, it was time to paint again. A second coat of paint really made the doors look like new.

.Net performance and Xna
by admin on Jul.19, 2010, under Storage
.Net performance and Xna
I was recently involved in a thread called "What are typical pitfalls when writing games with managed Languages like C# or Java?" over at the game dev stack exchange, and i think it might be interesting to archive my reply over here. Having spent an awful lot of time programming Xna/C#, I've learned a fair few things over the years that may be of help, or at least food for thought.
For a bit of background, real time 3D apps need to be fast. 60 frames a second is a good target to hit for smooth animations, leaving us with 16.6 milliseconds to do that frame. Everything, all the update logic, physics, AI, culling and rendering. It's not a long time.
One of the biggest performance problems for Xna is the garbage collector. The .net garbage collector on windows does a fantastic job, and you can get away without baby sitting it for the most part. On the xbox/winPhone7 its a different matter. A cursory look at the creators club forums for posts about garbage collection reveal that average collection times can be upward of 85 milliseconds. Sounds insignificant, but that does mean 5+ skipped frames. The compact framework (use on winPhone7 and xbox among other devices) currently triggers a collection after every 1mb allocation. What does that mean for us? Don't allocate more than a meg when your app is running!
Here's some tips for dealing with garbage. You shouldn't have to worry about most of these in reality, but they may come in handy one day.
Garbage collection isn't the end of memory woes. Real time code tends to have really tight loops that run hundreds, maybe thousands of times a frame. Lets have a look at an example.
public Matrix GetBodyMatrix() { return Matrix.CreateRotationZ(rotation) * Matrix.CreateTranslation(position.X, position.Y, 0); } public Vector2 GetWorldPosition(Vector2 localPosition) { return Vector2.Transform(localPosition, GetBodyMatrix()); }
This snippet is based on a chunk of code from the farseer 2D physics engine. We don't care at all about its function, we care about all the local struts its declaring. Structs, like Xna's Matrix and Vector2 live in the stack, and allocating stack memory is incredibly cheap, its basically incrementing a pointer (discussing exactly how the heap/stack work are out of scope for this article, there lots of good stuff on the net to help). So, a call to GetWorldPosition allocates 4 matrices (a RotationZ and translation, which are concatenated in to a third which is copied as the return to the calling method) and 1 Vector2. One call will allocate 66 floats on the stack. This method is called thousands of times in the physics engines loop, so farseer's developers have optimised it to look like this.
private Vector2 _worldPositionTemp = Vector2.Zero; private Matrix _bodyMatrixTemp = Matrix.Identity; private Matrix _rotationMatrixTemp = Matrix.Identity; private Matrix _translationMatrixTemp = Matrix.Identity; public void GetBodyMatrix(out Matrix bodyMatrix) { Matrix.CreateTranslation(position.X, position.Y, 0, out _translationMatrixTemp); Matrix.CreateRotationZ(rotation, out _rotationMatrixTemp); Matrix.Multiply(ref _rotationMatrixTemp, ref _translationMatrixTemp, out bodyMatrix); } public Vector2 GetWorldPosition(Vector2 localPosition) { GetBodyMatrix(out _bodyMatrixTemp); Vector2.Transform(ref localPosition, ref _bodyMatrixTemp, out _worldPositionTemp); return _worldPositionTemp; }
This seems a little strange at first. All the local variables have been promoted to class members, meaning they will now live in the heap. They also use the ref/out versions of all the maths methods they were using. This means the struts are passed by memory reference, instead of being copied between methods. The big question is why does this help? The allocations to the stack might be basically free, but initializing these types are not. Each call to that method had to initialise 66 floats to 0. As crazy as it sounds, this optimised version can run ~10-15% faster.

This is the crib I designed and built for my son, who could come any day now (and any more kids we might have in the future). It is based off the style of the Greene brothers, architects and designers from the early 1900s. It includes several elements of their style, including cloud lifts across the top and down the sides, ebony splines, and their sun-ray design. It is made of solid mahogany and ebony. I used Darrell Peart's mixture of 7 parts orange and 4 parts medium brown GF dye stain and I finished it with three coats of Arm R Seal.
My wife and I went on vacation to Pasadena, CA the first week in June 2011. We went for my 30th birthday and I wanted to go see The Gamble House. It was a wonderful trip and we both got very excited about the Greene brothers style. The day after we got home, we found out that we were expecting our first child! (We didn't know it at the time, but the baby was with us during our visit to The Gamble House.) We were thrilled and I immediately began thinking of this project. I began construction in September, and I just completed it. So it took five full months of nights and weekends to complete. Thanks for looking!

Two in One
Combine your CRM and online reward platforms for maximum ROI.
By Steve Damerow
CRM stands for "customer relationship management," but the term has morphed into "managing direct salespeople." There are more than 40 CRM platforms on the market that do the same thing — manage salespeople. If you use a direct sales approach, you can force your team to adopt CRM; however, US Commerce data maintains that 80 percent of the U.S. sales economy operates through a distributor, dealer or channel network — and you can't force a dealer to adopt CRM.
It's time to focus on integrating CRM platforms with new online/mobile incentive reward platforms that will reach all the goals of "forcing" the team, yet do it with a carrot instead of a stick. The net effect will be better sales accounting and a more engaged dealer network.
My proposal is to merge the sales tracking process with the new online/mobile incentive rewards platform to promote the activities that generate the sought-after goal for both internal and indirect sales channels within the wholesale and distribution industry. Here's how:
Step #1: Promote adoption.
Create and communicate your expectation of "good adoption" by segmenting users by your objectives. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) for each segment and use CRM platform as "tutorial" to communicate KPIs.
Measure who is doing what, how much and how often. Use performance tracking features within CRM as means of quantifying goals. Also utilize CRM to create a leaderboard and post status. Use "pick lists" and rules of validation to promote timeliness and quality. The info is only as good as the quality and timeliness. Penalize for poor performance.
Bind compensation with proper adoption. Compensation should have a direct correlation with segmented KPIs. Pay for performance!
Step #2: Reward the proper route to sales.
Integrate a mobile/online point program that immediately rewards goal attainment. New non-cash point program reward platforms offer a user experience that is similar to Amazon or Expedia – a choice of hundreds of gift cards all wrapped into a single dashboard. Determine what will motivate best above the normal cash compensation and reward often and openly.
Create competition and an upper echelon via leaderboards. Users maturity will affect how best to motivate; i.e., new users will need immediate short-term spiffs but experienced users will be more motivated by public competition and recognition of a leaderboard.
Try using gamification to create a sense of Vegas-type big winners. "Spin to win" and other types of gamification allow you to parlay small rewards that probably will not move the needle into a sweepstakes type, all or nothing gambling event; i.e., bet $30 with a 1:1000 chance to win a $30K bass boat.
The key is immediacy, flexibility and transparency with your participants. The beauty of online/mobile platform-based programs is the ability to load a cyber currency immediately for fulfillment either on the web or smart phone as a mobile wallet. Transparency is achieved by being clear which activities will be promoted and for how long. For example, a new sales person or dealer may receive points for product knowledge, whereas a more seasoned individual receives points for an end result.
To ensure flexibility, make it clear that your rules will evolve as your corporate objectives change. Promote the activities you need as you need them.
The new rules of CRM adoption
According to Luke Kreitner, VP of Sales, Loyaltyworks, "The key is to gain that dealer salesperson 'mindshare' and promote best practices that translate back to reaching predetermined KPIs for the manufacturer."
Kreitner explains, "Obviously, it is easier to insist a direct sales force adopt a CRM platform, but 80 percent of the American economy relies on channel sales. In channel sales, the incentive reward platform actually functions as your customer relationship tool. Your dealers are adopting CRM through the sales incentive platforms and don't even know it, because it is rewarding and painless."
CRM adoption varies greatly by user, and using immediate rewards promotes both the proper usage and reiterates that following the CRM procedure is beneficial to the user. It's similar to Pavlov's dogs. The amount of reward and the time and hassle it takes to receive it are related. If you reduce the time/hassle factor, you can even reduce the reward but have a greater consequence.
Kreitner concludes, "New CSS-based platforms allow our clients to actively change their promotions as needed so they can be more responsive and garner ROI all for less money than previously attainable."
To sum it up, combining CRM and online reward incentive platforms will achieve maximum ROI for your wholesale and/or distribution business if you follow these two key guidelines:
1) Promote adoption AND individually focus not only in the stage of sale, but the maturity of the recipient.
2) Integrate the new mobile/online engagement reward platform to incentivize the recipient and promote "mindshare" engagement.

Multinational companies often test new or improved processes by rolling out a limited pilot in one or several markets. New research identifies how to maximize the chances of success for these high-stakes dress rehearsals.
Multinational companies are under more pressure than ever to maintain their competitive edge. One way they try to meet the challenge is by implementing global headquarter-driven strategic initiatives designed to leverage their global scale with new or improved processes. Such strategic initiatives as harmonizing sales processes, launching a new global service for customers, building a shared service processing center or introducing standardized operations processes can create economies of scale and scope in operations. Successful initiatives may also make it possible to compare process performance across locations, uncovering new opportunities.
To try to improve the chance of success for such initiatives,1 companies often conduct a field test of the global initiative in a restricted part of the business, such as a single country market or a small group of country markets. If this pilot succeeds in demonstrating the value of the new practice, top management will roll out the initiative regionally or globally to realize its full economic and strategic value.
Senior executives sometimes regard learning as the primary goal of piloting a global initiative. They assume that if anything does go seriously wrong, the stakeholders will be forgiving because the pilot is just an experiment. Our research, however, has found that the stakes are actually much higher. (See "About the Research.") During the pilot, the country market managers next in line to implement the strategic initiative form their own attitudes about it. Their assessment of the pilot often determines the extent to which it will be eventually adopted within the organization. In this way, a pilot is much more like a dress rehearsal than an experiment. If the performance fails to impress the country managers, they are likely to adopt the initiative in a perfunctory way, without genuinely integrating the processes within the organization.2 Or if the pilot's performance is truly terrible, managers from across the organization may band together and refuse to even start their implementation.


text: Like many people, I felt that this was a case where the gov't had reason to go into this compound and see if the children were being abused. One anonymous phone call is not really enough, but together with what authorities already knew was going on in there, why not check it out. Well, the state of Texas authorities have gone on to employ that well worn tactic of using the ends to justify the means. They feel that their goals are so lofty, so ideal, that it doesn't really matter if they act like complete lying, scumbag, royal, pos to carry out these high and lofty goals and ideals. Current reporting, which has not been contradicted, but rather mostly stipulated to, is that the women who were removed from the compound have been lied to every single step of the way. From what would happen , where they would go, EVEN IF THEIR CHILDREN WOULD REMAIN WITH THEM. It's pathetic, but goes right down the same path of the infamous cases a couple decades ago of imprisoning people for child abuse when the evidence was not only flimsy, but completely made up. Check out the history of Janet Reno, if you can stomach it.

One story I missed commenting on from last week was Osborne statement, or more to the point scare at bed time, regarding whether Scotland would be allowed keep the pound in the (unlikely) event of independence. Predictably he implied London would make thinks exceedingly difficult for Scotland, not so much because it was in Britain's interest to do so, but too punish the Scot's for walking out on him. Indeed his speech reminded me of the sort of behaviour I've seen from a divorcing couple where one jilted partner seems determined to make the divorce as difficult as possible, e.g. fighting over the family home, to the point where the likely outcome is that they'll have to sell it at below market value, neither will get enough from the sale to buy a new home and the only winner is the lawyers (who'll get most of the money via their fees).
That said, the Alex Slamond all but knelled down in front of the Tories on this issue with a sign on his back saying "kick me". It would indeed make little sense for Scotland to retain the pound after independence (at least long term). It would be an unprecedented move for any independent country. While several countries have pegged the value of their currency to the dollar (or even allow them to be used as an unofficial currency) these are very different circumstances to what Scotland would face.
Again, a big part of the problem is the SNP's unrealistic and naive believe that independence can take place quickly, when in truth there would have to be a long and protracted series of negotiations. This would probably see the Scot's hanging onto the pound for some part of that transition period, but longer term it would make sense for them to set up their own currency, even if this was merely a transitional step towards the Euro. And like the issue of EU membership, it is becoming obvious that the SNP have not properly thought this one through.
In truth there would be advantages to both sides to reaching an amicable settlement on this issue (a review of the option here), not least of those the fact that the Scot's might just walk away from England, form their own currency and leave Britain to pick up the tab for Scotland's share of the UK's national debt.
And contrary to what Osborne says it would be more in England's interest to maintain a currency union than Scotland. Without Scotland's industry, which includes many high value export goods (e.g. Whiskey, Salmon, Angus beef, Irn-bru :DD etc.) plus their oil reserves, Sterling will be much more vulnerable without Scotland part of it and probably at risk (in its present from) to speculator attack next time the country gets into economic trouble. Indeed my suspicion long term is, if Scotland leaves, they'll get their own currency (at least until the oil runs out) and England will eventually be forced to join the euro.
There is no reason to doubt that a Scottish currency would be stable. Many smaller European countries of similar size have very stable currencies, and they don't have Scotland's oil reserves to back up there currency. And let's face it, the way some English shopkeepers act, Scotland essentially already has its own currency.
Take Ireland, we used to have the punt. It was, despite the many up's and down's over the 80 years of its life, a fairly stable currency. And its value generally tracked that of the British Pound reasonably closely (within 10-25%), despite there being no official pegging of the punt to the pound by Dublin. While the Irish national bank did occasional intervene to maintain a reasonable exchange rate, by and large the punt was allowed to float. There is thus little reason to doubt the integrity of any Scottish currency (and that it would maintain value v's Sterling), so long as the SNP didn't do something really stupid, like what Iceland got up to (and even then its worth noting that Iceland is not recovering and has a better credit rating than a number of eurozone countries).
Of course the problem for the SNP is that they know from their focus groups and opinion polls that many in Scotland don't believe that a Scottish currency would be stable. The tabloids have long been stirring things up to suggest otherwise, not to mention hinting at chaos if such a currency was introduced. Indeed many of the scare stories they've dug up are similar to the stuff we heard in Ireland before the Euro came in.
We were told back then that there would be panic in the streets, hyper inflation (even before the euro was introduced!), that someone would try to buy a sandwich with a mix of Euro coins and punts and both he and the shop keepers would spontaneously implode in confusion, that there would be a wave of crime (as security vans would for a brief period be carrying double the amount of cash), that shops would shut down to escape the chaos and we'd all starve…..actually what happened was on January the 1st everyone's bank account rolled over from punt to Euros and I, like most Irish, gathered up whatever punts I had left, went to the bank, handed them over and got it all back in Euros. Simple as that. Again there is no reason to suspect that the introduction of a Scottish pound would be any less stressful. Its hardly the first time in history a country has introduced a new currency (when Norway and Sweden split at the turn of the century, they essentially split the Krona in two, Swedish and Norwegian).
But the SNP have allowed themselves to become trapped by their own ideology and their commitment to unrealistic polices. As I've long argued, I'm minded to support Scottish independence, but for me the devil is very much in the detail. As far as this currency issue is concerned, what the SNP are proposing is just silly and unworkable.
My advise to the SNP is to drop the independence referendum altogether and focus on getting more devolved powers for the Scottish parliament, as in truth this is what the majority of the Scottish people actually want.

Those in the mood to introduce a large cake or a selection of small and mini cakes for the dessert of their Christmas lunch—given Coptic Christmas' already generous selection of traditional cookies—might contemplate an assortment of home-made Belgian chocolates from House of Cocoa.
The quality is not quite what you would find at say Godiva or Neuhaus -- but the pralines and truffles provide a tasty bite, with milk, white, and dark chocolate varieties to choose from.
They come thick and thin, round and irregular, with and without nuts -- but they come dear; beware the bill if you're stocking up for a crowd.
Cake Café
There are so many ways to indulge in the chocolate desserts of Cake Café – they come in straight chocolate, with caramel and nut variations, cupcakes, pound cakes and more. There is also a diet variation to consider.
For Christmas lunch or dinner, the most obvious choice seems to be the all chocolate cake, with chocolate topping.
It is a perfect winter dessert anyway, but particularly designed to please those who care for a deep and intense style of chocolate devouring, especially after close to six week of chocolate starvation for those who observed the fast.
The cake is also large enough to allow the hosts to cater for 10 to 15 people.
Cake varieties are also available by the slice, so customers can assemble a diverse selection of bites.
Cakes House
The name of this patisserie is all about the quality of what it offers: truly home-baked style cakes.
And typically, the best of the truly home-baked cakes are the chocolate selections.
One cannot miss the brownies, walnut brownies and chocolate cookies.
But the ultimate attraction here is the American-recipe chocolate cake, which is often served with an extra rich chocolate sauce – wonderful served warm.
Equally inviting is the fudge chocolate cake that is as rich and warm as a winter dessert should be.
The prices at Cakes House are one of its many assets—more affordable than most patisseries, without a cost in quality.
This is the ultimate tart destination, with so many variations of chocolate and chocolate-plus options. Delight offers Maltesers, Twix and Mars tarts along with mini tartlets of chocolate and strawberries or chocolate and caramel.
Delight is also ready with a variety of chocolate cakes – and there is the real surprise: a dark chocolate cake that is both light and satisfying for the true chocolate addict. It offers itself as a perfect centerpiece on the dessert buffet and is big enough to serve at least ten.
Exception has a considerable variety of Christmas themes – including the chocolate cupcakes with icing for the Holidays.
They also offer their clients the chance to have their Christmas cakes made upon request with the selected icing and filling.
However, for those who just wish to go for a "regular" chocolate cake for their Christmas lunch/dinner, Exception offers everything from the kit-kat torte to the rocher. The latter is particularly popular, given its soft texture and rich taste – but also given its good price.
For those who care for the ice-cream cakes and mud cakes, Exception is also the place to consider a good selection of each.
Four Fat Ladies
Since they started their operation about a couple of years ago, the very mention of Four Fat Ladies has been associated with the inevitable reference of their brownies.
The Four Fat Ladies brownies are among the best in town; they observe a recipe that bakes those perfect dark squares as they should be: rich and almost sensational.
Four Fat Ladies are also known for their mouth-watering Nutella chocolate cake, and of course the chocolate and pecan options, which are not that common around the Cairo patisseries.
Their less known but equally inviting chocolate feast is the Four Fat Ladies orange-chocolate cake with a thin chocolate topping.
The mix is exactly right – and it is exactly designed for the winter mood.
It is always possible to infuse yet another taste if the cake is served after being so lightly warmed and served with ice cream – vanilla is safe, but strawberry is an idea worth trying; and caramel is not exactly right.
Many think of Paul as the right place to indulge in the tarte flan and the raspberry or mango charlotte. And this is absolutely true. But if one thinks Paul, it is practically impossible to overlook their selection of chocolate cakes, including the chocolate mille-feuille، éclair, tartlets and of course macarons.
Paul also has the regular intense chocolate cake and its chocolate swiss roll – each is enough for six to eight people.
For a dessert that should cater for a larger group, there is always the very soft black forest.
La Poire
This is perhaps the one patisserie that is always easy to stop by – it is really all over, not just in the capital, but in almost every single big governorate.
For years, La Poire has been identified for its one-cake-fits-all item: a half-black forest and-half fruit sponge cake. It later developed a reputation for the mille-feuille mix cake that brings together the four-tastes-in-one of La Poire's most popular cakes, including the chocolate mille-feuille.
However, the chocolate gateaux of La Poire is what attracts most of its clients, especially the chocolate balls and the dark chocolate mousse.
Of course, the chocolate gateaux selection of La Poire also includes the classic eclairs that are said to be among La Poire's most popular delices.
Charisma is Tortina's crispy base, creamy chocolate and hazelnut croquand topping. Swan Lake is Tortina's chocolate fudge cake, caramel chocolate mousse and sauted apples.
These are only two of the many chocolate cakes that Tortina has to offer – either in full or in slices for those who wish to craft their own mix-and-matched cakes.
There is also a wide selection of chocolate tartes, including the traditional selections, with the chocolate mousse coming on top, and the more fashionable variations of kit-kat and twix tarts.
But the one thing that cannot be overlooked at Tortina's is their turtle chocolate cheese cake – if only for its chocolate sablet crust.
This is the place to go to if one is considering something out of the ordinary – not that they are short on the traditional recipes of chocolate cakes.
It is rather that Zanoubia is exactly the place where one can have the chance to choose between two cakes that are baked to please to those of diverse tastes: One has the combination of dark chocolate mousse, white chocolate mousse and berries and the very traditional fruit cake; the other is basically a traditional chocolate sponge with toppings of M&Ms, Kit-Kat and Maltesers.

Well, it's official, the Yankees have worked out a deal to send A.J. Burnett and $20 million in cash to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for outfielder Exicardo Cayones and right-handed reliever Diego Moreno. While the move makes sense for a Yankees squad who had been carrying 7 potential starters since the January 13th acquisition of Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda, does the move benefit a Pirates squad who many have already written off to be in the bottom half of the NL Central this year?
You Can't Always Get What You Want
When the Yankees acquired Burnett in 2009 it was to bolster a starting rotation which carried CC Sabathia as its ace, along with Andy Pettitte and Joba Chamberlain. Burnett was viewed as a potential number 2 coming off of a 2008 season where he had gone 18-10 in 35 appearances (his career best for win percentage) with an ERA of 4.07 for the Toronto Blue Jays. For the short-term the acquisition seemed to pay off as Burnett went 13-9 in 33 games in 2009, and carried an ERA of 4.04 (2nd best for Yankee starters behind Sabathia). However, something was about to go horribly wrong.
The 2010 season marked the beginning of Burnett's fall from grace as he posted the worst ERA of his career (5.26) as well as a sub .500 winning percentage (10-15 in 33 games), something he had not done since 2001 when he was with the Florida Marlins.
2011 proved to be a slight improvement (11-11 in 33 games with and ERA of 5.15), but obviously was not the sort of production the Yankees had expected when they signed Burnett to a 5 year $82.5 million dollar contract. Thus, a decision had to be made.
Off the Hook
With this years Yankees already sporting more starting pitchers than needed going into camp (Sabathia, Nova, Garcia, Hughes, Pineda, and Kuroda), A.J.'s failings made him expendable. So, when the Pirates failed to acquire veteran free agents Edwin Jackson and Roy Oswalt, the stage was set for talks to begin.
Reportedly, the Pirates will be required to cover $13 million of the remaining $33 million due to Burnett over the next two years. So, at $6.5 million per year, is the investment worth it to a Pirates team that, ironically enough, is also overstocked with starting pitching?
One More Try
Earlier in the week, Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle, was optimistic regarding the move pointing to the likes of Javier Vasquez and Carl Pavanno as examples of players who were able to revitalize their careers by leaving New York. Some of this optimism my also be coming from the fact that PNC Park is considered by many to be more of a pitcher friendly park, especially when compared to the new Yankees Stadium.
Another thing to consider is that Burnett should provide some durability to a Pirates starting rotation that struggled with durability last year. In 2011, not a single Pirates pitcher reached 175 innings. Burnett, despite having some injury issues early in his career, has provided over 180 innings of starting pitching in each of the last 4 seasons showing that he should be a reliable starter for the Pirates.
So, what can fans expect from Burnett this year. I predict that he will find himself 11-10 in 33 starts with an ERA around 4.52. Will this change the Pirates standing in the NL Central race? Yes, but only slightly as it moves them up a spot past the Cubs, meaning they should finishing 4th in the Division behind Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis.
Sorry Pirates fans, this move, while beneficial, will not change your course for the season drastically enough to make you a contender.

I. Stay Organized!
II. Start with what you already know.
Look for documents that show family names, dates (birth, marriage, and death), places, or relationships:
Visit or write your relatives. Ask them to tell you stories and experiences that are a part of your family history. Even if they do not know the specific facts, relatives can sometimes give clues.
III. Work from Known to Unknown
IV. Search for Records
In addition to a name, know approximately when and where an ancestor lived. These facts will help you determine your starting point.
If you know Great Grandma Helen died in Ohio in 1953, you may or may not find a Social Security Death Index record for her (not everyone had been issued a card back then or drew SS benefits). You could search the Ohio Death Index and request a copy of the death certificate. And you could try searching the 1930 U.S. Census, the last pubicly available census (1940 will be released in 2012).

Last year, our new neighbours told us they were quoted a price of $40,000 to replace their leaky siding and there was a lengthy pause in the conversation, more than one sigh and some sympathetic nodding. We also need new siding. So we all had a glass of wine or two and tried to forget about it but, last winter, squirrels took up residence in our chimney along with two swarms of bees, leaving too many gaping holes to ignore and soggy wood caused by the resultant leakage. A full chimney is also a fire hazard. So I asked the question: how hard would it be just to rip it off the siding and put on some more? We found out today. Well, my husband found out and I helped. Turns out if you do all of Jillian Michaels' exercise DVDs, you will be sufficiently forceful with a hammer, but they won't help you with your fear of heights. My next question, as I helped rip the chimney apart, was: how do the caterpillars get in there, behind the siding? And why do we build houses with particle board covered in paper? I mean, it wasn't even real wood under there and some of it was rotten and had to be replaced.

"You'll Lose a Good Thing" is a popular song written by rhythm and blues artist Barbara Lynn Ozen, who, performing as Barbara Lynn, scored a 1962 Top 10 hit, peaking at #8 and also the number 1 spot on the R&B charts, with her bluesy rendition of the song.
From its rural south Louisiana origins, swamp pop went on to exert an influence on popular music both in the United States and abroad. (The term "swamp pop'' was actually coined by British music writer Bill Millar around 1970 and was popularized in the genres homeland by his compatriot and fellow music writer John Broven.) Notable swamp pop-influenced tunes include Bill Haley and the Comets' rerecording of Bobby Charles's ~Later Alligator,'' The Rolling Stones' version of Barbara Lynn's "You'll Lose a Good Thing,'' The Honeydrippers' rendition of "Sea of Love," and the Beatles' original composition "Oh! Darling," which exudes the swap pop ballad sound. (Contrary to popular belief, artists like Dale Hawkins, Tony Joe White, and Creedence Clearwater Revival did not perform swamp pop music, nor do they appear to have been influenced by the sound.)

At the IT Law Clinic, UCC regulation postgraduate college students present data to startups on legal questions.

My son recently turned three and since he is a summer baby, I thought a slip and slide would be a lot of fun! I went to my local Toys R US and was heartbroken. All the slip and slides were for ages 5 and up. They were not recommended for my son. I was about to give up and get him something else, when I noticed H20GO! Fun Sketching Art Blobz.
Say what now?
Per their description you simply hook the blob up to a garden hose and fill it with water. Once it is filled, water will spray across the top. To add more thrills, water fills through the nozzle on top of the blob, creating a cool surface for playing and sliding across. Plus, the sketching blob includes 5 erasable crayons to use for sketches on the blob.
In other words, it is a water blob that allows your kids to slide through the sprinkler onto the splash pad. If they get tired of the sprinkler they can still slide around. Once bored with those options, they can color the blob.
My kids have spent countless hours slipping and sliding and jumping and coloring on this blob. We are in love.
This is now sold out in stores! I put a few places you can find it below online. Have a splashing time!!

It makes sense to grow your business through multi-level marketing, especially if you conduct business online. There is a lot of work involved, though. The amount of work you have to do may seem overwhelming at first; you may not be sure what to do first, especially since you want to see your profits increase as soon as possible.
Some people are under the impression that quantity is of greater importance when multilevel marketing, but in actuality quality is what beats quantity every time. If you want to be truly profitable, you have to find workers with the drive to succeed, and the willingness to make the effort to establish their own downlines.
While multi-level marketing, you are bound to make mistakes so you must learn from these at all times. When you understand why certain techniques were unsuccessful, you may be able to transform a bad idea into a good one. When you study what doesn't work, you know what to eliminate and can place more emphasis on things that do work.
Get prospects to your web page. This may be the hardest aspect of multi-level marketing, but this can make or break you. Once you are able to get a person to look at your website, he or she will have a better idea of what you are selling so that person can decide what to do.
If you want to see more growth from your network marketing efforts, you have to constantly learn new things. Read up on some techniques to help with multi-level marketing, as well as other topics like business, social media marketing, and anything else that might give you an edge. If you have the time you can benefit greatly from attending webinars of other successful network marketers, they can be from your company or from another. The more you learn the intricacies of multi-level marketing, the more you will be able to provide its benefits to yourself and your network.
Your client may hear you for the first time on your answering machine, so do not underestimate the effect of your message. Your first impression on your answering machine should ideally be short, upbeat and friendly. Make sure your message specifies the information you want them to leave, and if at all possible, tell them when they can expect to hear back from you.
MLM should be handled as an integral part of your business rather than as something to merely dabble in. If you want to be successful, you will have to work hard to achieve your goals.
Social networking must be a portion of the affiliate marketing efforts in which you engage. Create separate groups for different product niches, and focus on enhancing customer relationships. Create a page for each affiliate program you're a part of on the various social networking websites.
The tips you just read will bring in the bacon if you keep doing your research and putting in the work. It's important to stick with it to ensure that you will reach success. Apply these tips to your efforts and keep putting in effort, and soon you'll be a successful network marketer.
