Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Do I hbave to pay my wifes credit card debts.
It depends. You need to advise the credit card companies that your wife died. If you open an estate, they may be able to file a claim in the estate. If she had no assets of her own, you may be able to avoid paying anything. Do not sign anything that the credit card companies give you.Ask a similar question
If you were not a guarantor on the cards, you are not personally responsible for the debt. However, the debt will have to come out of her estate. Did she have a wlll? Have you opened up a probate matter? Are you the executor? The executor will be responsible for gathering her assets and liabilities and distributing accordingly.Ask a similar question
After a relative dies, the last thing grieving family members may expect are calls from debt collectors asking them to pay their loved one's outstanding debts. A surviving relative usually has no legal obligation to pay the debts of a family member who has died. In fact, the rights of surviving relatives are covered by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.Ask a similar question

"Over the coming months, the partnership will introduce a VIP Host Certification Program administered by Gay.Vegas"
Forging a bold alliance, leading nightlife website jackcolton.com and LGBT-cornerstone Gay.Vegas are poised for rapid growth in Las Vegas nightlife as they announce a strategic alliance for 2015. The partnership paves the way for LGBT inclusion in the Las Vegas nightlife scene. More and more often, the Vegas straight clubs are attracting LGBT party-goers. As LGBT equality hits the mainstream, the nightlife crowds and clubs are more accepting of gay culture.
"We are very excited about our new partnership and what Jackcolton.com can offer the LGBT community. We've come to find that LGBT makes up a large percentage of the nightlife target demographic that visits Las Vegas," said Kalika Moquin, Partner at jackcolton.com "With a finger on the pulse to what is relevant in dance music and nightlife today, we think there is a lot of opportunity for creative ideas and events to come to life, and look forward to a long lasting relationship with jackcolton.com, Gay.Vegas, and the the LGBT community moving into the future."
"The goal of Jackcolton.com is pretty simple," said Anthony Nuzzo, CEO of Jack Colton, Inc. "Provide the information that we would want to know if the shoe were on the other foot, and help setup the conversations, access and ability to purchase the necessary tickets and products to make a Las Vegas trip as perfectly outrageous as our visitors want to have."
Over the coming months, the partnership will introduce a VIP Host Certification Program administered by Gay.Vegas.
Through both the jackcolton.com and Gay.Vegas websites, LGBT guests will connect directly to certified VIP hosts through iHOSTVegas.com, the Jack Colton concierge service, at all major nightclubs who will offer an inclusive and welcoming customer experience.
Mainstream nightlife typically expects a ratio of men to women in a club, but groups of gay men or lesbians wanting to attend a nightclub are often met with a misunderstanding of gender ratios.
"For many years, locals and tourists have asked me for connections inside the nightclubs and I've connected them directly with a host and explained the situation," said Garrett Pattiani, co-founder of Gay.Vegas. "This new program will educate jackcolton.com VIP hosts at every major nightlife venue in Las Vegas and provide them with a greater understanding of LGBT customer needs, as well as sensitivity training so they can provide a fabulous customer experience."
The partnership facilitates access for LGBT tourists to experience what Vegas nightlife is truly about:
Headlining DJ's in the EDM music scene and jaw-dropping venues that amaze guests with stimulating lights, lasers, and sounds.
In addition to LGBT visitors seeking mainstream options, ally guests seeking LGBT options will find prominent gay nightlife also listed on http://jackcolton.com/lgbt and http://www.gay.vegas/jackcolton
Rolling out in early 2015, jackcolton.com, iHOSTVegas.com and Gay.Vegas will offer dedicated cross-promotions on each website.
The Certified Host Program will launch with the Las Vegas Pool Party season in Spring 2015, ensuring that guests are afforded many options both day and night all summer long.

So in my Redhat9 (kernel v2.4.20-8) vmware machine, I compiled UML with kernel v2.6.7 and it produced the linux binary. I then downloaded the Debian3.0 root filesystem from sourceforge and just ran "linux". It looks like it goes thru boot-up, but at the end of all the messages, it went back to the prompt, didn't let me login and there's no error that I can see. I don't know what is wrong or what to do now. I've tried running "linux" as both root and as a regular user. Can anyone help me? Is this a VMware issue or a UML issue?

The 2010 NLCS schedule could have some of the best pitching match-ups we have seen in baseball postseason history. When Game 1 of the NLCS opens on Saturday night, we will get to see a match-up of two of the best pitchers the National League has to offer right now.
Roy Halladay will pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies and Tim Lincecum will take the mound for the San Francisco Giants. With all due respect to historians of the game of baseball, this Lincecum vs. Halladay match-up is what fans of great pitching duels live to see. And that is only the Game 1 match-up.
The projected Game 2 starters of the Phillies vs. Giants series are Roy Oswalt and Matt Cain, two guys who are also considered among the best pitchers in baseball. Oswalt was buried on an underperforming Houston Astros team the past few years, but don't forget that this is a guy who has confounded hitters for years. In his brief stint for the Phillies in 2010, he went 7-1 with a 1.74 ERA and an amazing stat of less than one runner getting on base each inning he pitched. He has a lot of postseason experience, and won his single start in the NLDS, despite giving up three earned runs. Matt Cain didn't give up any earned runs in his NLDS start, marking a great postseason debut.
Maybe upping the excitement level surrounding the pitching staffs of the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies is the fact that so many of these guys had never even seen the postseason before. Halladay just pitched a no-hitter in his first ever postseason start, and Lincecum came very close to matching that in his two-hit, 14 strike-out shut out of the Atlanta Braves in his debut. Two of the best pitching performances that we have ever seen in the postseason just happened one day apart in 2010, and now we get to see these two aces go head-to-head in Game 1 of the 2010 NLCS.
Talking about the notable names of these pitching staffs doesn't even mention that Game 3 starters Jonathan Sanchez and Cole Hamels could be No. 1 starters for many other teams around baseball. It is amazing how deep both pitching staffs really are, and offense is going to be at a premium during the 2010 NLCS. The team that manages to score three runs on a night seems to have the upper hand at winning this series, and a win in the NLCS will give the National League champion home field in the World Series.
Game 1 is on Saturday night, and we could be watching baseball history take place as two of the best pitching staffs since the Atlanta Braves threesome take to the mound this week.

The Relationship between Knowledge Intensity and Market Concentration in European Industries: An inverted U-Shape
This paper is motivated by the European Union strategy to secure competitiveness for Europe in the globalising world by focussing on technological supremacy (the Lisbon - agenda). Parallel to that, the EU Commission is trying to take a more economic approach to competition policy in general and anti-trust policy in particular. Our analysis tries to establish the relationship between increasing knowledge intensity and the resulting market concentration: if the European Union economy is gradually shifting to a pattern of sectoral specialisation that features a bias on knowledge intensive sectors, then this may well have some influence on market concentration and competition policy would have to adjust not to counterfeit the Lisbon-agenda. Following a review of the available theoretical and empirical literature on the relationship between knowledge intensity and market structure, we use a larger Eurostat database to test the shape of this relationship. Assuming a causality that runs from knowledge to concentration, we show that the relationship between knowledge intensity and market structures is in fact different for knowledge intensive industries and we establish a non-linear, inverted U-curve shape.

Sources say the teen did not tell Britney the news before it was made public in an interview with an American magazine.
Scroll down for more...
A Britney friend said: "This is going to kill her. In the end, she'll be supportive, but this is a big shock."
A high school student who lives in Louisiana, Jamie Lynn Spears reportedly met the father, Casey Aldridge, the son of a Tennessee papermill worker, at church.
Jamie Lynn told the US edition of OK! magazine: "It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he.
Scroll down for more...
"Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."
Lynne was set to pen a parenting book about raising her famous daughters, but it has now been put on hold indefinately.
Meanwhile, Nickelodeon said in a statement: "We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being."
Her big sister, Britney may not be the best source of parenting advice.
The 26-year-old pop star lost primary custody of her two sons, aged 2 and 1, to ex-husband Kevin Federline after their divorce last year and is engaged in a bitter custody battle that has shone a harsh spotlight on her maternal shortcomings.
Zoey 101, which wrapped production on its fourth and final season in September, revolves around a headstrong student at a co-ed boarding school in California.

All three parties are now represented on the executive of Scotland Forward, the non-partisan umbrella group co-ordinating the campaign for Yes votes in the referendum on 11 September.
However, the strain in the new-found unity between the parties has quickly begun to show. Kay Ullrich, a former election candidate and one of the three new SNP members of the Scotland Forward team, yesterday came under attack from Jim Stevens, an economist and member of Labour's Scottish executive. In a BBC radio interview, Mr Stevens questioned the wisdom of working alongside an avowedly pro- independence party.
Though Donald Dewar, the Secretary of State for Scotland, has said he is "absolutely delighted" at the SNP's participation, other senior Labour figures believe some voters who support limited devolution could be scared into the "No" camp if the nationalists trumpet the parliament as a first step to independence.
The anti-home rule "Think Twice" lobby was quick to exploit the chinks in what they regard as an unholy alliance. Brian Monteith, the Think Twice co-ordinator, said people should ask themselves why the SNP thought the parliament was worth backing.
"The Labour and SNP agendas are quite separate. But Labour so desparately need SNP support on 11 September that they are prepared to go along with a high-risk strategy they know could lead to independence," Mr Monteith said.
Two SNP representatives, Ms Ullrich and the former MP George Reid, were welcomed on board at yesterday's Scotland Forward strategy meeting. A third SNP figure, Alex Neil, the party's vice convenor for policy, will also be joining the executive.
With the referendum taking place on an aging electoral register, some 400,000 people are no longer living at the address they were on the relevant date in October 1996.
However people who have moved are entitled to vote in the areas where they have registered. A publicity campaign on postal voting got underway this week.Reuse content

Fatal St. Robert wreck may not lead to charges, police say
By: Darrell Todd Maurina
Posted: Monday, July 6, 2009 9:08 pm
SAINT ROBERT, Mo. (July 6, 2009) — While an early Sunday morning fatal crash remains under investigation, Detective Sgt. Doug Cooley of the St. Robert Police Department told city council members Monday evening that they don't anticipate the same developments as happened following the city's last fatal crash that killed Waynesville High School basketball coach Don Nelson.
"The fatality that took place yesterday of the pedestrian is still under investigation, but based on what I heard, no charges are expected against the driver," Cooley said. "I just obtained this information earlier today from the traffic sergeant."
According to state and local law enforcement reports, Ben William Schwab, 42, of St. Robert, had been walking across Missouri Avenue in St. Robert early Sunday morning when he was struck by a pickup at 2:15 a.m. driven by Edward Lee Horne Jr., 40, of Dixon.
Horne was an off-duty cab driver using his personal vehicle, not a company cab, Cooley said. According to a St. Robert police report, Horne was unable to see Schwab in time to avoid his vehicle striking Schwab, who sustained serious injuries from the impact.
Following the city council meeting, Cooley said a key part of the remaining investigation will be a toxicology report that will determine whether any alcohol, drugs, or prescription medicines were being used by Horne or Schwab. Those results could take weeks to get back from the state crime lab, Cooley said.
St. Robert's last fatal crash happened on June 4 when Nelson was riding a motorcycle and was struck head-on by George Henry Widener, who according to police reports, was driving the wrong way on Old Route 66 in St. Robert in a Chevrolet Avalanche SUV. Widener was not hurt in the crash; Nelson was pronounced dead on the scene. Widener was subsequently charged with involuntary manslaughter.

#Honda #HondaAccord – 2018 Honda Accord To Debut With Revolutionary Steering : A couple of months ago, Honda revealed that they are hastening the development of the next-gen Accord and this is because of the tenth-generation Civic.
The latter came out 2 years ago and it became an instant success due to having the best balance in power and fuel economy. The Civic's attractiveness has got many adopting the car instead of the Accord thus explaining why Honda is desperate for a new-generation model.
Well, Honda teased yesterday that the next-gen Accord will be coming out later this year and one of the new things that will feature on the car is a highly-sophisticated steering wheel.
As how you can see in the video above, the steering wheel is filled with emoticons. Pressing on them will allow the Accord to create a unique sound that will alert other drivers based on the emotion selected.
But before you get overexcited for the feature, you should know that the entire content above is nothing more than a prank being played by Honda. We fell for it the first time as we forgot it was April Fool's day. Sorry to get you involved.

Predicting hyper-converged infrastructure vendors' next moves
Peer into the future with HCI experts to learn what to expect from hyper-converged infrastructure vendors and products in 2017.
Many factors influence how hyper-converged infrastructure vendors and products will change in 2017. We skipped the crystal balls and tea leaves and asked our experts what they expect to see in the coming year.
SearchConvergedInfratructure's expert contributors have seen new technologies emerge, change and fade away. They're familiar with the general arc technological evolutions take, and they know what organizations are looking for from converged and hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) products.
Organizations want hyper-convergence to simplify workload deployment and management, integrate easily and add important functionality.
The market showed signs of maturing in 2016 with heightened competition, innovation and acquisitions. Experts anticipate seeing all of those things from hyper-converged infrastructure vendors in 2017.
1Mo' money, mo' acquisitions -
Alastair Cooke
HCI consolidation to come
After some small acquisitions and an initial public offering by Nutanix in 2016, hyper-converged infrastructure vendors could improve their financial situations in 2017. For example, SimpliVity is poised to make financial news, possibly in the form of new funding or as the acquisition target of a bigger vendor. As is the case with most emerging technology segments, the HCI market will continue to consolidate. Continue Reading
2Open world play-
Jim O'Reilly
Hyper-converged software vendors will help you build it your way
HCI software vendors have tended to craft partnerships with specific hardware manufacturers, but that doesn't mean administrators can't take matters into their own hands. In 2017, hyper-convergence could take on more of a built-to-order appearance, with shops choosing hardware first, and then tightly integrating it with HCI software. Continue Reading
Getting Started with Hyper-Converged Storage
This E-book will walk storage admins through the benefits of converged, hyper-converged and cloud storage in virtual server environments to help them gain an understanding of how the infrastructure complications are still plaguing many IT professionals today.

Brien Posey
How converged infrastructure could influence HCI
One of the primary benefits of hyper-convergence is that it's simple. HCI makes it easy to support complicated workloads quickly, but its software-defined nature means adding resources isn't such a snap. With converged infrastructure, shops can just add storage or compute nodes as they need them, and that approach could reach hyper-converged infrastructure vendors in 2017. Continue Reading

While one of the weakest generations of the Open Era — by my account, third after Gen 2 (1939-43) and Gen 12 (1989-93) — I personally find this one of the most interesting. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that it is hard to define, with no clear stars. It is the generation that was at its peak in the late 90s and early 00s, between the dominance of Sampras-Agassi and Federer. The generation has an interesting balance of players – no real standouts or all-time greats, but several excellent players.
Best Players by Birth Year
1974: Yevgeny Kafelnikov (RUS, 2), Alex Corretja (ESP), Thomas Enqvist (SWE), Andrei Medvedev (UKR), Tim Henman (UK)
1975: Marcelo Rios (CHIL), Thomas Johansson (SWE, 1), Jiri Novak (CZE), Albert Costa (ESP, 1)
1976: Gustavo Kuerten (BRA, 3), Carlos Moya (ESP, 1), Mark Philippoussis (AUS), Rainer Schüttler (GER), Magnus Norman (SWE)
1977: Nicolas Kiefer (GER), Guillermo Canas (ARG)
1978: Gaston Gaudio (ARG, 1), Tommy Haas (GER), Radek Stepanek (CZE), Sébastien Grosjean (FRA), Michael Russell (USA)
Click here to discuss "Open Era Generations, Part Eleven: Gen 9 (1974-78) – A Transitional Era" in the Discussion Forum.
This generation is responsible for only 9 Slams, the lowest since the 1939-43 generation (4). There are no all-time greats, merely a couple almost-greats, and a handful of very good players.
The two best players of the generation were Gustavo Kuerten and Yevgeny Kafelnikov, who accounted for five of the nine Slams. Kuerten was a clay-court specialist who won the French Open three times, as well as four clay Masters. But he also won the 2000 Tennis Masters Cup, defeating Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi – the only player to defeat both in the same tournament – and the hard-court Cincinnati Masters, so could play well off clay. "Guga" was only a Top 5 player for three years (1999-2001), and only finished in the Top 40 for eight years (1997-2004); his "near-greatness" was largely due to his lack of longevity, which was largely because of injuries starting in 2002. The second half of his career is one of the great What-If stories of the last couple decades.
Kafelnikov was less brilliant at his best, but had a longer peak than Guga, ranking No. 11 or better from 1994 to 2001. The third most accomplished player of the generation, Carlos Moya, ranked No. 61 or higher for fourteen straight years, from 1995 to 2008, including thirteen years No. 43 or better, and five years No. 7 or better – a consistently very good player.
Single-Slam winners Thomas Johansson, Albert Costa, and Gaston Gaudio are the definition of one-Slam wonders. Johansson had a long career, including eleven years in the Top 100, but he never finished a year in the Top 10; imagine if someone like Nicolas Almagro won a Slam and you get a sense of Johansson's feat. Costa was a clay-court specialist, probably similar in talent to someone like Feliciano Lopez, but happened to play between the reins of Kuerten and Rafael Nadal, and thus able to win a French Open (in 2002). Gaudio could be the worst player in the Open Era ever to win a Slam, the 2004 French Open against Guillermo Canas. He finished No. 10 in 2004 and 2005, but never finished another year in the Top 20.
This is the oldest generation to still have players on tour, but it won't be much longer. After a resurgence in 2012-13, 37-year-old Tommy Haas has slipped the last couple years and seems like he's winding down. Haas started on the ATP tour in 1996, losing his first Slam match to Sergi Bruguera at the US Open in the first round. 2015 makes it 20 years on tour. Haas has been around so long that his first year was the last year Boris Becker won a Slam (although he never played Becker).
Radek Stepanek is also ranked around No. 200, which would be the first year on tour that he hasn't finished No. 68 or higher – going back to 2002. Michael Russell, also from that 1978 birth year, just retired.
Underachievers and Forgotten Players
There's a reason I didn't mention Marcelo Rios above, as I was saving him for this category. In 1998 he looked like the heir apparent to Pete Sampras as the premier player in the game, taking the No. 1 ranking in late March and winning three Masters that year, as well as the Grand Slam Cup. Yet Rios's relatively mediocre second half of the year led to a loss of the No. 1 ranking to Sampras, and while he remained a Top 10 player in 1999, he slipped and stumbled in 2000 and never regained his elite status, largely due to injuries.
Another player who had a disappointing career is Andrei Medvedev, who was the first of the generation to rank in the year-end Top 10, finishing 1993 ranked No. 6 at age 19. While he would go on to win four Masters, he would never rank in the Top 10 again and made a Slam final only once.
There are several other players who fit the category of "close, but no cigar" as far as Slams go – Alex Corretja was 0-2 at French Open Slam finals, Thomas Enqvist was meant to revive Swedish tennis but–along with Johansson–instead ended up being a kind of dead-cat bounce after the great 1970s-80s era, and Tim Henman goes down as one of the greatest grass court players never to win Wimbledon. And boy did he try – eight out of nine years from 1996-2004 making the quarterfinals or later, including four semifinals but never a final. Mark Philippoussis also comes to mind in this category.
Did You Know?
I first came across Roberto Carretero's name when looking at Masters winners of the 90s. Carretero has quite a story: he won the Hamburg Masters in 1996 as a virtual unknown, ranked No. 143 and defeating Yevgeny Kafelnikov en route to a final win against rising young Spanish star, Alex Corretja. He never ranked higher than No. 58 and never made it past the second round in a Slam, retiring in 2001. But he does have that Hamburg Masters title.
Top Ten Players of the Generation
- Gustavo Kuerten
- Yevgeny Kafelnikov
- Carlos Moya
- Marcelo Rios
- Alex Corretja
- Tim Henman
- Tommy Haas
- Albert Costa
- Thomas Enqvist
- Andrei Medvedev
Honorable Mentions: Mark Philippoussis, Thomas Johansson, Sebastian Grosjean, Magnus Norman, Gaston Gaudio, Radek Stepanek.
This is actually a hard generation to rank. I feel confident about the top four, although think Moya and Rios could be swapped, and I went back and forth on Kuerten and Kafelnikov, but in the end prefer Kuerten's higher peak to Kafelnikov's greater longevity. After the "biggish four," Corretja is probably the best of the rest, with Henman, Haas, Costa, and Enqvist not far behind, but that tenth spot could go to any of Medvedev, Philippoussis, Johansson, or Grosjean.

I just love it when people show me their cosies. And tell me their stories. This beaut story came this week with pictures.
One of the ladies in our office expressed a wish to learn to knit. She is in her thirties and had never learnt. So six of us have been meeting every week or so. We dusted off our knitting needles; found some very old fashioned knitting patterns (complete with dashing 1980's style male models), and re-acquainted ourselves with knit, purl and drop one (or two or three).
I was given the Wild Tea Cosies for Christmas – a special request. It's amazing how every individual will be attracted to a different pattern in the book. Our learner chose the NightCap pattern because it is garter stitch and she liked the blue, purple and red in the photo. We had a trip to our local yarn store (Threads and More).
Our learner was very concerned that a blue tea cosy would not match her kitchen, so we encouraged her to choose her favourite yarn to fit the kitchen. She chose the apple green (RichMore Percent 100/1 pure wool). From there it was a matter of picking colours to match in (or contrast in the case of the burgundy red). I think you will agree the finished effect is very striking. The red and wooden buttons set off the work. The pattern allowed our learner to practice knitting, learn increasing and decreasing, and joining colours.
Another of our ladies chose Wonder Weave and a textured Noro Yarn. The finished project is very individual and has a mighty fine pompom. She has since received orders from family members.
I chose licorice allsorts, mostly because I like the colours and because confectionery is such a yummy thing. It is knitted in Shepherd Colour 4 me yarns. Likewise I have had other family members interested in a tea cosy, but not the licorice allsorts – they seem to prefer something different from the Wild Tea Cosy book.
We continue to meet frequently and I'm sure the projects will come around to tea cosies again soon.
Thank you Loani for your inspiring book, pictures and patterns.
Annabel (Brisbane).
I get the odd lovely lovely letter. I've printed this one because it epitomises the joy of learning, teaching and playing together. So much gained from such a small silly thing - a tea cosy.
Thanks girls and thanks to all those who write to express their joy. For joy expressed out loud is joy shared far and wide.
Oh dear now I'm sounding like a Hallmark card. Too bad. What the heck!

The Russellvcille High School Swimming Panthers closed out their season Saturday, February 13, at the Region 2 Swim Meet in Owensboro, Kentucky. What should have been a day of prelims on Friday with a follow-up day of finals on Saturday morphed into a "timed finals" situation because of Friday's snow. The girls' relay team comprised of Morgan Bryant, Katie Paul, Katie Ray Holloman, and Kate Bouldin swam in both the 200 Medley Relay and the 200 Freestyle Relay. The girls' team placed 14th (2:27.29) in the medley and 13th (2:06.24) in the freestyle – both times were a season best for them. Individual results are below.
Morgan Bryant – 50 Free 30th (31.17) and 100 Free 28th (1:11.93)
Katie Paul – 50 Free 38th (34.14) and 100 Free 35th (1:15.30)
Katie Ray Holloman – 50 Free 29th (31.01) and 100 Free 17th (1:07.62)
Cole Celsor – 50 Free 27th (27.62) and 100 Free 21st (1:01.67)
Dillon Porter – 50 Free 40th (30.89) and 100 Breast 16th (1:21.88)
Kate Bouldin -100 Fly 12th (1:10.19) and 500 Free 9th (6:04.89)
According to Coach Hall, "every swimmer had their personal best times yesterday, and I'm very proud of them. They have worked so hard all season long."
It should be noted that Ben Slack did not get to swim on Saturday as he had an obligation to serve the Academic Team at the Regional Governor's Cup. Slack would have swam the prelims on Friday had the Regional Swim Meet not been cancelled that day. Ben represented well, as he will be going on to the State Academic Competition in March. Team members and Coach Toni Hall should be commended on an amazing season. They've spent the better part of the last five months in each other's back pockets, working so hard to improve each day. In addition to keeping up with an intense practice schedule, all of the swimmers juggled the responsibilities of keeping their grades up, family life, and other extracurricular activities.

Marmot Storm Queen Pant Women's
Rule your winter kingdom in the Marmot Women's Storm Queen softshell pants. They've been tested by guides and come out with three thumbs up, so you can be confident that your legs will be dry and comfortable whether you're spinning lift laps, skiing backcountry lines, or hitching cat rides to the top of perfect pow fields. The Polartec Neo Shell fabric is highly waterproof and exceptionally breathable, so sweat won't be a problem when you're hiking, and Marmot also built in outer thigh vents to help you dump heat when the skintrack gets steamy. Moisture has a tendency to sneak in the smallest gaps, so Marmot covered all the seams with waterproof tape, finished all the pockets with water resistant zippers, and topped the ankles off with stretchy boot gaiters to seal up all the potential soggy spots. Dual hook and loop tabs at the waist keep your trou from dropping of their own accord it's hard to ski with pants around your ankles and the Storm Queen's articulated knees let you bend, stretch, karate kick, and pow dance without getting stuck.

How skipper Pete Goss and the crew of Hofbrau managed to keep the mast in their 67-footer only the gods will ever know. They had a lucky escape. They also moved into second place overall, 21hr 27min and 21sec behind John Chittenden's Nuclear Electric at the halfway stage.
The 80-foot mast weighing a ton and a half has a gaping crack for nearly three-quarters of its circumference at deck level. A cat's cradle of tensioning ropes have been winched taut. Then some makeshift wooden chocks have been hammered around the mast where it runs through the deck to keep it steady. It had been trying to rotate. The boom was removed to reduce the leverage and a staysail replaced the main as a trysail.
The horizontal tensioning lines radiating at deck level from the mast were in addition to an earlier set slung over the first rigging spreaders to keep the mast upright when the forestay rigging screw broke, one of six such failures, the worst of which cost British Steel II a dismasting.
Hofbrau's rigger, Mark Steadman, worked 30 hours non- stop when the crack was noticed four days and 400 miles out from Hobart. He had not slept since. Just to make matters worse, the engine packed up as they were gingerly covering the last 36 hours.
The two problems arising so close to land meant that while there was a drama, there was no crisis. If they had happened halfway between Cape Horn and Tasmania and the mast had fallen down there would have been a full-scale emergency. As it was, the only real disruption was the constant creaking of the mast as it worked, making sleeping a nervy business towards the end of a leg which took 50 days, 9hr, 29min, 55sec.
Seven hours after Hofbrau, Vivien Cherry, the only woman skipper, guided Coopers & Lybrand home and delivered her walking wounded to the home comforts of fish and chips and a dry bed. Cherry has an inflamed left knee, two crewmen have cracked ribs, another a broken collar bone, and a third a severe case of seasickness.
BRITISH STEEL CHALLENGE ROUND-THE- WORLD RACE: Second leg (Rio de Janeiro to Hobart): Positions (with miles to finish): 1 Nuclear Electric finished; 2 Commercial Union finished; 3 Hofbrau finished; 4 Coopers & Lybrand finished. Dismasted: British Steel II.

Can the internet change kids' brains in worrying ways?
2 parents have answered
Since the advent of the internet, some scientists and journalists have been telling us how dangerous it is. The most recent salvos have been fired by neurologist Susan Greenfield, who opines that it's worryingly addictive and potentially damaging. Her latest piece is an alarmist diatribe against Facebook Home. In my opinion, this is her opinion presented as fact.
Scares like this are nothing new. Back in the 1830s, when novels began to swell in popularity, scaremongers of the day were filling column inches speculating that they might cause youngsters to isolate themselves, spurning society, fresh air and exercise in favour of burying their nose in a book. Concerns pretty much identical to those being voiced today. But who nowadays would complain that kids read too much?
She might be an eminent scientist, but Greenfield's pronouncements follow a well-worn pattern of alarmism. She picks new and poorly known technologies, then dazzles readers with a mixture of expertise and easily digested ideas which, crucially, are based on academic ideas but seemingly have no evidence to back them up.
The ever-sensitive panic-buttons of parents are poked mercilessly. It's become so predictable as to offer a rich source of satire.
Questionable journalism around neuroscience is depressingly common. Even the BBC is not immune. But all the offenders are united by their inability to produce solid evidence when challenged. That scourge of baseless science everywhere, Ben Goldacre, has been challenging Greenfield to do this for years, and has yet to even receive a reply.
As long as alarmism remains a reliable way to ensure readers, journalists without scruples will continue to peddle it. It's up to us to make sure we're informed enough to spot the nonsense and call it out for what it is.
First, it's probably too early to tell. I'm not aware of large volume cohort analysis that's been done on children growing up through the advent of the internet, and given that it's appeal at mass to children is more recent, I suspect it will be a while before we see conclusive evidence one way or another. What early studies there are that I've seen are inconclusive.
What is already apparent, though, are concerning behaviours regarding addiction to the internet or social media. In that sense, it's not that the internet is bad, but behaviours that accompany addiction don't appear to be healthy. And the concern here is whether obsessive usage of the internet is damaging kids brains rather than whether the internet of itself is.
But even there it's too early to tell at a cellular level. Is it changing their behaviour? Sure. You only need to be a parent of a child who uses it compulsively to see that. The extreme tantrums from younger children when it is taken away (not comparable to taking away their favourite toys - way beyond that). The shortening attention spans. How activities that they once perceived as fun become less appealing when compared to the immediate satisfaction of an internet game. How when they need to find something out, they go do it in a way my generation could never have dreamed of. How they are teaching themselves things from Youtube (such as playing the piano in my son's case) and taking it for granted that pretty much anything they want to learn can be learned. So for better and for worse, their behaviours and their expectations are changing. But whether that's translating to a changed brain... I suspect the studies are still to come.
Of course it's translating into a changed brain, Anytime anyone, anywhere learns anything their brain changes. That's another thing that's so infuriating about bad neuro-journalism: it can be made to sound very scary without actually meaning anything at all.
So yes, changed brains. The real question is - is any of it bad? And I seriously doubt that it is.
You're right. Of course learning, recovering, being bumped on the head, etc all changes a brain. I had assumed the questioner meant something more fundamental, but could be wrong.
As to whether any of it is bad, the brain change I can't comment on, as the studies don't point one way or another. But behavioural changes though, which was my key point, are apparent, and I think for both good and bad. From what I've observed in my kids and those in their circle, the obsessive behaviours aren't good (but that's the same of most obsessions, not just the internet), but the a vast amount of the accelerated and facilitated learning has been impressive.

Thought I'd log on today and share some of the everyday things that make me happy.
Love Love Love Taryn's new Mary Jane Rain Boots from Uncommon Goods. They are a little big but she loves stomping around in them already!
Another of my new favorite things, my pretty stiped laptop case.
Finally found the PERFECT shirt for the hubster. hehehe
We're gonna get Ty, and we're gonna get him good. Just waiting for the right moment. The bog monster is coming soon. Bwahahahaha.
I've gotten a few emails and comments asking whether or not I use actions on my photos. Yes and no. Well, sometimes. =) It just depends on the photo really. I like to proof each image individually and give it the attention it deserves. That being said, there are some great actions out there. Here are a few of my faves….
I love Brenda's black and white action and use it the most. I also will sometimes use the lite black and white action that comes in the Itty Bitty bundle of actions. I'm not a huge sepia fan, but I absolutely love Indie's sepia, it's just so creamy and pretty! She turned me into a sepia lover! She also just came out with a new color kick action that I can't wait to play with.
As for color pop actions, I use several of the Itty Bitty actions I have and also really like Tina's color pop. Speaking of Tina, LOVE all her creations! She's a great designer with some amazing templates (remember the ABC Book? That's Tina!).
If you use Photoshop Elements, I recommend PhotoBlast.
Happy Saturday =)
Thank You!!
Thanks for sharing your actions Lyndsay. However, I want to see your striped laptop case but the link is not working.
I have been a lurker from day one. *lol* From theknot to here.
I wanted to say great job on all what you have accomplished so far with the house and life in general. Keep up the good work Lyndsay & family!
