>> This messed up date thing is annoying me. :o I'm going to get myself a new lj soon, because I lose so many entries.*roar* I did. take that. knitI moved everyone who was on my friends list, even if I really don't know them that well. I expect that if I'm on yours you'll add me back.;)
I can't remeber if Amanda has off tommarow night or not, but my mom may take me to see The Italian Job tommarow, because its supposed to be really hot and the movies have AC. :D But Maria, if you want to come...you may be the divining (spppeeel) force that makes us actually go. :o Itd be after 3:00, so you can still go to the doctors (wimp lol). *shrugs*;___________; My house is infested with Ants! ANTS![neo stuff] The rainbow fountain's back. Yay because I spent all my points on Battledome stuff for Physic.XD My plans are as follows: Oujia=Halloween Tans=Plushie Anz=Some new color, possible fire and Rhin=Darigan Uni. :o Physic, Angel, and Nell will stay how they are, and Pesci's still doing the lab ray. *nerd giggle* I should make a lj just for my neo-antics. :B [/neo stuff]Note to self: Don't forget Nomm's picture, or she's ring your neck.
( lots of quiz thingsCollapse )
The Chem exam was really easy. I knew everything that was on it, and I didn't even study at all. I got done in about an hour and a half, so I was dead-bored for a long time. O____O Then I picked up my working papers, and met Amanda in the hallway. We went to the art rooms so we could pick up her letters of recomendation from Mr.K. They're remodeling the art rooms again, it smelled like wood and glue. :DThen we went to see Mr. Stonebreaker so Amanda could get her regents grade. Mr. Holtz conned me into asking what mine was, and made me go through a Price Is Right game to guess it. But I wasn't prepared for what I got. 91!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *bounces around* I got a 91 on the US History Regents!!!!!! *happy dance*Amanda's mom picked us up, her dogs were in the car. (Poor puppy was left all alone.) But I got to go to her house for a while and play with the puppy. Its so BIG! Bigger than Cosmo was when he was 4months, and she's only 2weeks! She was so cute. I held her a lot because she kept falling asleep in my arms and Veta (sp?) let me. But the puppy squeak-barked and growled when Amanda held her. lol. She belongs on a hallmark card. I'll try to snatch some pictures to scan next time I see her.edit: Since my site is down, I put my deviant art as my website.:oedit 2:
I cleaned out my wallet.:D
I downloaded open canvas 2 for no real reason except that I really wanted to see what was different. :o Its really cool. I won't pay $50 for it, but I'll use up the trial with glee. :dNew icon. Matchs my layout better
I don't feel good. My head hurts and my back hurts. >:o](angry face on the phone. lol. Looks better in aim) My arm finally feels better, but now my back and knee hurt. ;__________; I just can't have an hour with no pain. My lj's been black for too long. So now its a very drab gray. Different layout-y thing kinda. New theme. New comment links. New bg (tiled. :o ). Need a new icon to match, but I think my bed's calling me.I should get a new lj, maybe one just for my net life. Hmm....:\ Friends filter doesn't matter, because its not a friends only journal. o______o I don't see the point in those if they have any bearing to a net life. I mean...o_______o I have stalkers with no lj. I should give them what they want. ;dI looked at my friends list for some odd reason and I see that I'm a friend of and friends with someone named artic. o)_(o I was all confuzzled, because I don't remeber anyone by that name. Turns out...*um* forgot her oekaki name because I'm tired, but her lj was wyndstorm changed her lj name to artic. How did she do that? ooowooh.Kiwi made a community.:D :D For bitching. I have to make a new angry icon just for posting there. But tommarow. I need bed. Bed good, awake not. get it.hmmm...the cute little foxies don't match this layout. Ohwell.shiztpat.*uses angry icon because being awake angers her*
I have a coupon for a free one hour ride in a limo. :o I want to use it. Lets go to the Crack Shack in a limo and go to the Crack Shaq to eat it. :D :D I made a new icon last night because my Bar-code one didn't show up on my black layout...that I think I'll change but I'm not sure yet.:o( Info 4 MariaCollapse )
Happy Birthday Cosmo!It may not be his birthday, but my dad says it is, so we're playing like it is. :DThe math exam was easy, except I fucked up the Probability question. And it was stupid mistakes...damn, ten points down the drain. I got done with it in about an hour and a half. So I sat there, chringing in pain from my stupid arm. It hurts so much. I had a heat pack on it for about an hour, and that didn't help. I took three ibuprofen and that didn't help. The doctor said to keep moving it, but it hurts so much.;_____; My stomach hurt like hell too, so I was doing my best to not scream out in pain.Maria's house will cure me. Zolton will make all my pain go away untill I get home.Stuff I have to do before July-Learn ftp-change commenting server to Grey Matter-Make oekaki-Get job-Re-organize room-Darien lake.

I went out driving and shopping with my mom today. It was fun. I had a lot of driving firsts, first turning arrow, first detour, first person flipping me off.:D I drove all the way from my house to Target, about 20 minutes. I got to learn how to change lanes, and go 55 down a really busy highway, and slam on the brakes when the light turned yellow. I really started panicing, so my mom drove us from Target to Wegmans, but I drove home. And there was some fire thing on Mill so when I tried to turn on one road this guy yelled at me, then the next turn had a big crowd of cars trying to turn in the middle of the intersection. SO I had to drive up past the school and down Center. And I was going down the highway from past Wal-Mart (we just passed it, didn't stop thank god) and I was going the speed limit, 45...actually 50. O:) And this ugly fat person in this red truck flipped me off. I didn't say anything. But when they passed me on the on-ramp, they did it again, so I did an elbow motion, because I didn't want to let go of the wheel.I got some cool new flip-flops at Target, for $3. They're blooo. I wanted green, but I got blooo. Then I got some ass-kicking toe socks. They, too, are blooo, but have little gold fishies on them. But they only had one nice pair at Target, so *gasp* I have to wear matching socks.That will be odd.The bug-bite I got at Maria's house is deformed. It looks like a zit on my arm, with a little white blob in the middle that looks like it's going to pop. *hopes it doesn't* I'll mention it to the doctor tommarow if it isn't any better. Itches like hell too. We spent 10 minutes with the Pharmacist at Wegmans looking for After-Bite, but they didn't have any. So I'm stuck with this other, less stingy, less working stuff, that smells just like After-Bite, and comes in a pen tube too. *cries* I love my After-Bite. Damn Target and Wegmans.
I ♥ instant organic soups.:D
ahhhh.......less that...40 minutes untill the exam. Why didn't I study more?? *cry* Oh well. :3 *is wearing her tie-die and sandales today*
:D Today was fun. I spent about an hour uploading stuff to Deviant Art, then I went to Maria's house to study...but we didn't study much.;) We watched the end of Time Machine, then went to her back porch to study. After, about ten minutes we started putting our feet in her pool. Then our arms. Then we went off the porch to the edge of the pool over the grass, and stuck our heads in. I got up to my shoulders wet. XD After laughing like crazy at my funky flipped back wet hair, we decided to just jump in. Amanda and I didn't have our suits, but Maria changed into her's. So we all jumped in and asked questions and discussed history a bit, then we made a whirl-pool, because its fun, and it was cold and I needed to warm up. I sat out for a bit, then they got out, and we sat in the sun for a while. I keep making the mistake of wearing my tank-tops under my shirt in the hot sun, so I was baking under two layers. lol. Then we went to her front porch when the bees starting to attack me, and I sat there shivering for a long while. Then we drew on her driveway.:3 I drew her kitties, Chloe and Clarence. Then we played with Clarence for a while...then left. I'm looking for online practice tests now.( Stolen from ShadowCollapse )
I should go study for the History Regents. But I'm going to upload all the photo's I scanned into my Deviantart first. Then I may call Maria, since I thought we were going over there. And my dad's all antsy to get me out of the house.I was playing with Cosmo for about an hour today. Tackleing him and hiding and jumping out from furniture and scaring him.XD We both had a lot of fun. But he fell off my parent's bed, and has a red lump on his tummy now. And his claw got stuck in his collar. So we stopped. I really tired him out. He's under about 5 pillows right now.lol.I made a flash game for some online buddies, and to mess around with Kool Moves.Click. Its really simple, and has no loading message, so you'll see a blank screen for a while. xD I redid my lj layout. So it's Pg75 nightclub themed.
OmG! Thank god for summer break. *gasps* I could not sit through another day of classes if someone gave me a free meal at the Crack Shack (lol...EA lingo I'm trying outXD). Yesterday we had locker clean out for the an hour before classes started. It took me about ten minutes to get the shelf out of my locker...then I noticed you can fold it up.Xx; We did quiz averages in History. Jump rope in gym (and I didn't even changeXD) I was killed at double dutch. :( Chem was review. Photo was cleaning, and I had to check all the filters, but some senoirs were in the dark room so I just hid in the storage closet for about ten minutes.XD Art was cleaning, but I did nothing because I "cleaned" the class before in photo. (I hope I don't have two art classes in a row next year.'twas murder.) So Deva tried to french braid my hair. It didn't work, but I went to my next three classes in pigtails.XD Jen Vono sat with us in lunch, which sucked. She's so stupid. *cries* Then Derrik came over and freaked out about my care-bear patch a bit, and we talked about care-bears for about five minutes.lol. Then he hugged us all and left for his table. Study hall was a blow off. I fell asleep during English presentations. Math was killer. Oh well. That's it, no more for about 2 months! Unless you count my week at AIP as school.Well, its not really a summer of nothing. This weekend is Allentown, then my birthday's in about 3 weeks (!!!!I need party ideas!!!!!!) then its Taste of Buffalo (so much fun.:P), then AIP program, then Maria's trying to take us to Conneticut with her.:3 And I need to get a job. I'm really psyched for a job now, really. *chants*workworkwork!Moneymoneymoney! I need a domain name, then some shoes. And I want to buy Flash. I'll go get applications later today maybe. Edit:( Stuff I want for my birthdayCollapse )
Mr.K wouldn't let me sleep in photo, and I used all the best excues to, too. "I'm a straight A student, and A students need sleep more than those B students." and such. But instead I got to play on the new EMac's!! ♥ I was almost drooling. Photoshop 7, AND Adobe picture maker. I feel kinda bad for Mr.K, he just doesn't adapt to computers that well. After five minutes of playing with Adobe Picture Maker, I learned at least four shortcuts that he didn't catch. :D I felt so smart. Mr.Hailko once called me a computer guru, and I think I kinda am. Worship me!!I hope Mr.Flick uses my yearbook theme Idea next year (mine and help from Maria), because it'd be so fucking sweet.:3 A Stan themed yearbook.x3

Thanksgiving in Thailand
Thanksgiving in Thailand was an entirely new experience for us, not because we were lacking our usual traditions (watching the Macy's day parade, feasting with family, followed by decking the halls with Christmas decor), but because of what we had experienced in the days leading up to Thanksgiving and we were truly thankful for our blessings.
Driving Our Motorbike Through Laos
When we decided to take our Honda Forza motorbike into Laos, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves in to. We heard the roads in Laos were not great, but everyone that we had talked to that had taken this same route reassured us we would be "fine". We figured it would be an adventure and this way we could cover a lot more ground. Since crossing the border was much more of a project than originally anticipated, we got a late start on our drive to Luang Namtha, which is where we planned to stay the night. We underestimated the amount of time it would take for us to get there, not realizing the entire drive was through the rugged mountains, twisting and turning for 175 kilometers. And then, it started to rain. During this drive, the only civilization we came across were Laotian villages comprised of bamboo huts. And it was getting colder, raining harder and we were losing sunlight. It wasn't like we could stop along the way to find somewhere else to stay. We had no choice but to keep trucking. We eventually made it, although after dark, and grabbed the last room at the first hotel we stopped at. Soaking wet and completely numb we made our way to our room, took what was supposed to be a hot shower (but was actually cold), crawled into one of the twin beds (since the other bed was infested with ants), and held my hair dryer on full blast under the sheets to warm up. While the conditions of this hotel were less-than-stellar, we were so happy to be at our destination, safe, warm and out of the rain. We slept like babies.
We were told there is an 80 kilometer stretch of terrible road conditions full of potholes between Luang Namtha and Laung Prabang so we wanted to leave early and give ourselves plenty of time. After passing through Oudom Xai, we were back in the same situation as the evening prior and this is where things got really sketchy. We were up in the mountains driving in a cloud, far away from civilization. It was cold and damp and we couldn't see 5 feet in front of us. The roads weren't just full of potholes; they were slippery, muddy roads not suitable for any motorbike. We were averaging 20 kilometers/hour driving up and down these steep mountain roads, twisting and turning around the edge of cliffs…with no rails might I add. We were in a bit of a panic for a good 3-4 hours, knowing that the bike would eventually slip and we would be taking mud baths. We really weren't sure we would make it to our next destination so we started mentally preparing ourselves in the event we had to sleep in a Laotian village that night.
While this part of the trip was scary and nerve-wracking, to say the least, it was also extremely eye-opening. Moreover, it was life-changing. We would drive for several kilometers and not see anything or anyone and then, out of nowhere, we would come upon a village. Far from any town or civilization, these villages are completely self-sufficient. Here you do not find any markets, restaurants or banks. There are no beauty salons, hardware stores, or motorbikes roaming the streets. They live in bamboo houses with no aircon or heating and share a single water source for the entire village to bathe, cook and drink water. They farm their own food. They work from sun up to sun down to provide for their family, starting at a very early age. And yet, they all seem happy. They are all smiling. The kids run around playing and laughing. They run out to the roads yelling "sabaidee", waving as we pass on our motorbike. And here we are complaining about the road conditions, getting rained on, and the cooling temperature…first world problems. We pass young girls, wearing less clothing than us, washing their clothes in the cold mountain water. Then a couple of others around age 6 carrying wood back to their village a few kilometers away. There are pigs roaming free inside of their houses. Chickens are hanging by their neck in the windows waiting to be prepared for the next meal. Suddenly, our "situation" did not seem so bad.
We did eventually make it to our destination, Nong Khiaw, and it was insanely beautiful. We stayed in another not-so-clean room that night, but we didn't complain. And we couldn't get the images out of our heads of what we had seen that day. We felt so….spoiled?
Thanksgiving Dinner at DiDiNES
So this Thanksgiving, as we sat down to eat our traditional Turkey dinner, we didn't take it for granted. Every year prior, it was expected. This year, it was such a treat. While we missed spending this day with our family, we were truly thankful to be on this adventure together and traveling the world. We are thankful for these experiences that will change our lives forever. We are thankful for having friends and family that support us. And whenever we get upset or angry about something we remind ourselves that things aren't really that bad, because every day is a day to be thankful for.

very enlightening… what an experience!! Makes one really count their blessings for sure!!
You are becoming quite the writer Brit! We always enjoy reading about your experiences and seeing the pictures. We are all living vicariously through you two!
Watched your vids and read several of your blog entries. I love them and reminds me of a few of my experiences. 15 years ago I met a young man from a Latin country whose family was wealthy. I asked why he didn't return rather than live on his part time $800/month income in the USA (wife made the same). His reply was, "I'm happier, healthier, and safer here being poor than with my father being rich".
Awesome. We 100% agree! Thanks for sharing!
What a crazy experience, but sounds like it was for good reasons. Despite the uncomfortable weather and being so high up on underdeveloped roads, I think these experiences are key in creating awareness of how other cultures live. I learned a lot just by reading about your trip and seeing your pictures!
Glad to hear Thanksgiving dinner was a success! We'll be traveling this year over Thanksgiving too, the first time for us. I hope we have some of the same, enlightening experiences as you did during your trip! 🙂 Glad you guys made it through safely.

Wired.com this morning exposed attempts from a Duke Nukem PR rep to intimidate game reviewers from publishing negative reviews of the game:
A large part of my job is dealing with people who work in public relations. The vast majority of those whose do PR for video game companies are polite, well-intentioned, and extremely professional. They need us to get their games coverage, and we need them for access to the developers and early code to review in a timely manner. The press and PR relationship may sometimes be strained, but it's rarely adversarial.
That is, until the Redner Group's official Twitter account posted something you almost never see: an open threat stating that outlets who reviewed Duke Nukem Forever poorly may not receive review copies of games in the future. Anyone who has done this job for any amount of time has suffered through a dry spell after giving a publisher a bad review, but this is the first time the threat of a blacklist has been made public.
Our thoughts at Steam Addicts? Make better games (in a more timely fashion), and you won't have to worry about crappy reviews.
Update: PR Daily (as well as numerous other sites) is reporting that 2K has responded by ousting Redner as their PR group, thereby ending a relationship that started in 2009.

Burlesque Hall of Fame 2016 26th Annual Tournament of Tease: Boylesque and Groups
I've been to many Burlesque Hall of Fame competition nights, but I think this year's was the fiercest — in all the categories. From the beginning of best debut to the end of the evening when all the fabulous contenders competed for the title of Miss Exotic World Queen of Burlesque, it was a whirlwind of top notch acts up on that Showcase stage. Since I've already covered the Best Debut category, let's chat about the the Groups and Boylesque categories.
Best Small Group
I would have had a hard time judging the Best Small Group category — as Johnny Porkpie and Blanche Debris had a laugh pointing out meant "more than 1 but less than 4, but really that's just 2 or 3 people." All the competitors had absolutely solid performances, with the winners — 2 To Fly — pulling off an amazing and surreally athletic performance with mad hatters and wolves (or donkey, or was it a rabbit with flopsy ears — I couldn't quite tell) thrown into the mix. So fabulous!
One of my all time favorites — Kitten 'N Lou — competed with their triple play clown act which I loved seeing in New York. The colors and costuming were bright and bold and the non-stop action act morphs from polka dotted clowns to censorship in a barrel to high fashion mime.
You have to give it to the Schlep Sisters — they know how to take a great 80's song and get the crowd moving to the beat with their "Schlep-a-Con: I Feel For Jews" version of the iconic Chaka Khan song. It was a fabulously comedic act that brought me back in time to my awkward teens, trying to look cool doing the wave and breakdancing (so badly!)
Taffy Tittlywinks and Emma D'Lemma really tugged on the nostalgic heartstrings by performing an act set to one of my favourite movies and stories — Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Dressed as Wonka and an Oompa-Loompa who does fantastic feats of aerial imagineering with ribbons. Yes, they find the golden ticket in the end.
Best Large Group
The Best Large Group — again made fun of by Johnny and Blanche as "more than 4 people but less than 1" — were all fabulous troupes leaning mostly to the comedic with winners Screaming Chicken Theatre Revue bringing everyone to their feet with a truly hilarious fowl-based performance that must have had two dozen chickens (and one rooster) up on stage by the end.
Another outstanding performance had an unusual twist as well. Don't Blink Burlesque came up with the ingenious idea of doing their entire act as stripping air dancers. You know, the kind you see bobbing around at car lots and malls? Each a different color, they even had pasties on them! It was fabulous — what creativity!
Gina Louise and the Ladyslippers evoked a time gone by with a stunning Art Nouveau inspired piece. It was like a moving piece of art or an Erte statue come to life. Truly beautiful. At the opposite end, Burlesque Noumea had us all breaking out in a sweat watching them perform in 80's gym attire with huge blow up balls, going through some exercise routines during their striptease.
Best Boylesque
The Best Boylesque category is always fabulous to watch — with such top notch performers. All the competitors brought their A-game, but winner Harden Reddy's Pinocchio-like marionette routine was fabulous with his constricted use of a red curtained theatrical box from which he languished on his strings.
Chris Harder really had the crowd roaring with laughter with his pizza man routine. How ingenious to have the pizza be so flexible — he could pull and spin the crust off and use it as a prop. And not only was his g-string a pizza slice, but he pulled on an errant piece of cheese just to have it stretch, and stretch, and stretch…. Hilarious!
I've never seen EmpeROAR Fabulous perform before but I understand why ROAR is capitalized in his name. What a frackin' hilarious hoot he is! His act was performed to Schoolhouse Rock's "Naughty Number Nine" (go ahead, look it up on YouTube — it's fabulous just like all the other Schoolhouse Rock songs are). As the song counted through the numbers, he matched his striptease to reveal glamorous, glittery blue numbers all over his body. Sexy, naughty, and educational to boot!
It was great to see the additional touches here and there that Lou Henry Hoover made to his mermaid/Poseidon act which I first saw at the New York Burlesque Festival. It's still the story of a mermaid shedding it's tail to take up Poseidon's trident and do a fabulous contemporary dance number across the stage – using a conch shell as codpiece. But the addition of aerial work at the beginning to show the mermaid hanging, caught up in a net, struggling to get free, seems to really have brought the piece together.
OK, so we've still got the Miss Exotic World Queen of Burlesque competition left. Until then, enjoy the photos below and check out all our BHOF coverage to date, including the list of winners.

Our faith is not really tested until God asks us to bear what seems unbearable, to do what seems unreasonable, and to expect what seems impossible.
~Warren Wiersbe
Last week our pastor preached on Genesis 22, the account of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. The quote above was mentioned in the sermon, and I also noted the challenging application that when God tests us, He is not punishing us or trying to tempt us to sin. He is giving us a chance to trust Him where maybe we failed to trust Him before, and He will provide for us and keep His covenant with us.
The sermon was well-timed for us, since we had just found out the beginning of a problem with our house that has become a big test of our faith. We're still gathering information and professional estimates, but the more we learn, the worse things sound: more extensive, more complicated, more expensive. At this point, the problems seem staggering, and well beyond what we are equipped to handle.
I struggled as we learned more about the extent of the damage. Didn't we just come through years of financial struggle? Weren't we just getting back on our feet? Haven't we earned a rest after some difficult health problems this year? I have so much to do – do I really need this added stress?
God wants my heart, not my words. Do I really trust that He is sovereign in all situations, and that He plans good for me? Do I trust Him for provision? For justice?
I'm praying that God would give us wisdom as we try to navigate this disaster, and also that God would increase my faith and trust in Him. I'm also grateful that God hears my prayers when I'm stressed and exhausted and discouraged. On our own strength and wisdom we can't handle this, but God can.
I apologize if I owe you an email or haven't returned your call, or if I spaced on something I was supposed to do. Nearly all of the balls I normally juggle got dropped last week, and they may have to roll around the floor for a few weeks (or, gulp, months) while this gets sorted out. Fortunately I have some posts in the queue so A Spirited Mind will keep calm and carry on even if its author is struggling to do the same! In the meantime, we would appreciate your prayers for us.

Infraspinatus and Serratus ventralis, the muscles of the high pH group, had lower shear force values and higher sensory analysis scores for tenderness, juiciness and overall acceptability than low pH muscles (Deep pectoral and Biceps femoris). Increasing the phosphate level in the marination system increased moisture content of the cooked roast and sensory juiciness scores and decreased the cooking loss of the roasts. Low humidity cookery had higher sensory juiciness, tenderness and acceptability scores and lower cooking losses than high humidity cookery. The Infraspinatus and Serratus ventralis are recommended for use in a marination system with low humidity cookery.

Transatlantic debate energizes Scotia-Glenville students
Scotia-Glenville High School students apparently are not fans of nuclear power, but those chaps in England are.
The American students ranked nuclear power last out of six alternative energy sources the country should explore, while students from Oaks Park High School outside London ranked it No. 1.
Students from two of Rick Warren's 12th-grade English classes participated Tuesday in a 90-minute discussion with the English students via video conference over the Internet. The event was part of the annual Cross Atlantic Alternative Energy Debate involving high school students worldwide.
Students worked in small groups to research one of six alternative energy sources — nuclear, biomass, solar, wind, tidal and geothermal — then made brief presentations on each to their peers across the Atlantic in teacher Mina Patel's science class.
England is five hours ahead of the United States, so the British students stayed after school to finish the debate.
Wind was the top energy source favored by U.S. students. Everett Ackerman, 18, said technology has made wind power very efficient.
"Sensors monitor wind speed and direction to adjust the position of turbines," he said.
Wind energy costs about 5 cents per kilowatt hour to produce, it is a renewable energy source and does not produce greenhouse gas, according to Ackerman.
The disadvantage is that the equipment can be damaged in thunderstorms and can kill birds that fly into them. Large turbines can also be noisy and interfere with television reception, and the power generation can be somewhat sporadic.
"The strength of the wind is not always constant, so it doesn't produce the same amount of electricity all the time," he said.
Henry Pacheco, 17, also made the case for wind, saying New York has favorable geography for it.
"We have a lot of wind potential here. We might as well seize it while we can," he said.
Solar was ranked second by the American students, who reported that advancements in solar technology have resulted in photovoltaic panels that are one-tenth the thickness of previous versions. However, only about 0.01 percent of the United States' energy is produced through solar power. The students pointed out that New York is one of the fastest growing states for solar power, thanks to tax credits and incentives the state has introduced. The downside of solar is that initial installation costs can be high.
Biomass, which consists of burning wood waste and other organic material, was ranked third by the Scotia-Glenville students.
Fourth was geothermal energy. The American students liked geothermal because the heat from the Earth is virtually limitless and there is no waste produced. The disadvantage is that geothermal energy also has a high startup cost.
Tidal energy was another alternative energy source explored, but both groups of students believed it had huge challenges to being viable. A vast amount of infrastructure would have to be installed along the coast to generate the power. Also, the British students pointed out that the power could only be generated when the tides are flowing — about 10 hours per day.
Coming in last for the American students was nuclear power. The British students ranked nuclear power first, however, followed by biomass, wind, solar, tidal and geothermal power.
They pointed out that there is an abundant supply of uranium, which is used in creating nuclear power. Only a small amount of uranium is needed. Also, they contended that nuclear plants are much safer and less likely to have accidents than fossil fuel industries.
The English students believed the other sources of energy weren't as reliable and could not produce the required amount of electricity the country needs. One British student pointed out it would take about 15,000 wind turbines to produce as much energy as one nuclear power plant.
Neither side convinced the other to change its top choice of alternative energy, but the students said they enjoyed the experience.
"It's pretty cool. I like that we get to interact with other students," said 17-year-old Scotia-Glenville senior Morgan Fonda.
There were a few hiccups during the debate. The school's Internet connection was repeatedly dropped because of a software glitch, requiring Warren to make the call again to re-establish the link.
Pacheco said he was impressed by how well-prepared the British students were.
"I think it was a good experience to hear opinions from people that we don't normally associate with," he said.
Ackerman said he thought the British students were more prepared than their American counterparts.
"I like how they stayed after their school day ended just to talk with us. And they were very polite," Ackerman said.
Warren hopes to next make these video chats a weekly occurrence on current topics.

Last weekend, I hosted a Stamp-A-Stack class and a Big Shot Bonanza class. I'll be sharing all of the projects with you from both classes in the next few posts.
In the Stamp-a-Stack class, we make 6 cards–2 each of 3 designs. Everyone loved the Easter chick card made with the Top Note die and various Stampin' Up! punches. Isn't she cute?
Body: So Saffron cardstock with Top Note Die
Arms: So Saffron cardstock with scallop circle punch
Hair & Beak: Tangerine Tango cardstock with 5-Petal Flower punch
Feet: Tangerine Tango cardstock with Boho Blossoms punch
Eyes: Pick-a-Petal image stamped with Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punched with 1" circle punch, 1/2" circle punched from Bashful Blue cardstock, 1/4" circle punched from Basic Black cardstock, dotted with white gel pen
Eyelashes: Basic Black cardstock with Boho Blossoms punch
Eggs: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Delicate Dots Designer Series paper punched with large oval punch
Greeting is from Loads of Love Accessories stamp set
We made the Easter basket at the Big Shot Bonanza class. It was created using the Scallop Envelope die, Bashful Blue cardstock, Delicate Dots Designer Series paper, and the Sale-a-Bration ribbon bundle.
If you live near Kokomo, Indiana, I would love to have you join me for an upcoming class. There are classes for card-makers, scrapbookers, and everything in-between. You can view all of my classes on meetup.com.
Ok that is just too funny. The chick reminds me of Tweety bird when he drinks the Dr. Jekyl potion (Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show) and changes from a cute litte bird to a big scary one. I love your card – it is adorable!

How are your goals for yourself when you are trying to lose weight? Do you have conflicting goals? Are you ambivalent? Are your goals compatible with who you are?
"I want to work really hard on how to start losing weight, but I also don't want to give up the kinds of snack food I love." This is definitely a case of conflicting personal goals. Your pursuit of one goal will impede successful pursuit of the other goal.
"I'm not sure I want to work really hard on how to start losing weight. Sometimes I think I do and sometimes I think I don't." Feeling ambivalent puts the ball in no one's court because you're of two minds.
"I should be brave, take the plunge, and work really hard to start losing weight, but this is not me right now." When there is a discrepancy between who you are and who you believe you should be, of course you won't be able to fulfill your weight loss goals.
If your goals are compatible with who you are and you are not in conflict or ambivalent about them, this is the best circumstance of all for trying to lose weight. However…the stars in the heavens don't have to be in an absolutely perfect alignment before you take up the weight loss challenge. Sometimes taking the plunge before you're all ready is a good enough way to proceed.

Cheryl Laurenza, LCMHC, LPC, NCC
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
155 Main St, Salem, New Hampshire
There is a lot of folks who need help with blended families, families with ACOA issues, family of origin patterns that have been passed down that are life stealing, and an inability to manage the marital relationship when there is a health issue with a child, or one another. Anything can cause an imbalance in the family dynamic and we work together to give a voice to each member and look for solutions to bring healing to the family unit.

It is my firm belief that all members of a family unit affect and influence each others' behaviors. If one member is dealing with a difficult situation, it can affect everyone else in the family system. It is my intent to help families learn how to effectively communicate with each other, resolve conflicts, and recognize early signs of upcoming challenges, in order to restore balance and positive relationships within the family.

MarshallsPart of TJX Companies
I have been working at Marshalls full-time (More than a year)
Great merchandise at reasonable price.
Open 7 days a week. Less holidays off
I worked at Marshalls full-time (More than a year)
I spent a year and a half here and met some great friends. It was a great way to get started in retail. You get two 15-minute breaks and a 45-minute lunch break if you work a full 8 hour shift. You can't get fired if you tried, the only way they'll fire you is if you steal pretty much. It's easy to get away with taking longer breaks.
They will only schedule one person in a department at a time and expect them to do the work of three people. The discount is only 10%, Marshalls is so cheap. They will push you SO HARD to get customers to sign up for the TJX store credit card and set up stupid competitions every month with childish prizes. Customers were rude, felt entitled and MESSY. They do not pay enough and expect way too much.
Advice to Management
Stop smoking so much and eating so much, and stop pushing your employees so hard. We work hard enough and you sit on your fat butts and go outside for smoke breaks and collect salary. Remember, ANYONE could do your job.
Helpful (1)
Well at the store I work in:
-Jean Days (company has a fair uniform but not strict)
-Managers bring in food for associates
-Reward opportunities
-Mangers are friendly and easy to work with Most of the time
As a Coordinator/Supervisor
-You work too much for the wage they pay you
-Often get rude customers
-Sometimes you must work certain times that are inconvenient like 12 a.m. at midnight or 4 a.m. in the morning
-Managers expect too much from their associates
Advice to Management
Well this is more towards the corporate.. Give higher raises/pay

Welcome to our new column about identity theft. Just a few years ago an identity theft column would have seemed unnecessary. If a person kept an eye on his or her credit cards and didn't fall for the "Royal Family in Nigeria" who wants to share millions, your identity could be reasonably safe. However, identity is no longer in your hands.
Every week we read about massive thefts of personal information. Tuesday of last week it was revealed that JPMorgan Chase was hacked this summer and information on 70 million account holders was compromised. By Thursday, that number was revised to 76 million along with seven million businesses. By Saturday, it was that number plus eight more institutions and not even a guess about how many accounts.
What can an individual do? Absolutely nothing. If you are an account holder you probably will get a replacement credit card, some basic credit monitoring for a year and an assurance that it can't possibly happen again—until it does. And this is the galling part: they will say that "There is nothing to worry about. No customer will lose any money," as Target said when they lost the information on nearly 100 million customers, LivingSocial when they lost the information of 50 million and Home Depot, which still won't reveal their final losses.
Losing your money is the least of your worries. Your liability with these companies is trivial. They will eat the losses and your bank will give you a new credit card. Your worry is that hackers now have the information they need to liquidate your retirement plan and your IRAs, obtain a driver's license in your name in multiple states, commit crimes, apply for a passport, have surgeries on your medical plan, allow undocumented immigrants to work using your Social Security number and not pay taxes on the income. That should be your worry.
So, welcome to this new column, where we will not be able to fix any of what the Chase Banks or Home Depots of the world do to lose your information, but we will try to help our readers understand how identities get stolen, define some of the techno-babble surrounding it and make suggestions about how to minimize your risk. We plan to make specific suggestions on what you can do to minimize your exposure and ask you to send in your stories and questions on this topic so we can share them with others.
In just a few short years we have gone from, "No need for this column" to "We can't write it fast enough to keep up with the problem." However, we will do our best. See you next week.
Suggestion for this week: If your wallet were stolen today, how fast could you cancel your credit cards, driver's license and any other information in it? Go to Walmart or Kmart to buy a fireproof lock box (about $25.00). Then find a photocopier and copy the fronts and backs of everything in your wallet, put them in the lock box and store it in a safe place at home or at work. We will use that lock box a lot in future weeks.

We have a new house and I keep having to clean black grease out of the shower. It takes a solvent to get it out.

Am I the only one who hates justified text? I find the cleanliness of the aligned ends to be more than offset by the weird spacing. I'm sure it can be made to work with forethought and focus. That brings back memories of fiddling with typeset, adding up all the characters and spaces, figuring out how to word the thing in order to best utilize the space.
Anyway, just being a little snarky in response to an e-flyer I received today. Perhaps just being a bit too cranky and perfectionist. Maybe I just need another cup of coffee.

- Scientists have now warned that fish consumed in Nairobi could have chemicals that cause cancer
- The fish found in ponds in Nairobi, Kiambu and Machakos are contaminated with banned agricultural chemicals which cause cancer
A recent study conducted by researches from University of Nairobi has showed that most of the fish consumed in Nairobi contains chemicals which are known to cause cancer.
Tilapia fish from ponds in Kiambu and Machakos are said to be contaminated with banned agricultural chemicals as reported by the Nation.
It appears the fish from Lake Victoria is free from contamination.
READ ALSO: Allah name appears in watermelon to support Muslims amidst Ramadan (photos)
The chemicals in ponds in the two counties are contaminated because the ponds are surrounded by farms which use agricultural products. Some of these products have been banned by the Pest Control Products Board in Kenya and many countries.
Leaching of these chemicals easily take place, seeping into the earth ponds commonly found in Kiambu and Machakos.
The two counties especially Kiambu, use heavy agricultural chemicals in farming, which could be the main cause of the leaching.

The research confirmed residues of DDT, Lindane, Heptachlor and Dieldrin, Endrin in all the samples. These residues are known to cause human poisoning, and cancer with some highly toxic to the body.
Lindane residue was found in all tested samples with a high concentration in the brains, commonly preferred by consumers.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified Lindane and DDT as harmful agricultural products with DDT being linked to a cancer which attacks the body's immune system, testicular and liver.
Only 213 fish samples from 60 ponds in Kiambu and Machakos were tested in the research conducted by University of Nairobi.

NEW YORK - Rex Ryan crossed one major item off his personal wish list.
Finally beat Peyton Manning. Check.
Next up for the confident coach and his New York Jets: A chance at revenge against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. But first came a celebration after a 17-16 victory over Manning and the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
"I just want to enjoy beating him once," linebacker Bart Scott said after the game. "It just feels good to finally get it."
That's exactly how Ryan felt after previously being 1-5 against Manning since 2005, when he was Baltimore's defensive coordinator. That one win came with an asterisk since the Colts rested their quarterback in the second half late last season despite being undefeated.
After Nick Folk's 32-yard field goal as time expired, Ryan walked off the field in Indianapolis a winner, advancing to the next round of the playoffs and ending Manning's season.
"He feels like how I normally feel against him," said Ryan, a year after being beaten by the Colts in the AFC championship game.
Now, it's on to Foxborough, Mass., where the Jets (12-5) and Patriots (14-2) will play out the latest chapter of their always interesting - and heated - rivalry. Moments after a blowout loss a month ago, Ryan said he wanted to go out and immediately play the Patriots again.
"We've been wanting the Patriots for a while now," tight end Dustin Keller said.
Then again, be careful what you wish for. The teams split the season series, with each winning at home, but the Jets' 45-3 loss on Dec. 6 sent them spiraling down a stretch in which they lost three of four. New York was tied with New England for the best record in the conference at the time, but the Patriots sent a loud message that they're still in another class.
At least for now.
Ryan made it clear from the time he took over as New York's coach that he didn't come here "to kiss Bill Belichick's rings" and that his plans didn't include the Jets playing second fiddle to the Patriots in the AFC. A win next Sunday would allow Ryan to put a huge check to another thing on his list.
Impossible? Not at all. After all, the Jets have already won three of four road playoff games in Ryan's two seasons.
"That is unheard of and huge, especially in his first two years," Keller said. "He is the one who motivates us and gets us to do it."
Ryan added fuel to the rivalry a few days ago when he said no one studies the game the way Manning does, even though Brady "thinks he does." There's probably plenty more yapping to go in the days ahead, and story lines are never in short supply when these teams get together.

D.J. Holt is playing so much faster this season that he's playing two positions at the same time.
Holt, Cal's starting strong-side inside linebacker, was forced to split time at his own position with the weak-side inside spot last week while senior Mike Mohamed sat out with a sprained toe. Holt played well in an otherwise dismal defensive showing against Nevada and might have to rotate between positions again Saturday at Arizona with Mohamed's health still up in the air.
"He did well. That will help us if we need to do that again," Cal linebackers coach Kenwick Thompson said. "I was very pleased that he was able to do that."
Holt is blossoming at the right time, because the Bears need him. He is the only inside linebacker besides Mohamed on the depth chart that has any measure of experience, and there really weren't any other players defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast could have plugged in.
"He kind of had to make some adjustments on the run there but played really well," Cal coach Jeff Tedford said.
Playing well has become a trend for Holt this season. Holt was ranked the 21st-best linebacker in the country by rivals.com coming out of Crespi High-Encino in 2007, but it took him a few years to feel his way into college football. Now a redshirt junior, Holt appears to be coming into his own.
He had 16 tackles in Friday's loss at Nevada. The previous week in a win over Colorado, he had seven tackles and broke up a pass. Holt enters Saturday tied for fifth in the Pac-10 in tackles (9.0 per game).
"I really do feel more comfortable," Holt said. "Last year, I was kind of working my way into the system, but I still wasn't comfortable. This year, I'm taking on more of a bigger role. I have to lead the defense. I just feel more aggressive. I'm not reading as much. I'm just playing fast — using my abilities the best I can."
In three games this season, Holt already has stood out more than he did all of last year, when he started eight games and played in all 13. The biggest difference is he appears to be faster, which has helped him make more plays in the open field.
Holt has always been a big linebacker — he's listed this season at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds. But Thompson said Holt is playing about 10-12 pounds lighter than last season and worked hard during the offseason to increase his speed and agility.
"He's really, really worked hard on trimming down and losing weight," Thompson said. "It's really helped his change of direction and speed. On some plays, you can see that. But even though he was a bigger guy, he's always been a great athlete."
Holt said his offseason work has indeed made him faster, but just as important is his experience. He no longer is thinking as much on the field, just reacting. And that has allowed him to play faster.
"Last year, I was fast, but it might have seemed like I was slower because I was thinking too much," Holt said. "This year, I'm ready to go. I've always had that speed that people really don't notice until you see it on film or I might catch somebody from behind. But I've always had it. Now, I'm able to just go."
When the Bears lost Zack Follett, Anthony Felder and Worrell Williams after the 2008 season, it seemed as though it might be Holt's time. Although he received his share of playing time last year, he never played well enough to give the impression he was going to stick in the lineup.
But one more spring practice and another offseason of workouts allowed Holt to turn the corner.
"You don't want to be seen as a bust," Holt said. "That was on my mind. But at the same time, I was just thankful for the opportunity to come here and play. I didn't really care, but at the same time you hear other people talking when you're expected to do big things."

UltimateNYG NY Giants blog did a Q&A Exchange with Saints Nation to preview the game this Monday night. Their answers to our questions are linked here.
1) How are the Saints going to win a Super Bowl when their defense is so porous?
Who said they are going to? It's going to take a Giants beating the Patriots in the 2007 season type miracle to take out the Packers. They are clearly better than everyone else by far this season. The reality is the Saints aren't going to fix their defense per se, but they are going to need to generate more turnovers. That's the key, and that can be done. In that department they've been a little unlucky. Fumbles haven't gone their way
and they've dropped an inordinate amount of interceptions. It's sickening, really. I don't know what the NFL record for dropped interceptions is, but get me a stat guy. The Saints have to be approaching it this season. Anyway, we'll see, but I think the Saints and myself as a fan/blogger approach every game as "winnable" as long as Drew Brees is healthy and under center. They may not always be the favorite, but I firmly believe the Saints are good enough at their best to beat any team in the NFL on any given Sunday with the offense they have. Once you get into the playoffs it's all a crapshoot.
2) The Saints are 0-10 this season on coin tosses. Has this had any effect on the team getting out slowly without an early lead on offense?
Actually they're 0-11 if you count the overtime coin toss against the Falcons two weeks ago. It definitely sucks because most of those opening drives haven't been three and outs, so the offense many times has gotten the ball down 3-0 with 11 minutes left in the first quarter. Sometimes down 7-0 with 8 minutes left. I read somewhere that the odds of that happening are like 0.4%. Awesome. At this point I'm not convinced they'll win a toss all season. This is getting beyond ridiculous. It's gotten to be a bitter/comical topic amongst fans.
3) Do you agree with our draft analyst Wonder's assessment that Jimmy Graham is the best receiving TE in the NFL?
Hmm, good question. He's up there for sure but he's still raw. What's scary is how good he is with so little experience (he only played college ball 1 season). I think Gonzalez and Gates in their prime are better, but Graham is still getting better and those two are past their prime. It's a close call but yeah, he's definitely in the discussion.
4) The Secondary appears to be the weakest link on the defense. Which player should the Giants target?
Actually their corners are probably the strongest part of the defense. Jabari Greer is one of the most underrated corners in the league and he always matches up against the opposition's best receivers and usually does an amazing job. The only problem is these guys can't seem to catch. Again, they have dropped a ridiculous amount of interceptions this year. The Saints go a very strong three deep at corner. Tracy Porter and Patrick Robinson are both very good as well. Malcolm Jenkins, the free safety, is a former corner as well that's very good. Roman Harper, the strong safety, is good at playing the run, blitzing, and being in the box, but he's the one you can definitely victimize in coverage. He's been burned repeatedly by top notch tight ends. Teams with premiere receiving tight ends are nightmare matchups for the Saints. Lucky for them Jake Ballard is not one of those. The linebackers are somewhat poor in coverage, too, so having Bradshaw catch passes out of the backfield would hurt the Saints if he plays.
5) Can you make up your mind who your RB is? Is it Ingram? Thomas? Sproles was a top signing for dollars vs impact. What is your identity behind Brees?
Haha, the Saints are very much a running back by committee team. That's part of why they've been the #1 offense in the NFL 4 out of the last 6 years, and in the top 3 every single year since Sean Payton came on board. It's all about exploiting matchups and giving your offense more variety to confuse the defense. It's a brilliant scheme and there's a reason most teams can't stop it. Each of those guys you just mentioned are good at doing very different things so they each have their place in the system. Sproles is your change of pace speedster that must be accounted for because he's a big time playmaker that causes nightmare matchups. He's the guy that runs sweeps and catches flares, or matches up in the slot against a linebacker and beats him 9 times out of 10. Ingram and Ivory are your physical downhill runners, and Thomas is more of a jack of all trades that specializes in setting up his blockers, executing delays, screens and being patient with his runs.
6) The NFL is worried about Brees passing the ball. Why should the Giants care whether or not the Saints the run the ball and fake playaction?
So you're suggesting a good defensive strategy is to completely ignore the run and get your rushers upfield, risking gashing runs from the Saints at times? That's actually not a bad idea. The Saints are definitely a pass first team and they set up the run with the pass, not the other way around. The one challenge Sean Payton has always struggled with is finding good balance, and at times his lack of commitment to the run in hindsight has cost them. I definitely think there's a very good chance that the Saints would pass even if you dared them to run all day long by using some combination of rushing four/five and dropping everyone else into coverage on very play. You might be on to something.
7) If Sproles is in the game, we think the Giants need a nickel back shadowing him instead of a LBer. Why haven't other teams defensed Sproles this way?
Not enough, that's for sure, but yes, the Saints are seeing it more and more. And guess what, that's been relatively effective at slowing him down. The only problem there is at least with LBers Sproles was never going to break a tackle. He's small so he's going down easily regardless, but he's physical enough that I could see him breaking more tackles with a cover man on him. But yes, I agree, anytime he's in the game you need to have a nickel man on him. The risk there, though, is if the Saints decide to run with Sproles. That's one less physical LB in the game and the Saints have very big and physical receivers that block well (Colston, Henderson and Meachem) and you just made their job easier. But yes, I agree with you that's probably the way to go. There is going to be some inherent risk in any scheme because you can't really completely shut down this offense. You just have to maximize your chances at getting stops by focusing on their tendencies. Obviously if the Saints recognize what you're trying to eliminate they can exploit other areas. That's the risk you take.
8) How do you think the Saints can stop Nicks, Manningham and Cruz?
I actually don't feel too bad about that. Greer, Porter and Robinson are all three excellent cover corners. I think this is a good matchup for the Saints in that department. Teams with explosive tight ends, big strong physical runners and/or explosive receiving backs are the offenses that tend to cause the Saints the most problems.
