Dearest Becky & Geno,
I am truly sorry for your lose. I know how painful it is to loose a parent. My Mother past away from a 12 year battle with alztimers 8 years ago. God is Awesome, see how He brought The Aul Family together. AMEN! :)

I just heard the news of Geno
I just heard the news of Geno's Dad passing..Please embrace Geno for me and have him embrace you for me..tell him I am so very very sorry..and with all seriousness gently hold Geno's face in your two hands and in your best Italian voice please say to him Tammy says--"My Dear Geno may these tears of sadness you now weep soon be replaced with tears from hard belly-aching laughter, and may this sadness you feel ease with time.." okay now not so serious (and being you)with your hands still on his face but now in a sexy Italian voice say to him " It is now time for some vino, so please come, come with me to the bedroom my sweet Geno."

Becx-I'll be back on facebook
Becx-I'll be back on facebook after Lent :)
Another problem that I have
Another problem that I have noticed with social networks is that people mostly share the good and exciting things in their lives. On sites like Facebook you have a list of what all of your friends are saying and doing. This list becomes a list of all of the good things that everyone else has, and everything exciting that they get to do. So much of this in one place begins to tear at the self-worth of an individual.
We have too many instances where people who are already isolated visit sites like Facebook and lose their self-worth by seeing the good of everyone else's lives rather than their own. This usually has harmful, if not fatal, consequences. I feel that this is a problem that social networks create that needs to be fixed.
After seeing the unintended consequences of social networks, I offer these two suggestions to people: first, actually communicate with people, talk with them, call them or even send them an email; and second, be sure to take breaks and actually remind yourself of the good in your life and don't lose your self-worth. Social networks allow yet another facet of communication, but it is always better to socialize traditionally.
read bottom to up -3 comments cause that's how it had me do it.
Take care and God bless
Aspects of social media
Aspects of social media important in today's world
By my son
Facebook, Twitter, Skype, and even the old Myspace – most likely everyone has heard of them, and most people have an account on one, if not more, of these. These are what people like to call social networks. Their whole existence is to connect people from all over the globe and make it easier for them to be social. At least, that is what they were designed to do.
Experts of late have been making similar claims, stating that we have more lines of communication than ever, and yet we have less communication. These experts, along with many other people, are noticing that the easier it is to communicate, the less people are doing it. This leads me to wonder why that is.
I, as well as many of my fellow peers, have a Facebook page. We use it to share pictures, videos and just general messages about how we are feeling and what we are doing. Even with this, it just seems like something is missing. I have tons of friends on my page, many of whom I see almost every day, and I seem to have a constant flow of information from them. However, I have noticed that when I talk with one of my friends, it seems as if weeks have gone by because neither of us knows what is actually going on with the other person.
It seems that in contrast to traditional communication, like talking on the phone, sending a letter, or by today's standards, sending an email, that social networking is satisfying that need without actual communication. We have the cases of individuals who are on sites like Facebook almost every waking moment, and yet they are quite isolated and aren't actually involved with people. This seems like a reoccurring problem that is getting worse and worse.
Beckx-got your message I
Beckx-got your message I deactivated FB to coincide with my son's newspaper opionon/article to show him It's possible and I gave up FB for Lent and I'm not a February person anyways-Valentines, etc.. LOL

I did get a job at Lund
I did get a job at Lund Cadillac. Unfortunetly I went one day and could afford to go back. .I found out that the only money I would see was on the 20th and that was only going to be $200 minus taxes. The rent in the extended stay is $73 after taxes. I have to have daily money to cover that and gas, food and shit. Sucks as I worked my ass off to get in and thought they would have a better deal to help the new guy. They were totaly unogranized. I found out you had to put your name on a list to get to take a customer but they didn't tell me till I asked. By that time I was 16th saleman on the list and in my 12 hour shift they only had 6 customers. The system is managed by the senior sales reps and against the "new" guy. It put me behind on making money soliciting No Soliciting Signs which has been supporting us. The Mormons have turned their backs on us now that we are not converting and even said we have to give the car they loaned us back at the end of the month. Everyday I give 110% and have a great entrepruanel spirit and I never quite so we will pull out. Shitty thing is even though I'm hustling everyday the daily cost of living her at extended stay is trapping us here cuz I can't save enough for even a cheap apt. with depostis and stuff. Thinking about robbing a bank. mad at my nickels cuz they ain't dimes!!!!
Just a heads up. Blowout pre
Just a heads up. Blowout pre pre party in Jupiter on the fourth, if you're flying in early. Can't spill the details just yet, but it's going to be BIG! Someone from the boat, mother fucker, has agreed to perform at the "Campground" for us. Thinking you and others may want to arrange a car for the hour ride north. If your schedules allow. In the meantime, go to face book and "like" the Campground in Jupiter Florida. It's listed under "places." This is going to be a Real Big Time on Scott's Real Big Deck! PM me on fb if you need my contact info. Love Care and Respect, kc

Before Paleo (january 2011) I was already on my own path to moving away from SAD foods I just didnt have a particular name for it. I think over the past 10 years or so I have become perceived as food snob of sorts. if you have a full family on all sides that eat SAD and althought they all came from "grandma's" ways of cooking and eating fresh and in season have all resorted to packaged this and that. They dont seem to rememeber what plain foods (not bland but not frankenfood) taste like. The family knows that I cant eat red meat due to and IBS issue that has been ongoing for 8+ years and that I prefer fresh (or perceived fresher) foods than MCNASTY, Booger King and Taco Smell, (our lovely names for such places).
If you go out to dinner do you ever feel guilty that because if you a more expensive place has been chosen? (i do realize the expense is relative...better food better health but if they arent eating paleo then they dont realize that concept)
I just keep trying to feed my family as close to Paleo as they will allow and keep trudging forward with myself trying to improve my food sources.
*edited to state that most of this was before paleo so even though i was stating that i wanted better food, i just wasnt losing weight....now that i am losing a little weight here and there it may be sinking in... Theresa

Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis
Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis and related Short Communications, and will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practitioners in the field of engineering failure analysis and others who are interested in the ways in which components fail.
The journal will not only publish new and novel case studies, but will also provide a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic failures. The journal will generally not publish design analyses, materials science studies or failures induced during laboratory testing. The scope of the journal will include case studies of component failures in the fields of mechanical, civil, aerospace, mining, oil and gas, medical, electrical, transportation, power generation, process and forensic engineering, although failure of engineering components in other areas will also be considered.
Case Studies in Engineering Failure Analysis is an open access journal. If articles are accepted for publication, authors are requested to pay an Article Processing Fee of USD 500 (GBP 320, EURO 400, JPY 39,000) per article (exclusive of UK VAT at 20% which will be charged by Elsevier Ltd). Following payment of this fee, the article is made freely available to all on www.sciencedirect.com.

On a stony trail through the Sinai wastes
A little family headed south
Father, mother, little babe
A burdened donkey, head drooped down
Christmas trees and tinsel
Yule logs and holly
Turkey and Christmas pudding
May you be gifts to those you see
Better than presents under a tree
May we be enraptured
By overshadowing Love;
May our souls magnify the Lord
Through our widening eyes,
Leader: Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ.
People: We celebrate the birth of Jesus, who showed us how to express God by letting the Christ within be our guide.
A baby waits in a dark, warm womb
Lulled by the sway of a donkey's walk
Leader: It is a night of anticipation, a night of waiting.
People: We wait, as Mary and Joseph waited for the birth of their son.
I am what comes before sand and sandstone
Chickens and eggs.
I am the unproven truth
On which all proofs depend.
Advent comes again
time for watching and waiting
fill your days with hope
My soul sings in gratitude.
I'm dancing in the mystery of God.
The light of the Holy One is within me
and I am blessed, so truly blessed.
Leader: In this Advent season, we honor a time in history when people anticipated the birth of a child.
People: The child grew to be a man who gave hope to his people.
English and Spanish verses of the song traditionally sung as Joseph and Mary search for shelter.

Emerson Process Management Safely Tests Transmitters and Valve Controllers
Smart Safety Instrumented SystemThe Smart Safety Instrumented System provides automated safety loop testing of transmitters and valve controllers for IEC 61508, and SIL3 ratified safety systems. Safety data and alarms are presented on the company's DeltaV operator interfaces, stored in its historians, and passed to the AMS Suite for integrated documentation and management.
For safety applications, smart SIS solutions provide assurance of a SIL3 approach that Emerson professional safety personnel and services organizations help customers plan and implement smart SIS solutions to comply with the new IEC 61511 safety standards. Expert services include assisting the customer with process hazard analysis and risk assessment, along with smart SIS design, implementation, and commissioning.
Facilitated by PlantWeb technologies, the smart SIS solutions are easily integrated with mainstream Basic Process Control Systems to enable facility-wide overview, while maintaining separation of safety-critical elements as required by IEC standards.
Intelligent components of the PlantWeb architecture that combine to deliver ease of use of Emerson's smart SIS solutions include the following:
1. DeltaV SIS systems that communicate with SIS sensors and SIS final control elements. This SIS system uses the same engineering tools and interfaces as Emerson's DeltaV digital automation system for process control, enabling the viewing of SIS system data from any system workstation.
2. SIS sensors such as the certified Rosemount® 3051S pressure and 3144P temperature transmitters, plus other flow and level measurement devices and analyzers. Other SIS sensors will be certified soon and are currently available for SIL3 safety applications based on "proven in use" experience.
3. SIS final control elements with partial stroke testing, including SIL-PACâ"¢ emergency shutdown valves (ESD) composed of Bettis, Hytork or El-O-Matic actuators and a certified Fisher DVC6000 SIS digital valve controller, combined with any manufacturer's valve to offer an integrated and tested unit.
4. DeltaV SIS software that includes an exclusive palette of TÃœV-certified smart function blocks, enabling users to employ simple drag-and-drop techniques to accomplish tasks that required pages of coding in traditional safety systems.
5. AMS Device Manager software that documents and archives system configuration and all changes, as well as system health information and alarms.

Eighteen days into his new position as Sheriff of Upson County, Dan Kilgore remains excited and is seeing that excitement reflected in the attitudes of his staff and employees. Kilgore said in an interview with The Thomaston Times last week that he has enjoyed every minute of his time in office since he officially took over at 12:01 a.m. on January 1, 2013.
"Of course, the first day was a real challenge, because you take office at midnight and the first day is a holiday," said Kilgore. "I came to work at midnight and greeted the staff that worked the night shift, and came back that morning and visited with the folks that were working during the day. That seems to have been the right thing to do. I certainly think the people see that you care and want to do a good job.
"I've met with all of the departments together. I met with the investigators, I met with the patrol people, and the jail staff. Basically, I went through my philosophy and goals. We discussed what I wanted to get accomplished and made sure that they were completely familiar with that. I discussed what the office of Sheriff meant and what their appointment as either a deputy or a jailer would include, and what responsibilities would come along with that.
"I offered everyone here that was currently employed an appointment. My statement to them was that everyone who was employed should have an opportunity to keep their job. I want them to keep their job. But to keep their job, we've got to work. We're going to work hard and get along with other people. We haven't had any of those issues, and everybody so far is very motivated."
Kilgore, who was Chief Deputy of Upson County for 21 years before being elected Sheriff in November following the retirement of Don Peacock, isn't ready to appoint a new Chief Deputy.
"I have budgeted for one, but I know immediately I'm not going to appoint a Chief. What I've done is developed a Command Staff utilizing the five captains that we have. I've got a captain over each division, and I've met with them almost every morning since taking office. Lily Williams is the Administrative Captain. Stoney Speer is over Court Services. William Hosley is over Investigations, Toby Hardeman is over Patrol, and Ralph Searcy is over our Jail Administration. We exchange information on what I want to see accomplished and what has been involved in each day's work. That seems to be doing very well. They are exchanging information among themselves, and we seem to be accomplishing some goals and making some progress. But I'm well pleased with that so far."
Sheriff Kilgore had some ideas of what he wanted to do once he took office, and he has been able to implement several of them already.
"Luckily, we've been able to work and get our jail count down. It is actually lower than it has been in recent years, and I'm thankful for that. It takes some pressure off us," said Kilgore. "I've got some inmate goals to move them on. We're going to have a special set trial calendar, working with the D.A.'s office and the Superior Court Judge. They set a special trial week for February 11, so I hope we'll be able to move a couple of cases we've had. Terrell Searcy is the number one person I'd like to see tried, and the D.A.'s office agrees, and we're certainly going to get him in front of a judge and jury and decide whether he is going to prison or not, and get that taken care of.
"We've tried to tidy some things up. I've got all my people with their oaths taken. I've worked with our insurance company. We have to post a bond for every jailer and every deputy. It is required by law. We were paying $75 per employee per year, and with around 70 people, that's about $5,500 we were paying. Then, if somebody would leave or quit, we had to get another bond for the person who took their place. So we were spending $6,000 plus per year just on bonds. I've worked with the insurance company and gotten a blanket bond policy that will cover all of them, including me, for about $1,400 a year. We saved a little money there.
"We've also worked to reduce our liability insurance. We cut almost $12,000 off the annual premium for our liability insurance, and took the deductible down significantly, from $25,000 to $10,000, and have the same coverage. So I'm proud of that. Just within the first week, we've saved about $18,000 a year, which I'm proud of. I hope we'll find other measures of being good stewards with the money that we've been given.
"I've been very busy just working out the administrative details. I had a lot of strong, good support from the community and well wishes. I think people care about the Sheriff's Office and they want to see a good, positive Sheriff's Office in the community, and I'm excited about that. It has been a real good first 18 days.
"Of course, we had the accident uptown, but luckily, it wasn't the deputy's fault. I'm sorry that the man was injured and wish it hadn't happened at all, but luckily, we were free from being at fault in it."
Kilgore is also pleased with the support he is getting, not only from the community, but from surrounding jurisdictions as well.
"I met with our four Griffin Judicial Circuit Sheriffs. We've got a good working relationship. I'm excited about that. We've got a good group of elected Sheriffs in the four counties. We plan to meet about once a month to discuss things that are relative to the Sheriff's Offices," said Kilgore.
"I met with the Police Chief. We're off on a good accord. We have a good working relationship. I've met with the Task Force agents, especially the ones that are assigned from the Sheriff's Office. We anticipate a good working relationship and a busy working relationship. We're going to make a difference in the drug trade.
"I've worked in the jail, trying to improve and create efficiency there to keep things going in the right direction. It has been a smooth administration change. Most of our folks seem to be pretty happy. But I'm happy to say we had a situation here where it wasn't an adversarial kind of changeover, which makes things go a lot easier.
"I'm happy to be here and excited about it," Kilgore added. "It has been fun. I'm excited every morning to get here. That's a good thing."

Consumer Reviews of PEERLESS boilers

"This Company and its Products are a JOKE"
New home constructed in 2004 and equipped with a Pinnacle boiler. Within 3 months, it failed and was rebuilt under warranty. Next year, it failed again and this time it was replaced with another Pinnacle. When it failed a year later it was replaced with a Purefire, which worked well for about two years, and then the cycle began again. The last repair bill a month ago was more than a third the cost of a new one. And, it has failed again! I am now replacing it with a different brand, but the reviews on them are not much better than the performance I've experienced with the Peerless Junk.
Location: Harrisburg, PA
Satisfaction Rating:
"Works great"
We purchased our Peerless Purifier gas boiler in 2010 and have been very happy with it. We went from an oil boiler to gas and our heating bill dropped 75% for the winter. Very quiet unit. The only issue since the installation was the boiler didn't light twice - the dealer came and cleaned the ignition twice. The third time they installed an ignition that was about an inch or two longer and that solved the problem. No issues since then. Sorry to read the other unhappy reviews but we would definitely buy our Peerless boiler again.
Location: MN
Satisfaction Rating:
"JUNK! Do no buy! Igniter fails weekly."
I signed up just to chime in, and am hoping that perhaps some kind of lawsuit will be brought against this company. We purchased our home this past Summer, and our first winter has been nothing but a cold, cold nightmare as the unit continuously suffers from an ignition failure. I have learned to clean the igniter, and that usually helps, but it is still failing constantly. Do not purchase these units.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Worst ever!"
The Peerless Pinnacle gas fired boiler was going to be efficient. Professionally installed in 2003 October. Heated house that Winter. Broke down October 2004. Could find no heating company to perform repair. Peerless would not do anything to make get unit running, it was under warranty. Finally, removed it, installed an oil fired boiler (not Peerless) and this one has been perfect for 8 years with only routine cleaning. Very poor company. This cost me a lot due to re-installing and oil tank, the cost of the bigger gas line initially, etc. I will NEVER buy a Peerless boiler. If you like Peerless, I will sell you this $2,000 unit cheap. In MA. $500 takes it.

"2 cracked boilers in 16 years"
I installed a new Peerless steam boiler in 1996, it cracked in 2004. The warranty only covered the cracked section and it cost more for a plumber to breakdown the boiler and replace the section than it cost to buy a new model. The second new boiler cracked 8 years later in the same place that the first boiler cracked. I have been fighting with Peerless for 3 months and they claim that hard water is the cause. Do no buy a Peerless steam boiler, the company does not stand behind its products.
Location: Valparaiso,Indiana
Satisfaction Rating:
"Absolute junk"
This product is junk. I Was told by Peerless Tech support they have never encountered the problem I am having. But reading other reviews it is common. When the outside temp gets cold I have to replace the igniter 5-6 times a winter. We have replaced virtually everything on this unit and it's only 7 years old. The standard error we get is f09. I would participate in any action against Peerless to get this resolved.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Interested In Class Action Suit"
I myself have had nothing but trouble with this boiler costing me ridiculously amount of money. I am interested in starting a bbb report or Class Action Suit to get these pieces of junks replaced. Anyone else interested?
Location: NY
Satisfaction Rating:
"Oil fired since 1978 NO Problems ever!"
Never had any issues with this boiler except the occasional burner issue. I will be replacing with the ect series oil only due to age.
Location: Southern New England
Satisfaction Rating:
"Mechanical Engineer"
I've got to believe that the majority of complaints on this site are the result of bad installation / application. Having specified and personally installed just about every brand of Boiler listed on this site, I am a huge fan of Peerless! Putting a "Super, high efficiency yada yada yada..." boiler in an ordinarily constructed older home is just asking for trouble! When a consumer picks a heating system on efficiency alone and garners technical expertise from google well... There you have it. application & installation rule!!!
Location: Toronto,Canada
Years owned: 8
Satisfaction Rating:
"Piece of cra####"
Do not buy this brand. I got 1 year trouble-free then replaced all sensors, motherboard, harness and all wiring to control panel. Now constant f-09. Unable to take vacation for 6 years as pipes will freeze when I am away. No more this summer out this crap goes and in with a viessman. Will not buy another North American manufacturer of condensing boilers as they are mostly second rate obsolete technology with lazy r&d and sh#t service.

Lakewood Rangers down Elyria Catholic Panthers to clinch share of West Shore Conference
ELYRIA — It has been 17 years since the Lakewood Rangers girls basketball team has won a conference championship.
On Saturday afternoon the Rangers ended that streak, clinching at least a split of the conference title by beating Elyria Catholic, 50-38, in a match up of two of the top teams in the area.
"It's a good day for the Lakewood basketball program." Lakewood head coach Mike Harper said. "We haven't won a conference title here since '96, so it is a great feeling to be able to end that streak and start a new era."

A U.S. Army private accused of leaking classified documents, many of which wound up on the WikiLeaks website, was back in court on Tuesday.
At a pre-trial hearing at Ft. Meade, Maryland, lawyers for Bradley Manning and the military judge hearing his court-martial addressed procedural issues surrounding the possibility he would plead guilty to minor charges.
One issue in play is whether a guilty plea would cause Manning to waive his right to a speedy trial on other counts.
The bigger issue for the week involves a bid by Manning and his attorneys to have serious charges dismissed on grounds that he was mistreated while in military custody.
The Army intelligence analyst is suspected of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified military and State Department documents while serving in Iraq.
Many of them ended up on the WikiLeaks website. WikiLeaks has never confirmed that Manning was the source of the information.
Charges against Manning, 24, include aiding the enemy, wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the Internet, transmitting national defense information and theft of public property or records.
He could receive a sentence of up to life, if convicted.
Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, filed a motion last August to dismiss the counts based on a claim, Manning says, of illegally harsh treatment while held at the brig at the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia.
He was held there from July 2010 until he was moved to the military prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, in April 2011, according to Jeff Paterson, a spokesman for the Bradley Manning Support Network.

On Charlotte Brown and Other Young Athletes With Vision Loss
Posted on 5/16/2013 at 5:12 PMby Joe Strechay
You may have caught the recent New York Times about Charlotte Brown and Aria Ottmueller, two high school track athletes with visual impairments. They are not being publicized for competing against other athletes with vision loss, but against their sighted peers. These athletes are examples of the roads being paved in the United States for persons with disabilities. Many could not imagine athletes with limited sight competing and succeeding in the pole vault or high jump, yet they are doing it.
Programs like Camp Abilities from Dr. Lauren Lieberman, an AFB Access Award winner and author, have created opportunities for athletes with vision loss to build their confidence and learn about participating in sports. Camp Abilities pushes teens who are blind or visually impaired to get active and create their own opportunities through athletics. The United States Association for Blind Athletes (USABA) is another organization encouraging, supporting, and recognizing athletes who are blind or visually impaired. USABA-sponsored sports have made a difference in my life—I was encouraged to play Goalball, a Paralympic sport, while living in Florida. I loved participating, competing and being active with a team. I was legally blind at age 19, and Goalball gave me the confidence to become more active in sports. It brought back that competitive feeling that I missed. We all should have the opportunity to use our skills, especially in our youth. These students are competing in mainstream sports in the public schools. We need to be encouraging more youth with visual impairments, blindness, and disabilities to be active.
Physical Education and Sports for People with Visual Impairments and Deafblindness: Foundations of Instruction, co-authored by Dr. Lieberman along with Paul E. Ponchillia and Susan V. Ponchillia, Ed.D., is a great resource for general and special education teachers who want a guide on including students with visual impairments in a physical education setting. This is quite close to my heart, as my introduction to our field was as a teacher's assistant in physical education and adapted physical education at a school for emotional and behavioral special education. Yes, I was legally blind by this time, and I loved the work. I had the opportunity to work with a whole range of students. Dr. Lieberman's book is an amazing resource, and I have read it. I just wish I'd had this resource back in the day!

Helen Keller's Words: 80 Years Later… Still as Powerful
Posted on 5/9/2013 at 1:24 PMby Helen Selsdon
May 9, 1933
To the Student Body of Germany
History has taught you nothing if you think you can kill ideas. Tyrants have tried to do that often before, and the ideas have risen up in their might and destroyed them.
You can burn my books and the books of the best minds in Europe but the ideas in them have seeped through a million channels, and will continue to quicken other minds. I gave all the royalties of my books to the soldiers blinded in the World War with no thought in my heart but love and compassion for the German people.
Do not imagine your barbarities to the Jews are unknown here. God sleepeth not, and He will visit His Judgment upon you. Better were it for you to have a mill-stone hung round your neck and sink into the sea than to be hated and despised of all men.
Helen Keller
From the Archivist:
It is 80 years to the day that Helen Keller penned this letter to the Student Body of Germany. It's as powerful now as it was then. Helen came to write this letter because her book entitled How I became a socialist was burned by Nazi youth during the book burning frenzy that took place in Germany in May 1933.
The Helen Keller Archival collection here at the American Foundation for the Blind contains over 80,000 items and there are plenty of extraordinary documents to read and beautiful 3-dimensional items to be wowed by. However, this letter has always stood out for me. It stands out not just because of its richly evocative language and scathing admonishment of what was taking place in Germany, but because it is singularly Helen Keller.
Helen is famous for fighting for those with vision loss, but she was also a fighter for freedom of speech and the right of every individual to live in dignity. Many still think of her as a child at the water pump or a saintly old lady, but this is to come away with a very limited understanding of Helen and what she accomplished.
Helen was a warrior who never ceased throughout her life to demand that women, the poor and disenfranchised be afforded an equal chance to live a full life. It is interesting to consider that as the Cold War set in and many American women were being relegated to the kitchen, here was a person who was in her 60s and 70s, who was deaf, blind, a socialist and a woman, and she was circumnavigating the globe unstoppable in her mission of equal rights and justice for all.

IBM Research Raises the Bar on Accessibility
Posted on 5/6/2013 at 4:04 PMby Joe Strechay
I consider myself lucky to attend a number of conferences specific to blindness, visual impairment, and technology. Well, at the 2013 AFB Leadership Conference, IBM Research just raised the bar for accessibility in my eyes. The innovative work they're doing to create accessibility options for educational videos got me out of my seat. I feel like I am now an IBM Research groupie. The work that Chieko Asakawa, Hiro Takagi, and Peter Fay presented on during the preconference and general conference is making video description and captioning for video content a realistic option for large amounts of video.
Their work in creating video description software would allow users to insert their own video description. IBM clients would be able to load a video, pause the video at specific points, insert a text description, determine the length of the pause, and continue. The software uses synthetic speech to read the video description during the selected pause. You have the freedom to determine whether a pause is needed, but I particularly love this option. This allows persons who are not experts in description technology to create audio-described video. Does this blow your mind? It did for me. The IBM Research representatives stated that they estimate that only about one percent of educational video has video description. Do you remember the educational videos that you had watch during your education? I do, and many of them would need a ton of description.
IBM Research didn't stop there. They developed a software solution that uses voice recognition solutions to caption video. So, a person could load a video into the software and allow it to caption the video. They can go through and edit or correct the captions as needed. The IBM Research team demonstrated the technology at the conference, and again, I was simply blown away. I am probably just a big dork, but I can see such a wide use for these types of technologies.
It doesn't stop there! The team has worked to develop a couple of unique crowdsourcing options to help improve accessibility on the web. The crowdsourcing solution that stands out most for me is "Social Access" or "Social Accessibility." This allows a person to have a toolbar available with the option to note accessibility issues with a page. For example, "The headers on this page are missing." Then an individual can go and select text, then select headers, and enact the appropriate headers for the page. So, for others using this crowdsourcing option, they would be able to see the note specific to the issue and view the page in the corrected format. This helps the managers of the website realize the issue, and allows users to view the site in an appropriate manner. How exciting is this? What a great use of crowdsourcing to improve the accessibility of the web pages.
I have jumped on board the IBM Research and IBM Accessibility bandwagons, so why not join me! If you feel left out, don't miss the 2014 AFB Leadership Conference in Brooklyn, February 27—March 1.

New Amazon Kindle App Shows Improved Accessibility
Posted on 5/2/2013 at 4:31 PMby Darren Burton
Readers of AccessWorld know that I have written several articles over the years condemning the lack of accessibility found in Amazon's Kindle devices. A couple of their devices have had some half-baked solutions for accessibility, and their mobile apps have never been accessible or usable at all. However, on May 1 we learned that Amazon's new update for the Kindle app for Apple's iOS mobile platform has improved accessibility for people with vision loss. We took a quick look at it on an iPhone 5 in our AFB Tech product evaluation labs this morning, and although there are still some things they need to improve, it is definitely a significant improvement over their previously inaccessible apps.
We downloaded a handful of books, and we were able to access the print content of each of them. You can read the text of a book in several ways, including reading continuously, by page, by line, by word and by character. Several other tools are also accessible, including the Go To Page tool and the icon indicating your current page and location. If you have low vision, you can change the contrast from black on white to white on black, and you can also increase the font size of the text. We found the bookmarking, highlighting and annotation features to be partially accessible, and we had mixed success with the table of contents of one book we tested. We have yet to come upon any accessible graphics, and that will definitely be a concern going forward, especially for textbooks.
Although they are a few years late to the party, we at AFB are certainly happy that Amazon did eventually get around to taking advantage of the built-in accessibility of Apple's iOS platform. Now, they can keep the ball rolling by improving the accessibility of their Kindle and Kindle Fire tablet devices. Stay tuned to AccessWorld for a full evaluation in the June issue.

A supermarket cashier saved Christmas for one local family after he found hundreds of dollars a customer dropped.
Alex Brunelle has been working at the Shaw's Supermarket in Merrimack for the past five years. The college student was working at a register early Friday morning when a customer passed through his line and paid with cash.
"I was just here ringing, and he was probably the third or fourth person through," Brunelle said.
He said that after the man left, there was a break in customers, so he decided to stock some shelves.
"When I turned around, I saw all the cash just on the floor," he said.
Brunelle found $350. He said he was certain his last customer dropped it, but he had no way to get it back to him.
"I just picked it up, counted it and brought it to the store manager so it would be locked up and taken care of," Brunelle said.
The next morning, that man, who wants to remain anonymous, called Shaw's and was relieved to learn that his money was there waiting for him.
"I was pretty relieved to hear that he got it because it is a significant amount of money," Brunelle said.
Brunelle got to meet the customer face to face later that day and leaned the true value of his good deed. He said the man told him he was an out-of-work single father, and he had planned to use that money to buy Christmas gifts for his children.

Meanwhile, the road to Damascus International Airport has been shut down because of continuing clashes and military operations in towns on the outskirts of the city, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Egypt Air is canceling flights to Syria starting Friday until further notice, said Egypt Air spokesperson Mohamed Rahma.
The airline cited the "deteriorating situation" around the Damascus airport, a Cairo airport official said, according to Egyptian semi-official news agency al Ahram.
These events are part, some believe, of a possible turning point in the nearly two-year war.
On Wednesday villagers in northern Syria picked pieces of a downed fighter jet from an olive grove after rebel fighters claimed to have shot down three government aircraft in 24 hours.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government has relied more on air power to battle the 21-month-old revolt against it, and witnesses said a cheer went up when the jet went down near Aleppo.
"We want to take this ... to show them in the other villages," a man who identified himself as Abu Dargham told CNN as he showed off two twisted chunks of metal. "Let them see what happened to these planes."
The downed plane's tail was largely intact, but the fuselage was in pieces and the type of aircraft was not immediately identifiable. Locals picked it apart, with some stuffing pieces into in bags as a tractor hauled away what appeared to be an engine. Cheering children were piled on the tractor as it drove away.
Witnesses said two fliers ejected from the plane before the crash. One was found unconscious and taken to a makeshift clinic, while villagers said they were still searching for the other late Wednesday.
Rebels posted two videos online to support their claims. One shows rebels carrying an unconscious man wearing what looks like a military pilot uniform, while another includes footage of medics bandaging a bloodied and moaning pilot.

I received a PM whose name I will withhold at the moment requesting the modded widget I have on a screenshot. I asked for his email, and sent him the file. I received a reply that Superkaramba is not a KDE 4 package anymore. Strange because I still have my widget up and running on Superkaramba.I did a search in Synaptic and true enough, I couldn't find it. I guess I got lucky that it wasn't uninstalled and I just prefer the PCLOS-Monitor than others similar to it at KDE-Look.Is anyone else running Superkaramba on KDE 4.3.3?Take a look:
Tex, Can you get liquid weather to work on KDE4?
coachj and NoIBnds,Have you tried the CWP - Customizable Weather Plasmoid (Applet) in KDE4 yet? Like you I enjoyed LW, mainly for me because it showed a 5 day forecast. CWP is more customizable than LW is and I am enjoying it more and more.Just thought I would pass this on.
Is there another name for CWP, I don't see it.
I don't get my local weather forecast on any of the applets that came with KDE 4. I haven't tried CWP but I do like Liquid Weather.
Hello coachj, you can get CWP from the kde-look site (www.kde-look.org), just choose the rpm version and follow the instructions, it seems to install quite easily.
Quote from: Archie on November 26, 2009, 01:25:54 AMI don't get my local weather forecast on any of the applets that came with KDE 4. I haven't tried CWP but I do like Liquid Weather.Ohh...yes...Liquid Weather. But Archie, if you liked LW you'll like CWP too

[Solved] ::selection will not work at all
Hey guys having a bit of a problem I cant seem to get
::selection { background: #ffb7b7; } ::-moz-selection { background: #ffb7b7; }
to work at all on a site I am working on is there any reasons why this wouldn't work?
Thanks, Luke.
What element are you applying it to, it won't work on it's own?
I am trying to apply it to the whole website, It just doesn't seem to be working... I tried targeting the body, the container div basically everything I can think of and still haven't had any luck.
If there is any other way to achieve this effect I am all ears.
Interesting...it works in Codepen without targeting an element...I'm not sure that is proper behaviour but whatever.
You could try the universal selector
*::selection { background: #ffb7b7; } *::-moz-selection { background: #ffb7b7; }
Otherwise, I'm wondering if it isn't a browser issue.
Perhaps you could put something in Codepen so we see what the issue might be?
Just tried that, still no luck. Damn this is annoying, probably something so stupid to. Is there anything that would cancel this out or stop it working correctly?
We can't tell until we see the site in question. It could be something fundamental or something in a css setting that is overriding it.
Here is the sites CSS, yes I am a noob still.
@font-face { font-family: 'grosregular'; src: url('gros___-webfont.eot'); src: url('gros___-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('gros___-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('gros___-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('gros___-webfont.svg#grosregular') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } @font-face { font-family: 'nexa_lightregular'; src: url('nexa_light-webfont.eot'); src: url('nexa_light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('nexa_light-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('nexa_light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('nexa_light-webfont.svg#nexa_lightregular') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } body{ background-color:#e7e8e9; font-family:'grosregular'; } #header-1{ width:152px; height:193px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; padding-top:37px; } #header-2{ background-image:url(images/datebox.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:0px 2px; width:152px; height:90px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } #dateholder{ font-size:8px; color:#FFF; width:72px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; padding-top:45px; padding-right:64px; } #links{ margin-top:auto; margin-bottom:auto; position:fixed; width:44px; } .linkholder li{ font-size:8px; color:#FFF; list-style:none; text-decoration:none; } a:link{ color:#c0c0c0; text-decoration:none; } a:visited{ color:#c0c0c0; } a:hover{ color:#ef4158; } a:active{ color:#ef4158; } .date{ display:block; color:#ef4158; } #container{ width:308px; padding-left:auto; padding-right:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; } #container p{ font-size:8px; color:#c0c0c0; position: relative; padding-top: 7px; } .accent{ color:#ef4158; font-size: 8px; } #container h1{ font-size: 8px; color: #ef4158; font-style: none; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; padding-top:10px; } #weekwrapper{ width: 148px; margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto; font-size: 8px; color:#c0c0c0; } #weekwrapper p{ width: 150px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; padding-bottom:5px; } #single_1 img{ padding-top:3px; } #break{ padding-top: 5px; position : relative; text-align : center; margin: 0 0 0 0; border-bottom : 1px solid #c0c0c0; } #astyle{ padding-top:15px; padding-bottom: 12px; } .chooseapage ul{ margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; display:inline; list-style:none; text-decoration:none; float:left; } .chooseapage li{ margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; display:inline; list-style:none; text-decoration:none; float:left; } #container::selection { background: #ffb7b7; /* Safari */ } #container::-moz-selection { background: #ffb7b7; /* Firefox */ } #container::-webkit-selection { background-color: #FFA; color: #000; } *::selection { background: #c0c0c0; } *::-moz-selection { background: #c0c0c0; }
Thanks for your help so far by the way, very much appreciated.
according to MDN doc's its normal behavior without targeting elements, what browser are you using @luke ?
Unfortunately, the CSS alone won't help. We need to to see the content as well, that's why I suggested Codepen so we can see it in action.
Unless you have a link to a live site of course.
@ToxicFire Hey man thanks for the input, I am using chrome and Firefox to test this atm.
how about that @Paulie_D sorry never used codepen before.
I don't know why but if I take this out
script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.fancybox-media"></script
a lot of the styling seems to start working where it wasn't before.
@Paulie_ D tried that there no still with no luck, damn this sucks.
Hmmm...there's definitely something overriding it.
I've tried stripping out the sections that shouldn't be relevant but it might take a while to find it.
Frankly, it's not a huge issue, there are quite a few other things that need fixing in that code first but that's another matter.
If I can, I 'll take another look.
Does this work for you? I added a pen of some code that I used.
I found the problem, your date holder JS is breaking the whole CSS styling. I deleted it and everything worked fine.
Aha...I knew it was a JS thing somewhere but I hadn't had time to track it down.
I didn't want to re-write the whole page (which it sadly needs) because if I started listing all the errors I would come off sounding mean...oh, oops!
I didn't want to re-write the whole page (which it sadly needs) because if I started listing all the errors I would come off sounding mean...oh, oops!
Haha, that is funny but yeah I know what you mean. Poor beginner Luke. Will understand best practices eventually. It only takes years...
Would the fact that the script @Paulie_D pointed out (jquery.fancybox-media) be causing an issue because it was missing an extension? Not sure if it might have held a necessary component to the date holder? Probably not, but I figured it was worth pointing out.
Yeah, I noticed that too...but, as I said, I didn't want to pile on too hard.
I may have deleted that line after deleting the other scripts and perhaps Codepen hadn't caught up before redrawing the page.
I'm hoping that what is written on the actual page is actually a lesson plan still to come because if it's stuff they've already covered I'm foreseeing an 'F' coming down the pike.

Nearly a decade ago, after having received a pretty decent physical a few months earlier, I was in Washington for a conference. One morning, I was unusually thirsty, lethargic and tired, and ended up being rushed to the emergency room at the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington.
Ketoacidosis, the doctors said. Significantly elevated blood sugar levels, too much for the body to process. Not good. Bryan, they told me, you were in serious trouble.
And that got my attention.
Governor, like you, I have kids whom I cherish -- they were 5 and 4 at the time. They are my life. But the doctors told me if I kept going down the path I was headed, I would likely not be around to watch them graduate from high school. I certainly did not like hearing that -- thought they were being rude and overly blunt -- but I knew the doctors were right.
So, in 2006, I made a pretty major decision to have gastric bypass surgery. And I believe it saved my life.
Since then, I have lost more than 170 pounds. Now, I'm not Barack Obama-skinny -- I still need to drop another 30 or 40 more to hit my goal -- but I am much happier and healthier. And I can now hang with my 11-year-old son on the basketball court.
My decision, like yours, was deeply personal. But I'm also a reporter. I did my research. I knew that obesity was the single biggest health risk in this country, and that more than one of every three Americans are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For African Americans, obesity is the largest contributor to deadly complications -- hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, amputation, blindness -- that our community has ever known.
I knew that the most morbidly obese men who were successful enough to lose 100 pounds or more tended to gain all of it back -- plus another 20% more -- within five years. It wasn't that they were lazy or bad or undisciplined. It was just plain, biological facts. So, at seven years out, I feel lucky.
Now, I am not about to proselytize about such a dramatic move. While techniques have improved considerably in the past 20 years, the bariatric option is still a major procedure in which as many as two out of every 100 patients die on the operating table or soon after the surgery. It's still a big deal.
If I could have been successful with more traditional means, I would have been happy. I had tried everything -- the South Beach diet, the all-juice diet -- and spent more money on gyms, trainers and treadmills than my accountant would approve. But, after a lifetime of fooling myself about this plan or that diet -- I could easily lose 30-40 pounds at a time, only to have it creep back -- I had to make a tough choice.

text: This is basically a post about a future post. I'm going to stand up on my soapbox for a moment and whine about the serious lack of information for us wives who were married before I men joined the armed services. I have asked 20 different people the same question and received 20 different responses. I do understand the military is geared for the fresh out of high school, 18 year old, who hasn't even thought about marriage. Surely we are not the first people to go through this. Of course we aren't! So why the lack of knowledge? This is where I am going to start writing down everything I find out and publish it so that, in the future, some other poor wife can finally find the answers she NEEDS to know now! I think it's something that should be taught to every recruiter because even though 99% of those guys coming through the door are 18, occassionaly you might have the 25 year old stroll through your door who has lost 140lbs and been married for a while and can finally feel confident stepping through your hatch. I can't wait to share my knowledge with you ladies. Good luck!

Does Vick now own a dog? He's not saying
Does Vick now own a dog? He's not saying
Jeff McLane
Michael Vick declined to answer whether he owned a dog after he tweeted a photograph of him and his daughter at home Thursday night that included a box of Milk-bone dog biscuits.
"I'm here to strictly talk about football," Vick said Wednesday at the NovaCare Complex. "What goes on in my personal life is not to be talked about. What's most important right now is the Philadelphia Eagles and getting the win Sunday."
The 3-2 Eagles host the 1-3 Lions at Lincoln Financial Field.
In the picture, captured by the sports blog Crossing Broad, Vick is looking at his Eagles playbook on his IPad while his daughter is working at the same table. To the right is the box, apparently opened. The tweet was later deleted and another similar photo was sent, this time without the box in the picture.
Vick is permitted to own a dog and has spoken openly in the past about wanted to obtain one for his family, especially his two daughters. Recently, he was asked by CNN's Piers Morgan if he ever wanted to own a dog again.
"Maybe so," Vicks said in July. "Being honest. Being candid. … I still deal with my kids each and every day, and for the last 3 years, not being able to have a dog because of my acts. ... I just don't think that's fair.
"It may be something that's therapeutic in that for them and I can't take that dream away from them. That's selfish on my behalf."
Asked what kind of dog he would prefer to own, Vick told Morgan that he would allow his children to choose, but that "it certainly won't be a pit bull."
The Eagles quarterback was unable to own a dog during a probationary period following his release from prison in May of 2009. Vick served 19 months in a federal prison for owning and operating a dogfighting ring. He remained under house arrest for an additional two months and ended his probation in July.

- The same reason all meat eaters are allowed to have pets and feed them meat.... Ya ya ya.. I get the point.. but the real reason is, why would you want to punish his kids when Vick is the one who's done the crime... Its not fair to his kids... a lot of kids love dogs.. I would just have couple of ASPCA officers check on the dog every week.. I don't have a problem with his small kids owning a small lap dog.. I wish it was a rescued one though.. especially the handicapped/needy ones.. which reminds him of the effects of abuse and make him help them more in present and future.... arvind
- The Tonner is longing for the day when he doesn't have to read about Mr. Vick anymore.

- You really think he didn't have the talk with his kids.. Its in media almost every day.. I am sure his daughters get confronted about it in school about it and get bullied about it to.. You really really think its okay for his daughters to get punished for their dad's fault.. Would you want any punishment for your kids if you did something wrong? arvind
