JBLM weekend air show could attract 350,000
Keep your eyes on the sky this coming weekend: Joint Base Lewis-McChord is hosting what could become its biggest-ever free air show.
Crowds could top 350,000 over two days with the Nevada-based Thunderbirds – the Air Force's premier stunt team – making their first appearance at the base south of Tacoma since 2008.
"I'm betting on 200,000 (visitors) a day," said Lt. Col. Pete Field, the show's deputy director, setting a high bar for the 2012 Lewis-McChord Air Expo.
He's optimistic about turnout because the show's organizers brought together more acts with bigger names than they drew at the last show two years ago. And that expo attracted some 250,000 people when the less-known, civilian-owned Patriots Jets aerobatic team headlined the event's 16 acts.
This time, Lewis-McChord has 20 performers with three headliners: the Thunderbirds, the Patriots Jets and the Army's Golden Knights parachute jump team.
The Thunderbirds in 2008 led a lineup that drew 375,000 people to the biennial spectacle. Their reappearance this weekend is one of the main reasons organizers anticipate bigger crowds this year.
"It's entertaining, but the whole idea is to say thank you to the American public," said Lt. Col. Ira Cline, the air show's director.
Cline and other organizers are urging people to come early and catch all the acts. The expo starts at 11 a.m., with gates opening at 8 a.m. both days. It ends at 4 p.m., with gates closing at 5 p.m.
Arriving later in the afternoon could make for longer lines getting on the base. Visitors can take short cuts by riding free shuttles from six parking lots in Tacoma, Lakewood and Puyallup.
Other important details:
• Everyone older than 16 will need identification to get on the base.
• Don't bring pets, cans, bottles, backpacks, large lawn chairs or weapons (even if you have a concealed-weapons permit).
• No people convicted of felonies or with warrants are allowed inside.
• Ear plugs are recommended. Madigan Army Medical Center will hand them out at Hangar 3, but visitors are encouraged to bring their own because of limited supply.
Aside from the headliners, other military hardware over the South Sound on Saturday and Sunday will include the B2 stealth bomber, a B-52 heavy bomber and the C-17 Globemaster IIIs that comprise the working fleet at McChord Air Field.
This year's show also is different in that it's the first at McChord Air Field since McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis became fully integrated in the fall of 2010.
As a result, visitors will see more displays featuring Army aviation assets and ground vehicles. Twelve helicopters will be on display, including ones from the elite 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.
Stryker vehicles, the eight-wheeled infantry carriers used by some 12,000 Lewis-McChord soldiers, also will be on the grounds.
Five of McChord's C-17s will be on display, with one set up by the 446th Reserve Airlift wing to resemble the setup used by the medical evacuation teams they deploy to Afghanistan to care for wounded service members.
The main acts will start arriving Thursday. Commuters on Friday afternoon might notice a full run-through of the performance as the pilots practice their routines around McChord.

I think the important thing is to differentiate between young girls acting above their age; going to clubs, having an older boyfriend etc. and these girls who are being groomed for forced prostitution. There could be aspects of their behaviour, as portrayed in the first episode, that would leave the door open for some to claim it was their own fault, but it's what is done to them next that is the crux of this. |

It's a pity but it's absolutely true. Combine that with, say, a strained relationship with a parent or lack of ambition/feeling like there's not much worth working for, and this sort of thing will happen. Too many teenage girls DO do things like take compromising pictures of themselves. But that doesn't mean that you victim-blame. They're generally naive girls. It's a pity they didn't look after themselves better but the blame totally lies with those who took advantage. |

We should all know better.
No matter how difficult and stupid the behaviour of some teenagers (in fact, the worse they behave the more it PROVES they are misguided) we should be helping and protecting them. Not regarding them as just scum to be exploited because they're no good. Teens can be vile but that does not excuse taking advantage of them. So sad that girls can understand so little of themselves and of the world that they take gifts and any attention as 'love'. Terribly sad. |

I wasn't victim-blaming, just saying that some of the scenes in the first episode might have reinforced the stereo type view some people may have of certain young girls today. Your post does take me on to another point I was going to raise..our responsibility to be on the look-out for suspicious behaviour. It was only fiction, but going back to that scene in the shopping mall. The girls in their school uniforms stood out like a sore thumb, going around with a couple of shady looking guys in their late twenties or early thirties. Would the shop staff be quite happy to help them with make-up, watch them parade around in skimpy dresses, for the entertainment of a couple of dodgy looking individuals like that ? As I say, only fiction..I would imagine ( and hope) that it would arouse suspicion in real life. |

It is a pity that this two-parter had to be missed from last series as it would have held it together. As it was it was underwhelming & too focussed on Leo. What a massive blow Harry is leaving. The relationship between Nikki / Harry is key to this programme. As for this last one it was a very difficult subject to address & they in fact made it so that the Pakistani men & the British girls (families) didn't come out of it too well. I personally think they did well to tell it.

i found the scenes interesting at the home of both the two girls being groomed. one girl had a mother who looked like she couldn't give a damn about her and the other mother just plain slapped her daughter. charming! also interesting that no fathers were to be seen in those two cases. the lack of love and affection shown towards these girls in their home life may well have a bearing on their behaviour and being flattered by such male attention..unaware of the aim of these sickos. it's a sad state of affairs... |

I found the ending very depressing. I know the gang were arrested and their leader killed, but poor Shannon and Younis died and it was difficult to feel that the two "new girls" had much of a future, with their useless mothers. And even with the gang leader, his death seemed too brief a punishment. In some ways, I can't help feeling year after year in jail would have been harder, especially as he'd have been despised by his fellow prisoners. I was a bit confused by the resolution with the girl in the suitcase. She died naturally, but was it her father who put her body in the suitcase. Why would he do that? |

Quite. He despised the girls for their behaviour and seemed blind to how revolting his own was.

One thing that I still don't understand: the man covered in tattoos died from an infection. They blamed it on the new tattoo his wife had given him. The girl who escaped from the brothel had the same infection, which meant she had to be hospitalised. There was forensic evidence that the man had been in the brothel (although he died in the street) but was it ever explained how they both came to have the same infection at the same time? Did she catch it from him, was it sexually transmitted, or did he catch it from her and not his wife?

Anyone notice the tilt at humor in this sick and all too realistic story?

The press release about Tom leaving really confused me about these last 2 episodes.
The release talked about Tom & Nikki making a go of it in this storyline but Tom deciding to leave for the US at the end ... but these episodes were broadcast out of sequence ?? |

It was very disturbing and realistic grooming scenes but very predictable with the ending ensuring for storyline purposes that justice was done with the ring leader being killed. If they had been taken to court they would probably get off from the grooming charges from lack of witnesses, either dead or too frightened to give evidence. The stepfather would be on a murder charge for the golf club killing but they did not show that. The recent real life case was a rare success.

Is it true that the new series starts tonight? Radio Times and TV Guide both say so (so I'm pretty sure it is true), but I had no idea until a couple of minutes when I checked to see if anything good was on tonight!
I'm happy now |

Looking forward to seeing how a Harryless SW pans out. So far the 'show' has always been bigger than the actors who come and go so it will be interesting to see how the new pathologist settles in.

Pennsylvania is home to more than 900,000 military veterans. Their tremendous service to our nation stands as a point of pride for our commonwealth. It takes a special person to be a soldier, a sailor, a Marine, a member of the Air Force or a member of the Coast Guard. How many people would want to or be able to face the threats and uncertainties that our service members have and still do on a daily basis?
We have an obligation to these brave men and women who have fought to keep our nation safe and free to ensure they have the necessary assistance and support when they return home from duty and adjust back into their everyday lives.
That is why I recently voted for a new law that will help generate additional dollars for support services for our veterans through private donations.
Act 194 of 2012 creates a new Pennsylvania Veterans' Trust Fund (PVTF) to supplement state appropriations for veterans' programs. The legislation provides additional dollars through voluntary donations to enhance current programs, services and benefits our state already offers, without asking taxpayers to contribute significant new funding.
Funding for the Trust will come from donations made via a voluntary check-off box on driver's license renewals and vehicle registrations, proceeds from the sale of special license plates for veterans and other motorists who wish to honor their service, as well as other private donations. The Trust will fund a variety of programs, such as grants for veterans' organizations, support for county veterans' programs and housing assistance for veterans.
To ensure this proposal creates the greatest benefit for our veterans, the legislation also supports new partnerships between the state and a number of charities and veterans' service organizations. It is important to note that money from the Pennsylvania Veterans' Trust Fund is not intended to replace existing government funding.
State, federal and county governments offer a number of helpful resources for our veterans, and it is important to ensure that all men and women who have served our country are aware of the benefits available to them. A list of helpful informational links is available on my website under the Resources/Links tab at http://senatorbrowne.com/veterans.htm.
Additional information is also available by contacting the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs online at www.dmva.state.pa.us or calling toll-free 1-800-547-2838.
It is vital that our men and women in uniform know that they have our deepest gratitude and appreciation. This program allows us a way to show it.

I would like to believe that this is true... My Dad waited over 7 months for his Aide and Attendance Benefit to be processed throughout the VA. He was a WWII Navy vet. The day I buried him I received a letter from the VA stating they were "still processing" the claim. I ended up paying for his assisted living and funeral. This isnot uncommon among families of older vets. They die BEFORE they receive the benefits that dare I say " they are entitled to"! See the article in the NY Times from October re this issue.

I think it's a shame that we Veterans have to rely on a driver's license application check box and other voluntary donations to fund any benefit for serving. Most of the freedoms we have are due to some Veteran who gave part or all of his/her life in service to this great country. Sorry, Pat Browne doesn't get a hand shake from me for this effort.

Those in uniform deserve this law and better. My only question is how much of the money will go to the Allentown arena, or has Mr. Brown finally moved on.

The "new partnerships" that the Senator refers to are probably run by his wife, family, and donors.

I'm glad PA veterans have something available to them and I thank State Senator Browne for letting us know about this law. However, I'd like to see better laws in place which have funding from the General Fund rather than a very small amount from check-off boxes. 1 in 12 homeless people in PA is a veteran. We can do better than that for our veterans.

I learned about a month ago. I just stuck with it for a day and it starts to become pretty natural. It really helps. Good thing to be able to do
if you front step it should not be a problem for you at all. just drop the board right when it hits the flowing water comin towards you and get on like you wold always do.
if you backstep, try to drop in front of you and get on towards the middle of the board with your back foot, pull it to a side slip if you can, and slide your back foot back to the usual position once you are ready to show the wave whatsup

someitmes it helps ppl to practice on dry sand at first so you don't have to chase your board.
Over time you step will get smoother and you will keep your speed. Owning your one step will let you access a lot more waves. Then you can work on ur side slip.

I cant water drop for shit, every time I try it results in an epic face plant

Another key point ppl forget when telling ppl how to water drop is to drop as the water is moving towards you. Once the water is stopped or going back out to sea, it's going to make you go slower, not faster.
good point
[FONT="Impact"][COLOR="Red"][COLOR="DarkRed"]Tom Schenk[/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT]
water drops can be very useful if the beach is rocky or there is short wave periods. imo it's worth mastering
Your authority is not recognized in Fort Kickass
Water drops are a pain in the ass..
On the incoming wave as its crashing onto the shore, use this as your focal point, you need to be dropping the board on the backside of that first wave...the smooth surface from that point to the next incoming wave face should be no problem. It's just getting your timing right and getting used to the fact that you have to trust the ocean so you don't epic face plant.
Hope that helps!
What I find is that when people drop, they seem to bring their feet up a few inches off the sand to get on the board. When I drop, I try to keep my feet as close to the water or sand as possible to keep the momentun going forward instead of pushing downward on the board.
the key to any drop regardless of water depth is how smooth the transition is. You want to 'walk on to' the board as opposed to jumping on it.... Losing as little speed as possible and distributing your weight as evenly as you can.
Anybody who has a good drop makes it look fluid and effortless.
Purple Snakes
yeah thats true mapdash...if you watch videos of people w/ really smooth drops you dount even notice him/her getting onto the board. its like all one motion. it shouldnt be in seperate steps.
nfarino117: Do you just use a paint pen on top of the front of your board? Or do you have to take it apart?
Let Fire Fall:haha today at moes i was rolling up this guys burrito
yeah i no-step water drop 99% of the time as well, its really how smooth you can get on and keeping a nice steady stance, you lose your balance your going to lose all your speed and sink really really really fast

The latest pet care news, adoptable pets, and cruelty alerts.
Español »
The ASPCA offers free and low-cost spay/neuter surgery via five Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics that travel to many New York City neighborhoods! Our mission is to put an end to the tragic euthanasia of adoptable animals within the five boroughs of New York City by addressing the animal crisis at its source—in the heart of the city's local communities. Recognizing that many of the most serious overpopulation and animal health crises arise in neighborhoods with limited access to veterinary care and animal care education, the ASPCA brings spay/neuter services directly to such communities.
View our calendar for upcoming dates in your area.
The ASPCA strives to make spay/neuter affordable for all residents in NYC's five boroughs. Low-income pet parents in New York City's five boroughs with proof of public assistance such as welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), disability, food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or public housing qualify for heavily discounted spay/neuter services for their cat or dog. Those on unemployment do not qualify. If you do not have proof of public assistance, a $125 fee per animal is required. Pit bulls and pit bull mixes are always spayed and neutered at no cost.
For further information or to make an appointment, please call our Client Services line at (877)-SPAY-NYC.
This is an all-inclusive fee. Clients can choose which services (as described below) their pets need. However, the fee will remain the same regardless of which services are performed.
Live in Manhattan or Queens? We've partnered with the NYC Department of Mental Health & Hygiene to provide free spay/neuter services for low-income residents of those two boroughs. Please print out a Manhattan or Queens voucher [PDF] for free service and bring it with you when you visit a Mobile Clinic in your neighborhood.
If you are the pet parent of a Pit Bull or Pit mix at least two months of age, you are eligible for free spay/neuter surgery and vaccinations through any of our Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics.
You can also make an appointment through our Operation Pit program, by calling (877) 900-PITS. Appointments are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital at 424 East 92nd Street, and on some Sundays at the Spay/Neuter Clinic in Queens at 70-25 83rd Street, Glendale, NY 11385. Participation in Operation Pit is by appointment only—sorry, no walk-ins. Learn more about Operation Pit »
All animals will be examined by a veterinarian to determine if they appear healthy and can undergo surgery aboard a Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic. Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics generally accept:
Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics will NOT accept:
Spay/neuter transport services are provided for animal rescuers with at least 20 spay/neuter candidates at our Stationary Spay/Neuter Clinic. Outfitted with brand-new, top-quality medical equipment and staffed with expert medical and administrative personnel, the clinic provides high-quality spay/neuter services to dogs and cats managed by local animal rescuers only. Approximately fifty percent of patients arrive at the clinic via the ASPCA's free transport services, while others are accepted by appointment.
When your dog or cat is discharged from the Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic, we'll provide you with instructions for post-operative care. You can also download them here: English Version (pdf) | Spanish Version (pdf)

"We were all children once. And we all share the desire for the well-being of our children, which has always been and will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of humankind."
We the Children: End-decade review of the follow-up
to the World Summit for Children
Report of the Secretary-General (2001)
Children in the IDP camp in Rakhine State, Myanmar. OCHA
By resolution 836(IX) of 14 December 1954, the General Assembly recommended that all countries institute a Universal Children's Day, to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children. It recommended that the Day was to be observed also as a day of activity devoted to promoting the ideals and objectives of the Charter and the welfare of the children of the world. The Assembly suggested to governments that the Day be observed on the date and in the way which each considers appropriate. The date 20 November, marks the day on which the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in 1989.
In 2000 world leaders outlined the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015. Though the Goals are for all humankind, they are primarily about children. UNICEF notes that six of the eight goals relate directly to children and meeting the last two will also make critical improvements in their lives.
In 2012, the Secretary-General launched a new initiative Education First. The Initiative aims to raise the political profile of education, strengthen the global movement to achieve quality education and generate additional and sufficient funding through sustained advocacy efforts. Achieving gains in education will have an impact on all the Millennium Development Goals, from lower child and maternal mortality, to better health, higher income and more environmentally-friendly societies.

Have you had serious problems trying to remove a property manager?
This will give you an example of what can happen when an association tries to remove a property manager and things get nasty.
An association master group that shall be unnamed met and agreed to search for a new management company. A committee was formed to interview prospective firms. So far so good.
Each of the master group's members got a package with all the proposals. Here's where it gets nasty. One of the members gave the information to the present management company, which then obviously contacted each of the group's members. One by one they changed their minds about switching companies.
The management company then sent a letter accusing one of the members of spreading false personal information about the company as well as the family of the owner, and removing itself as management of the association. There was no documentation in the letter of any of the charges the management company was making against the person it was accusing.
Probably because they were afraid of a lawsuit, the members of the group called for what they called a reorganization , which in fact meant that they were going to remove the president. I'll keep you up to date as I get advised of what happens.
This is an extreme example of how difficult it can be to serve as a volunteer in associations.
Has anything like this happened to you? Please let me know. Maybe we can find a solution that will take some of the stress out of the process.

A Work in Progress
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011Since State of the Re:Union is all about topics featuring people and communities turning broken realities into new beginnings, we thought it befitting to highlight this storyline. If it has a familiarity to it, it might be that the talented producer, Mr. Zak Rosen, spent some time with us at SOTRU as a radio producer. Even though his physical presence is elsewhere, his character still permeates the creative air that we breathe.
Now working independently, Zak is producing Work in Progress, a story about a Detroit auto worker who found herself crippled after suffering severe nerve damage from a traumatic head injury she received while on the job. The 50-year-old Gloria Lowe had to re-learn everything, from how to speak, to how to brush her teeth. She literally had to start completely over with just learning how to exist in life and how to be in the world. Doctors informed her that she would never maintain a job again. However, as the human spirit often does, she defied their life sentence and got back to work after two and a half years of recovery. This woman of fortitude did not return back to the auto plant, but rather became one of the leaders of a new movement that is taking shape in Detroit, Michigan. Block by block, the city's residents are taking back communities that have been written off for some time.
Lowe started an organization, We Want Green, Too, that is dedicated to training Detroiters in how to reclaim their community. Now Through teaching people how to rebuild the homes that will create neighborhoods, Lowe believes that eventually this can revive her beloved city. She has firsthand knowledge of what it is to come back from a devastating blow. Now, without a whole lot of outside help she is at the she is at the leading edge of a movement that's taking a stand for Detroit, a kind of DIY urban policy.
Work in Progress tells the story of how Gloria Lowe and a small army of dry-wallers, community gardeners, bakers, philosophers and other true-believers are working small miracles all over Detroit. This didactic narrative introduces us to some characters who follow Lowe's lead in accepting the challenge in reinventing who they are. One such person is Edward Collins, a shift manager at Detroit's On The Rise Bakery, which offers a culinary arts training program for Detroiters
reclaiming lives derailed by unemployment, crime and substance abuse. Another player on the stage is Grace Lee Boggs, a 96-year-old philosopher and political activist who has taken a part in almost every major social justice movement over the past 70 years. She still lives and works in Detroit and takes no exception when it comes to participating in this movement. It keeps her young.
While this story has a unique beginning, its ending is starting to find its place in a trending world. SOTRU loves to hear the stories that make up a community of doers dedicated to making change happen through taking the first step of faith. Everyone loves the stories that invoke the spirit of the Phoenix. We'd love to hear about yours. If you or someone you know have shared in a similar story or experience, we would love to learn about it.

It's more of a visual deal, so I won't write much about it, except to say that it's got lots of glass and it's very, very nice.
The practice floors cover nearly 29,000 square feet, and coaches Rick Stansbury and Sharon Fanning-Otis have really plush offices. I took plenty of video and pictures, and I will be posting different video segments on my YouTube page throughout the day (and probably into tomorrow; I took way too much video).
Here's the first installment, featuring Ellis and Jay Logan, MSU's coordinator of Humphrey Coliseum – to which the facility is attached. Enjoy.

KEARNEY – A resolution to relieve Mayor Paul Tomlinson of his duties was withdrawn, however it still appears his council is not prepared to let the matter of bullying slide.
Coun. Steve Sainsbury withdrew a resolution on the Sept. 21 special council meeting agenda that would "authorize council to request a delegation with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, formally requesting assistance in utilizing legislative authority to commence action to remove the mayor of the Town of Kearney from office."
The resolution also contained an item to rescind portions of resolutions approving the mayor's attendance at the OPP grand opening on Sept. 21 and the District of Parry Sound Municipal Association Fall meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Sept. 28.
Tomlinson excused himself from the portion of the meeting where his future as mayor was being discussed, declaring a conflict of pecuniary interest.
Sainsbury replaced with withdrawn resolution with another that would authorize him to contact the Town's municipal lawyer to seek legal advice in matters concerning the mayor.
Deputy mayor Louise Wadsworth, although acknowledging that legal advice was needed, questioned whether it should be Sainsbury who sought it.
"I think that council as a whole needs advice from the municipal lawyer," said Wadsworth.
She also stated that council as a whole should form the questions to the lawyer and receive the legal advice the same way.
"I do not believe that it is in the best interest of council or the Town to have one person speaking on behalf of council," she said, proposing that the resolution be amended.
However, Coun. Yvonne Wills disagreed, stating that they follow previously set protocols designating one person to liaise between council and the legal team, although agreed that council should draft the questions to be posed.
Wadsworth also questioned whether that person should be Sainsbury.
"According to normal procedures, if the mayor is not able to fulfill a duty that would normally fall to the next in line, which as you know is the deputy mayor," she said. "Do we have any problem with that."
Wadsworth is the deputy mayor. She is also one of the two of six members of council who did not vote to ask the mayor to resign by resolution at a previous council meeting.
Tomlinson's leadership has been in question since the Sept. 7 meeting of council when a resolution was passed calling for his resignation after a workplace harassment complaint. At the same meeting the mayor apologized for creating anxiety, expense and distraction with his behaviour and even offered to take sensitivity training. He did, however, remain steadfast in serving out his term.
At the Sept. 21 meeting, Coun. Ken Ball, stated that since Sainsbury has been in contact with issues concerning the mayor he should continue to do so.
"I would favour a proposal of all council being involved so we all have identical information," said Coun. Barry Dingwall, who was the other member of council to vote against the previous resolution.
"There is always something lost in interpretation of emphasis when you're filtering it through someone else," he said. "I do not have a problem personally with Mr. Sainsbury but I think it would be beneficial in this situation, because it is a sensitive situation, for all of us to be getting the identical information at the same time."
Two resolutions were tabled, the first substituted Sainsbury with council as a whole to seek legal advice. That resolution was defeated in a recorded vote with only Wadsworth and Dingwall voting in favour.
The second resolution was amended by Sainsbury to coordinate questions of council and present the feedback from the lawyers to council.
That resolution was passed by recorded vote with only Wadsworth and Dingwall voting against.

I'm the second of five kids, and the only one who didn't either go back to live at my parents place for a little while after college, or live at home through college. The result? I'm only 27, and I haven't really known my family for 10 years! I mean, I'm married now and I'm starting my own family, but somehow that feels like someone else's life...maybe because I'm still a student and poor as hell...Anyway, I miss my family. I'm really hoping to be in the northeast US again next year so I can get to know them again. I'm not holding my breath, though.
i don't know whether it's cultural or just me (or both - the most likely), but i am so totally not family oriented. not personal contacts oriented, really. i lose touch with people pretty much immediately upon them (or me) leaving. it doesn't even have to be distance, just that there's nothing mandating i see them often (like work). indeed, there's a "friend" of mine who lives in town - she lives on 6th street, i live on 16th street - i haven't seen her or spoken to her in a couple years. just because i don't keep in touch. i go months and months and months without talking to my parents (one in oregon, one in california, me in maryland). they call me and leave messages, but i usually just don't feel up to talking to them. why? because i have nothing to say. i grew up with only my mother around, so don't really know my father, and i don't really know my mother at this point, either. *shrug* just the way i am. i don't hold on to people. i know this, and sometimes try to combat it, but it fails miserably every time.my brother is actually only about an 8 hour drive away in michigan, but i've never made the drive. i rarely even call him. the last time i saw him was 4 years ago at his wedding.so, yeah. i find it hard to comprehend the family unit mentality. i don't know where it comes from, but i'm pretty much an isolationist, i guess.
I'm pretty much the total opposite - see my parents every other weekend, although I suspect it's more to do with seeing their grandson than talking to me or my wife!!Her parents on the other hand we see only every five or six weeks. They don't put the effort in, so neither do we *shrug*
I love to keep in contact with some of my family members, mainly the ones that I get on with and care about. My Mum and I don't really get on, we don't argue at all but we are also completely different people so we have nothing to talk about. She's never been the maternal type so we've never developed a close bond. My Dad and I get on great, we have common interests and a similar outlook on life. My Dad has always been very paternal, despite only seeing him at most one weekend in two since I was three, so we've still managed to be quite close.I see my family in the same light that I see my friends, I keep in touch with the people I like to be around; those that I care about, have something in common with and generally get on with.I'm not one of those people who thinks that you should always keep in touch with your family, love your family and give your family your time and attention just because they are you family. I've had plenty of experience, in my family and other people's, of family members who are complete assholes; who make no effort, who use and abuse their families and then expect love and respect in return.Just like I would treat any other human being on earth, if you treat me badly then I'm not going to have any voluntary contact with you.The way I see it is, life is too short and precious to spend it on people who constantly make your life worse, family or not.

Turns out he has an infected toe and a sore on his stump. (He has a wooden leg.)As we were sitting there, worrying about him, I found myself wishing I were six and grownups could step in and take over. Then I realized.....I am the grownup now. Bummer!Does anyone else have elderly parents? How are you coping? Or is this just a dumb post?
I would just like to say, that now that I'm at the end of the thread, which in itself, was like reading one of Mr. Williams' novels, I have laughed quite a bit.Devon's quote: "Isn't it funny when dogs are stupid?" made me laugh quite a bit as well.Anyways, I'm a HUGE fan of everything Mr. Williams has written, my favorite being Tailchaser's Song, as I'm a sucker for cats. I have my own cat, a fat heffer named Sandy, that we've affectionately dubbed: "Fatso".Anyways...I just finished Chapter 16 in Shadowmarch, but I think I noticed a typo in the introduction, in the very last sentence *ducks from thrown tomatoes*.I think this is really cool that the author that inspired me to start my own writing gets on and talks to his fans.
welcome jonathan! yeah, tad rocks pretty hard, eh? as far as i know, you're our 2nd alaskan...altho i could be wrong. glad to hear from the far frozen north! how're the northern lights this time of year?
*looks out his window*Non-existent. We've haven't had much solar activity this year, so that in affect would mean no Northern Lights. :(It's really cold though...the apartment is freezing. *shivers*Yeah, I've only met like 6 people throughout my 9 years here that have heard of Tad. Everyone else just replies: "Who's that?"I tried to get my mother to read Tailchaser's Song, but she doesn't like the way Tad comes up with his own words for everything. I tried to tell her it wouldn't be fantasy without it, but she wouldn't have it.
Jonathan -I too am a cat person, have two: one whose official name is "Ludwig," but we call him "The Donger," he is that stupid. The other is Neko, a shortened form of some Japanese saying that means "Lord Black Cat." My youngest is into Anime, big time.
He he, your cat's name is cat. Talk about being stripped of his nobility. *grin*[ February 05, 2005: Message edited by: JustCharlotte ]
Just -The cat's full name is Kironeko-sama. "Neko" is just its nickname. You gotta have a name to throw at it when it is being dreadfully naughty.*returning to writing paper about home networks*[ February 05, 2005: Message edited by: Martha ]
Those Alaskan's don't have a monopoly on the old aurora borealis, we had some pretty good ones you could see very clearly as far south as Cambidge just over a week ago.
As far as the whole Parental issue goes. My real parents were divorced when I was 1 and my dad stayed overseas when I came to the states so I barely heard from him or my sister. So I only knew my Mom as I grew up. When I finished College I moved as far away from my Mom as I could to get out from under her thumb. That was in 1994 and I've since talked to her on average of every 6 months or so. I just don't have much to say and some of the things I've learned that she's done in the past have made me want to talk to her less and less. I don't particularliy despise her, in fact I feel kinda Sad for her. Had such a rough beginning and all and has never fully recovered. She's also somewhat vengeful again a product of her growing-up years, so I'm careful to avoid talking to her less I send her off on some streak of trying to destroy my life as she has tried with my Dad.My Dad on the other hand has in recently begun to want to spend more and more time in my life, to the point of over-doing it. I hear form him almost every week now and he has yet to stop finishing a conversation with how great it was to see me for Christmas...8PBut still in all I love my family very much, I'm just glad they are where they are. Except my siste, I'd like to see more of her...oh well.
I actually have THREE families!How? Well, I'm adopted, so I have my adoptive family, whom I consider my TRUE family. Then I have my Birth Mom and her two kids, whom I met a few years ago and keep in frequent contact with. And I also have a brother and sister through my Birth Father (he died in 1982, as I learned 2 years ago prior to tracking down his family).Obviously, there's a VERY long story there. I've been talking about writing a book about it, but I just haven't had the time. One of these days....
Skeen1: I don't have that problem yet, because my parents are still fit and in control of their own lives, but I've seen it happen with both my grandmothers, who lived to 97 and 99. There isn't much to say except, yes, we're the grown-ups now. I wish you luck. Many of us are or will be in that same position soon.Welcome to the board. It's a good place to hang out and get away from it all. And hello and welcome to other new folk, too.
Sorry, forgot to mention:I've been a wee bit scarce the last few days because I have one of those disgusting winter colds that just makes you feel like...well, it's not worth a simile. Anyway, we had Connor's birthday-party sleepover on Saturday, survived that, and I've been pretty much in bed since.And I'm going back in a few minutes, because I've run out of energy.Cheers.
Have a cold? Go skiing in Norway. It won't cure it, but you'll feel better. Both Ivo an me had a cold there. You'd feel aweful in the morning, go out skiing never the less and come back feeling fine. We probably froze all the bacteria/virii to death or at least nonactivity. We'd feel like hell in the morning again (after sleeping in a warm room). :)Yalahii.
Sahi: I think we'll have to convert a *few* other people before Tad will be able to afford a quick helicopter trip to Norway to cure his cold. ...Let's get to work, shall we?(Me, for my part, I'm standing at the street corner with my copy of Shadowmarch in hand, each Thrusday afternoon, preaching to the ignorant masses. But I still don't understand Tad's becoming known as 'that Jehova's witness author' in my town. Hmmm...)
I hope you feel better soon now Tad, and btw, wouldnt Tad be an awesome cologne?
Sorry to hear about the cold, Tad. I advise bed rest, green tea and the 'Trailer Park Boys'...STAT!As for parents, I lost my father seven years ago. Now, after years of grieving, my mother has started dating again. This...isn't easy for me to deal with, mainly because a)I know what guys are like, and b)I know what guys are like. On the one hand, I'm happy my mother is dating and getting on with her life. On the other hand....see above.I suppose it's similar to what a father must feel when his daughter dates. You know it's inevitable, that it's healthy, but you still want to crack your knuckles and just *glare*, don't you?
First up: Thanks for the kind wishes Tad. (There I have finally done it. Used 'the' first name. Doesn't feel bad. May keep doing it.)Second: Your cold needs salsa. Fresh, none of the jarred stuff. As soon as I start getting that feeling like my head is filling with cotton stuffing, I make a big bowl and pig out on it. Next day, head is back to normal. Or as normal as it gets for me. Recipe supplied if required!Third: Parents, families, kids and friends are the glue holding my world together. I can imagine how you are feeling Sean. I get kind of like that with my older sister venturing back into the dating game. I want her to give me his vital stats and any personal info I can back check. I'm a nasty suspicious little sister, EWG!And I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I'm getting way to close to that end of things myself. I have no idea what it's going to be like. Not looking forward to it, that's for sure.
We've all been phlegm ridden snotbags in our house, mucho comforting of the wee-un on Saturday night Sunday morn. It's an international pandemic crisis caused by atomising space aliens, mark my words.Ooh, my adjacent colleague has just come back from skiing/snowboarding in Norway, can't remember where but it wasn't Vos.According to the ancient Greeks phlegm is supposed to be one of the four bodily humours, I can't see anyone laughing.[ February 07, 2005: Message edited by: Stuart ]
Have a cold? Emergen-C. Man that stuff knocks it out pretty quick - although it works much better if you take it at the very beginning (when you start to feel the tickle in the throat).Of course, I'm not sure how well it works once kids are in the equation. From what I understand they're practically their own lab cultures for germs. Fortunately I don't have to worry about that for 2 more months.
Cold cures again, I thought groundhog day was last week? ;P

Read what our customers say about our Personalized Christmas Ornaments and their shopping experience!
"I started a tradition with my nephews and niece. Every year I get them and ornament that has something to do with what happened in their lives that year. I usually find exactly what I'm looking for on your website. I really like being able to have the year put on to the ornaments. Christine C."
"It has been a tradition in our home for 27 years now, and, being as I am getting a grandchild next year, it will continue to be. On Thanksgiving Day, our children are each presented with a new ornament, which they hang on our tree for the Christmas Season. After the holidays have passed, those that don't live at home take their ornament home with them and those that live at home add their new ornament to their collection so they have a "starter set" when they leave home. Our oldest daughter has one for each year from 1980 on. I really love your ornaments and was looking for something new, so I can assure you, I will be back. Kim Marie C. "
"Got my order today. BEAUTIFUL!!! I will definitely tell my friends about you! THANKS!!! Margaret"

Logitech HD webcams. High-def yourself.
Your webcam is more than just another gadget. And it's why your old (non-HD) webcam and the built-in webcam in your computer just won't cut it. Why? What other device lets you look your loved ones in the eyes and tell them how you feel, tell them a joke, tell (and show) them what your three-year-old just created out of cardboard, glue and glitter? Sharing, socializing, connecting with the people you care about. That's what makes a webcam different. And Logitech HD webcams are about sharing your life—but bigger, better, brighter, smoother. High-def yourself. See how easy it is to upload HD videos to Facebook™ and YouTube™ . |
Say it bigger. Say it better.The beauty of video calling over, say, the phone, is that you can see and hear your loved ones. But until just recently you couldn't make an HD video call. Because the name of the game in video calling is crunching down millions of pixels—the smallest unit of a digital image—every second and sending it from your computer, over the Internet, and to your buddy. Up until now, bandwidth and CPU constraints made HD video calling impossible for nearly all PCs (desktop and laptop) connecting to the Internet through traditional networks. That's all changed. Today you can make an HD 720p video call with a Logitech HD webcam. So go ahead. HD yourself. With a Logitech HD webcam. |
MAGIX photo organization and video editing software. Easy, smart and free with your Logitech webcam.*
You've said good-bye to shoeboxes full of photos and videocassettes. Now all your memories are stored on your computer. But with thousands of photos and videos, it can sometimes be difficult to find the one you want. And once you've found it, you might want to crop a photo to focus on your beautiful baby cousin's face. Or cut those last few seconds of video where your sister's perfect wedding cake somehow ends up on the floor. |
Get Hollywood.Using a webcam to record a video of your baby's first words, a funny clip that you upload to Facebook™ or YouTube™ or a warm message to a loved one can be an art. It's hard to figure out just when to stop—or start—recording to get the best video. There are editing programs out there, but they're often very complicated, taking days to learn and offering lots of features most people will never use. That's where MAGIX Video Easy comes in. The name says it all. This drag-and-drop home video tool makes it easy to cut, edit and combine videos to turn fleeting memories into indelible moments you'll be able to return to again and again. The simple, easy-to-use interface makes editing an intuitive process rather than a chemistry project. Step-by-step instructions help you select the parts of your video that you want to include, then add a title and some music—you can even add transitions. And when your inner auteur is satisfied, it's easy to upload your newest creation to YouTube. Next stop: Sunset Boulevard. Or Grandma's living room. |
Get organized.Digital cameras and camera phones make it easy to capture the important moments in your life. The question, then, is how to make those photos and videos easy to find and share with your friends and family? MAGIX Photo Manager 9 does it all for you. After you've downloaded and installed the software on your PC, just connect your camera. Photo Manager will automatically import your photos and videos, and then organize them by date, time and place taken. It's a snap to find just what you want—without the hassle of scrolling through thousands of thumbnails. Photo Manager also lets you do basic editing like cropping, eliminating red-eye and making small color corrections. In just a few minutes, your photos will be looking their best—just like the memories they capture. |
Get it now. (Because they're free.)The best part? Both Photo Manager and Video Easy are free with your new Logitech webcam. |

RightLight™ 2 technology. Be seen in a better light.
Just the right lightVideo calls make it feel like you're right in the same room with your family and friends. But if the lighting isn't right, it might just feel like they're talking to a shadow or a faceless ghost. |
About faceRightLight 2 technology identifies your face in the frame and uses that to determine the light and color settings. |
More light, less noiseLow light can be tricky for the average webcam. They generally only use software adjustments to increase the brightness, which means your video might be filled with digital noise that shows up as dark specks or digital garble. |
In contrastAdd a lot of rich color to low light and your typical webcam tends to get confused. All that saturated color adds extra weight to an already dark environment—often resulting in dark, flat images. On top of that, the camera introduces more noise by trying to create contrast where there isn't much. |
Video Effects. Extra fun for your video calls.
Playing aroundLooking to add a little entertainment to your video calls? Logitech® Video Effects™ can really spice things up.
Make your moveThese aren't just plain-old static effects. Video Effects technology uses face tracking to find your face and track its moves. Then it either maps a Face Accessory over your real face or completely replaces your video with an Avatar that moves like you. |
AvatarsFeel like being someone or something else today? You simply pick out a character and watch it become you. We've got an avatar for every mood and season. You can be a sock puppet, cat, alien, dollar bill, Santa, and lots of other people, animals, and things. |
Face AccessoriesWhen you want to be you with a little something extra, you can just put on a Face Accessory. You've got options galore, including a pirate hat, crown, scuba mask, vampire teeth, antlers, and a pig nose. Or you can put on a full mask. |
Fun FiltersReady for a new twist on the real you? Fun Filters apply photographic filters or manipulate your video in real time. You can transform into a comic book character, get all twisted, alter the colors, and more. |
Carl Zeiss and Logitech: Bringing you a better lens for better webcam images.
A focus on the lensIf your webcam's lens isn't good, your image quality won't be good either—no matter how many megapixels you've got. |
More light, better imagesA webcam lens captures the light that the sensor then transforms into the image you see. You need a high-quality lens to capture more light and produce the best images. Together with Carl Zeiss, we created an advanced lens design to give you more clarity and less distortion. |
An updated classicOur Carl Zeiss webcam lens is a new take on their Tessar® lens design. While the original Tessar design was patented back in 1902, it's the most famous camera lens for a reason. It delivers sharp images in a compact, lightweight form—which also happens to make it perfect for webcams. |
Facebook-friendly. YouTube-ready. One-click HD uploading - It's a snap.
A video of your baby. A pic for your parents. Your latest song. Or just your thoughts on the world. Social networking sites like Facebook™ have made it easier than ever to connect with the people you care about—but you need the equipment and know-how to do it. |
