The first is the rise of the new communication technologies and their increasing centrality across the spectrum of what were formerly discrete communication mediums, practices and institutions. Second, the diverse genealogies of communications studies and research - organisational and social psychology, sociology, political economy, rhetoric, cultural studies, linguistics - have led to a corresponding diversity of methodologies and theoretical frameworks. Third, a new generation of communications scholars (spawned from the rapid expansion of university communications programs) is emerging as more Net-literate than their predecessors and is contributing to the acceleration in the changing research agenda. This issue aims to address questions concerning the methodologies and approaches appropriate to researching new communications media. It calls for papers which give case studies of research in new media, and a defence or critique of the chosen methodologies. We invite papers which take up one or more of the following issues: * the politics of new communications research agendas - what is funded, and why? How do research agendas relate to institutional cultures? * the nature of the fit between more traditional methodologies and new technologies - e.g. how does new media research challenge the boundaries of empirical research, which is also the dominant paradigm in research and funding criteria across the disciplines? * frameworks for theorising and researching the new forms of embodiment associated with new media - how can the interface between 'real' and virtual bodies be conceptualised? * suitable and successful qualitative research methodologies - is the virtual environment more or less easily researched? * the changing ethics of privacy, security and data collection as they relate to intellectual property regimes; * the role of interdisciplinarity in new media research; which disciplines count as authoritative, and which (if any) are privileged? * is the corporatised university providing a supportive framework for emerging new media researchers, and what sort of research is being conducted by networks independent of the university? Papers should be approx. 4500 words. Under special circumstances longer papers will be considered. Please send us 3 hard copies of your paper, double -spaced on white A4 paper, with your name and institutional affiliation on a separate sheet to facilitate anonymity in the evaluation process. You may submit electronically - please contact the editors for details. An abstract (max. 100 words) is required, and a biographical note of no more than 50 words. Referencing should follow the MLA Style Manual (1988) 'works cited' form of documentation (for further details see http://www.bedfordbooks.com/rd/mla/cited.html). Discursive notes should be avoided. Full details of editorial policy are available on request. THE DEADLINE FOR PAPERS IS 31 August 2002.

Hello! My name is Manne Granqvist and I am an undergraduate informatics (systems development) student from Sweden. I am combining informatics studies with social sciences and focusing on the political/social aspects of systems development and information technology.I am particularily interested in economically poor regions and how information technology might be used to support and emancipate people in those areas. This fall I will carry through a thesis work in a low-income-country. I would like to study some project that tries to develop and/or use technology in alternative ways, on the conditions of the indegenous culture/situation. I thought that maybe you know of any ICT projects in such countries that you yourselves find promising and that you think would suit my particular field of interest.I am particularily looking at Latin America since (a) I know some Spanish and (b) I have been given a grant to go there.

Supporting the arts is a necessity. But there are times when people of the arts need to eat! Sharing great places to eat, laugh, love and discuss the arts is that its all about. One great place that has set some pretty high standards in the visit and restaurant department is Scottsdale. When dining in Scottsdale, you have a lot of options. So after hitting up the center for the arts, visiting a few great Scottsdale restaurants needs to be on your agenda!
From fantastic Mexican restaurants Scottsdale to some great italian spots that are a must visit. We always wonder what are some of the favorite meals that fans of that arts like to eat either prior meals or after a show.
Scottsdale have a lot of restaurants to offer a visitor who enjoys the art world. Old town Scottsdale has a tremendous amount of art that really showcases off the city and its heritage well. There are also quite of few restaurants that showcase this well too. Scottsdale has been a destination spot for spring training along with snowbirds who come down to escape the harsh winters of the north.
While the art scene is Scottsdale is less of a known than the food culture, Scottsdale makes us for that with some great restaurants. The Center for the Arts is the main attraction in Old Town and there are plenty of restaurants to support the arts. So our recommendation is to visit Scottsdale and head to old town for some fantastic Scottsdale restaurants. Just be careful during the summer as it as the weather can get extremely hot. Majority of the activities in the arts are outside, so come prepared. We recommend visiting a lot of the outside activities in the morning, that way you can enjoy the restaurants inside during the day and have some refreshing drinks!

When I woke up this morning my right arm was asleep.
That's not uncommon.
Back in the 90's I discovered that I have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which to keep it short is basically a disorder that causes a nerve to be pinched in the lower neck and it causes numbness in the hand and often pain in the shoulder area.
For the most part the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome doesn't bother me too much. When it does it mostly causes my shoulders to hurt for a day or two. Usually my left shoulder.
I do however think that waking up with either my left or right or sometimes both arms asleep is a side effect of this disorder.
Anyway … so we've established that I often wake up with one of my arms asleep. A good shake or two and within a few minutes the arm is usually back to normal.
Not this time.
My right baby finger, ring finger, outer palm and outer right wrist are numb and tingly. They've been that way for hours. It's a little better than when I first woke up, but it's still there.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to type or do pretty much anything when half your hand is numb and tingly? My hand is doing everything I tell it to do. It just feels weird and I don't want to trust myself to hold a hot coffee in my right hand either. Just in case.
Good thing I'm a lefty!
I've taken an aspirin just in case I've got some inflammation around a nerve in my neck, shoulder or somewhere in my arm. I was hoping that once the aspirin started to take effect the tingling would go away, but so far it hasn't.
I've also been doing a lot of neck rolls, shoulder rolls, shoulder shrugs and stretches and shaking of my right arm.
I'm very well stretched out and limbered up … but I'm still unhappily numb.
This had better go away! I really don't need any more strange health problems, thank you very much.
Anyone else have Thoracic Outlet or wake up with one arm asleep regularly?

A very valuable Zen book
In modern times a great deal of nonsense is talked about masters and disciples, and about the inheritance of a master's teaching by favorite pupils, entitling them to pass the truth on to their adherents. Of course Zen should be imparted in this way, from heart to heart, and in the past it was really accomplished. Silence and humility reigned rather than profession and assertion. The one who received such a teaching kept the matter hidden even after twenty years. Not until another discovered through his own need that a real master was at hand was it learned that the teching had been imparted, and even then the occasion arose quite naturally and the teaching made its way in its own right. Under no circumstance did the teacher even claim "I am the successor of So-and-so." Such a claim would prove quite the contrary. Read the rest of this entry »

Miss. Man, Buys 150 Pizzas From Mass. Restaurant
STOUGHTON, Mass. (Associated Press) - A Mississippi man who grew up in Massachusetts goes to great lengths for a good pizza.
About 1,400 miles to be exact.
David Schuler returned to Jackson, Miss., last weekend with 150 pies from the Town Spa in his home town of Stoughton (STOWE'-tun), just outside Boston.
It's a tradition he started years ago when he couldn't find a good slice in Mississippi.
The 150 frozen, vacuum-sealed pies he returned with was a record for him. They cost $1,200.
He made the 16-state trek in 24 hours, munching on Town Spa pizzas he kept on the passenger seat.
Restaurant manager Kerry Hughes tells The Enterprise of Brockton he ships pizzas as far as California and Florida, but Schuler is his best out-of-state customer.
alh1020: Next time I'm in Stoughton, I'll have to stop in at Town Spa pizza for a slice.

RSD, also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is an extremely painful disorder that may develop as a result of injury (most commonly), surgery or disease. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), RSD is "a chronic pain condition that is believed to be the result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems." According to MedicineNet, RSD involves "irritation and abnormal excitation of nervous tissue, leading to abnormal impulses along nerves that affect blood vessels and skin."
This chronic pain will cause unexplained, intense pain in the part of the body that has been injured, and may alter sensation or reduce motion.
How does a ketamine infusion relieve RSD pain?
Many chronic pain syndromes, like RSD, are caused by up-regulation of NMDA receptors in the brain. Ketamine works as a NMDA receptor blocker, providing long-term pain relief. In chronic neuropathic pain syndromes, Ketamine can force the receptors to down regulate, effectively resetting them to normal levels. Think of it as "rebooting" the brain.
How is a ketamine infusion performed?
Ketamine treatment is performed as an out-patient procedure. An infusion with IV ketamine may be performed as a 2 – 4 day treatment. The patient is continually monitored by an anesthetist.
Is a ketamine treatment right for you?
Your doctor at Southeastern Interventional Pain Associates in Atlanta, Georgia, will review your medical history and complete a throughout exam. Ketamine infusion offers the highest success rates when a patient is properly diagnosed.
Please be advised that there is no guarantee that this procedure will provide the pain relief you need. The period of relief also varies greatly from patient to patient.
Call Southeastern Interventional Pain Associates in Atlanta at (770) 558-8501 to find out if a ketamine infusion treatment may be right to treat your pain.

Affirmative Action
The U.S. government first required affirmative action in 1965 as a way to remedy past discrimination against minorities, women, and others protected by law against discrimination. Affirmative action means that a company must take steps to increase the participation of protected groups in its workforce.
Audit your affirmative action policies and practices with the Employment Practices Self-Audit Workbook
Sometimes a company voluntarily develops an affirmative action plan (AAP) as a blueprint for hiring employees from protected groups. AAPs often have many of the same goals as diversity programs, but the two programs are not the same.
Diversity programs are typically voluntary and are more comprehensive than AAPs. Both types of plans help achieve workplace diversity and include specific steps on recruiting and hiring. With both programs, however, companies can't make employment decisions based on race, sex, or other protected characteristic or condition.
Some companies that are required by law to establish written AAPs include those that fit into at least one of the following categories:
- A nonconstruction employer with at least 50 employees and U.S. government contracts or subcontracts worth at least $50,000. If you have at least 50 employees and several small government contracts that add up to $50,000, you're covered. If you're a branch office of a bigger company with the required number of employees and contracts, you're covered even though your office doesn't handle the contracts or have 50 employees.

OGUNQUIT — Police say two firefighters were injured Monday morning while fighting a fire in a commercial building in Ogunquit.
The fire was in a building at 20 Shore Road, close to the busy town square. At one point, fire hoses were covering both Shore Road and Route 1, according to police.
One firefighter received a knee injury and a second broke his hand while fighting the fire, police said. Both are being treated at a local hospital.
Fire officials were not immediately available to answer questions about the injuries or the extent of the fire, which was first reported before 9 a.m.
Route 1 and Shore Road were closed for a couple hours early Monday, but reopened to traffic shortly before 10:30 a.m., according to police.
Everyone made it out of the building safely, police said.

Every month, the Toronto Real Estate Board releases Toronto wide stats. Don't worry about those numbers.
The ONLY numbers that matter are the numbers in YOUR area. If you live in Leslieville, it truly does NOT matter what is happening in Pickering.
Even these reports are fairly general for your areas and a more indepth report is needed when you need real time values for your home, condo or loft. Be sure to ask about this BEFORE you simply call the agent with the sold sign (seeing as its NOT likely he/she actually engaged the buyer to begin with).
Need a report for your specific area? This is something I am happy to do for all new buyers (or sellers).
Here are a few sample maps to look at. When you are ready to buy or sell in Toronto, be sure to connect with me here, on twitter or on facebook.

We KAIR About Kids!
KidKAIR works on many levels to provide local children with the items needed
to help them live healthy, successful lives. Working with local schools and organizations, KAIR seeks to meet each child's
needs based on their special circumstances.
PROGRAMSSTUDENT SUCCESS - This program provides children, parents
or caretakers with the necessary tools for success in school. These needs might include transportation vouchers for teacher
conferences or Parent's Night; subsidized English Language Classes; computers and other educational materials; eye glasses;
perhaps even a bicycle for transportation to an after-school job.
BACK TO SCHOOL -For families struggling to make ends meet, the new
school year presents challenges to provide their children with the items to succeed. In conjunction with local community groups, KAIR
collects and distributes backpacks with the school supplies necessary for their success.
FEET -KAIR provides sneakers and shoes for children in need. Vouchers are
issued to local stores before the school year begins.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS -Many children need assistance at holidays, but do not qualify for established programs in the community.
With referrals from agencies and schools, KAIR provides food and gifts to make the holidays special for the family.

When the disease reappears again in the family, all are tested to see who can be a donor, and then everyone--including lovesick cousin Simon and Henri's girlfriend, Faunia--return home for a long Christmas weekend. All crowded again under the same roof, solidarity quickly--and hilariously--devolves into feuding, drunkenness and bed-hopping, as everyone struggles to make sense of the mysteries of family, life, and what lies ahead.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is commending the U.S. Supreme Court for agreeing to rule on whether several tough provisions of Arizona's controversial law targeting illegal immigration should stay blocked from implementation.
A federal judge last year issued a preliminary injunction requested by the U.S. Department of Justice to block implementation of key parts of the law known as SB1070.
Brewer reacted to the high court's action Monday by saying she's confident that the justices will uphold Arizona's authority to protect the safety and welfare of its citizens.
Brewer adds that the case goes beyond Arizona and involves every state grappling with the costs of illegal immigration.
She says states deserve clarity from the court on what role states have in addressing that concern.

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — State health officials say a virus that sickened people who participated in a long-distance race through mud and other obstacles in southern Michigan likely originated from a participant on the course.
The state Department of Community Health says there were more than 200 reports of gastrointestinal problems from spectators and runners at the June 29-30 Tough Mudder event in Jackson County. The event included more than 22,000 participants and spectators.
The department says it's a norovirus, which is common and produces flu-like symptoms for a few days.
In an update Wednesday, the Department of Community Health said that most illnesses were reported from people who had mud or muddy water in the mouth.
The state says Tough Mudder officials are working with health officials to prevent future problems.

FORT HOOD, Texas (KXAN) — A Fort Hood soldier was honored Tuesday for being the first woman to qualify to command a Bradley fighting tank. It is a duty the Army just recently opened up to women.
The move represents a big milestone in preparing thousands of women soldiers for combat roles by 2016.
Maj. Crissy Cook is one of the women leading the way.
"There's nothing special about me," Cook said. "Yes, I am a female, but in my crew, they don't look at me as a female. They look at me as a qualified officer who is out there to conduct the mission with them."
Cook, a member of the 1st Cavalry Division, has been training with the M2 and M3 Bradley fighting vehicle and just qualified for 'Top Gun' at the last gunnery.
She says any woman can reach their goals, it just takes hard work and high expectations.
"Find a mentor, someone you can talk to…it's tough but it's not whether you're a man or a woman, it's the standards."
Once called to combat Cook could have several roles, including infantry battle, surveillance and artillery operations.
Currently, there are nearly 77,000 women among the Army ranks. They make up close to 14 percent of the force.
Until recently, the military blocked women from combat roles, making it harder for many of them to get promotions. But last year, the military eliminated a rule that blocked women from direct combat positions.
The change cleared the way for women to serve in combat ground units like armored or infantry battalions. Removing the rule opened more than 13,000 positions in the Army to women.

Candidates for the Earth Challenge $25m prize?
By now, you probably will have heard about Richard Branson's latest venture: the
Earth Challenge
, which offers $25 million to whoever can come up with a way of taking a massive amount of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. There's been quite a bit of media speculation as to what sort of projects could be contenders and most have come up with ocean fertilisation.
This is based on the fact that iron is a limiting factor to phytoplankton growth. So peppering the oceans with iron should boost phytoplankton growth, and therefore the amount of carbon dioxide that phytoplankton suck out of the atmosphere.
I spoke to a researcher at MIT who asked not to be named about this option and she raised a few interesting points that suggest some downsides. First of all, boosting phytoplankton growth implies messing about with the bottom tier of the global food chain, which could have unforeseen consequences.
Second, a proportion of the plankton fall to the bottom of the ocean when they die. From one point of view, this is desirable: the plankton drag the carbon with them, and so store it on the ocean floor. But bacteria feast on it by oxidising it. Oxidation means less oxygen, so less fertile waters. In its most extreme form, oxygen depletion can lead to underwater "dead zones". (New Scientist published a
feature on these recently
, with an
Still, there are lots of cool ideas out there. In fact, the UK
Royal Society
has just rewarded a number of scientists for their innovative ideas of ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
George Chen
at the University of Nottingham is tackling the problem from a very simple angle and working on an solar-powered system to break the gas into carbon (which can be stored as pure carbon or used to make nanotubes) and oxygen.
Chris Freeman
of Bangor University, meanwhile, is trying to exploit a wetland plant called Sphagnum. Sphagnum doesn't decompose like other plants, creating the possibility of permanently trapping carbon dioxide inside it.
I have to say that I'm not convinced any solution will be truly sustainable unless it returns the carbon dioxide to its original form (buried oil, gas, coal). That seems pretty unlikely although Chen's research seems the most promising in that respect. But I'm still looking forward to finding out where blue skies research will take us.

The percentages of Android to Apple iPads used are amazingly close, as well, … Read entire article »
Education Purchases: Price of Success
When I was a kid, Tony-the-Grocery-Man used to drive his truck to our house. He actually drove it to each house on the street. I looked forward to it. Going to a real store was a rare occurrence. I still remember the smell of fruit, vegetables, and cigar. That truck was packed with stuff, even when Tony upgraded to a … Read entire article »

Digital Primer PD: The Revival
Recently, I was reminded that Broadway play revivals do extremely well.

APPs: It's an Education!
I was hunting beginner-reading apps the other day and came across a "Reading Timer" by a very well known company. With further research I found that it was for timing summer reading minutes, but could be used throughout a school year. Supposedly timing reading encourages fun reading. Call me old fashioned, but I don't get it. When I was teaching reading … Read entire article »

Challenging Tech Needed: APPly Now!
A little over a year ago, I remember sitting with some very intelligent people, suggesting that education publishing needed to not only get into the app marketplace, but develop ways to use apps more deeply than click offs on a screen, or as placeholders for a bunch of mismatched resources.

I'm the God-fearing, gun-toting, American flag-waving, conservative you were warned about!
Man Isaac that is not what I wanted to hear. I heard you got hurt but was hoping for the best maybe just a sprain (I guess that could be worse actually) But then again no cutting so that is good. Next time call me I always have some anti pain stuff laying around, prescription too Anyway take care of the leg and try to keep the spirits up

Holy cow man!!! Sounds like it was pretty painful I can't imagine.
PLEASE let me know if you need anything. I can help out with whatever...
Hopefully you heal quickly!
Marco Capote
Thanks all for the well wishes!
UB, I still have the corolla, so I'm driving that. I got some friends to drive my truck back up here to Bailey, so its all good. Just needs to be washed.
The Saga continues.
First, the ER thing.
I got to the ER with the full expectation of waiting many hours to be seen. Its an ER, and thats just the way it is. We went to Denver Health (formerly Denver General) as that was the closest one on the list of "approved" providers.
My friends wheel me in through a wheel chair, where we all go through a metal detector, have to empty our pockets of everything, and they confiscate knives, lighters, guns, etc.... Luckily, I'd left my knife in the truck.
The waiting room is filled with lots of people, about half of whom are homeless, just looking for a place to stay warm, so they make up issues, and come chill in the waiting room while they wait to get processed and turned away. Normally, I'd say "good for them" they are just trying to stay warm. However, when they are the ones delaying your admittance, I admit, I became a lot less understanding.
Anyway, sitting in the waiting room, waiting for my wife, and suddenly the whole area begins to hear a very personal conversation going on between a patient and an admitting nurse. Everyone begins to look around, and we realize that the admitting nurse has some how left her phone on the line for the overhead loud speakers in the waiting room. We got to hear every detail of the issues a guy was having with his rectum.
I finally get in to see the admitting nurse, who, of course, removes my boot and sock. At first, everything looks just fine. Within 5 minutes, my ankle is the size of a baseball. The nurse says, "oh, I guess we should have put the boot back on sooner. I'm sorry". Meanwhile, the swelling is causing my foot to start throbbing.
After this, its a bit more waiting in the waiting room, I get taken back to get an xray and then spend an hour sitting there waiting for the results. The doctor comes in, clearly in a bad mood, and says, "its just a sprain, here is an air splint, go home and take some advil, you'll be fine."
So, at this point, I'm relieved that it seems to be okay, pissed at the doctor's attitude, and dead tired, not to mention starving. I crutch my way out to the cars in the parking garage, where I get a call: "Ah, sorry, but we had the actual radiologist look at your leg, and it is broken. You can come back at your convenience and we can see what we can do".
I told them that I wasn't coming back another time, so they could get me back in right then.
I get inside, and they tell me that its going to be many hours of waiting, until they can get an orthopedist in to see me. So, I send Natalie up to Bailey to feed my parents dogs, and deal with everything. I get put back in the ER, in a different area, and they start to hook me up.
Now, at the intake, and again with the doctors on the first intake, and again on the second (so that is 3 separate times) I told them that I have a Latex allergy. They put a bracelet on me that said "Latex Allergy". I was wearing this bracelet at the time I was brought back into the ER.
They hook me up to the machines, and within 5 minutes, my entire hand is bright red, with splotches and a burning/itching rash. I call to the nurse, who looks at it, and then looks me right in the eye, and says, not joking here, "Do you have a Latex allergy?"
I couldn't believe it. So I said "yes" and held up my wrist so he could inspect the bracelet that clearly said "latex allergy". "Sorry about that, let me get you a non-latex sensor," he said, "but keep that one on for just a bit, as we need to keep track of you."
10 minutes later, the rash is getting worse, so I yank the sensor off, which sets off alarms, and the nurse comes in and says, "Oh, sorry, I totally forgot about that other sensor. I'll be back". He returns in a few minutes with nothing, and finally says, "oh well, I guess we just won't monitor you.".
After about another half hour, the radiologist and orthopedist come in, order me another xray, check it out, and give me the news, followed by, "this is a clean, but very obvious break. I'm not sure how the other doctor missed it." I thought to myself, "well, maybe if that other doctor hadn't been such a witch with a b and cared about what she was doing for half a minute, I wouldn't have this issue".
So, I wait for a bit more, while they are getting discharge stuff ready, etc... While that is going on, the cops bring a guy out from another room who got seriously messed up on Cocaine at a new Years party, and had been in the ER for 23 hours. As he is being shuffled past my room, he starts to urinate, which results in him getting sent back to his hospital bed, so they can clean him up, dress him, and where they find more cocaine. Not sure where he had it hidden, but the dude only wearing a hosptial gown when I saw him. Yikes!
Anyway, I get discharged way sooner than expected, which would have been good, but my wife is still an hour or more out, and has now been 12 hours since I had anything to eat. I finally say "screw it", and crutch 3 blocks to a burger king, which is supposed to be open 24 hours. Well, the DRIVE THRU is open 24 hours, so again, I'm so hungry, tired, pissed and hurting, I crutch up to the window, bang on it, hand the guy my credit card and tell him I want a burger.
In the mean time, some cars pull up. The first of which is an civic filled to the brim with very drunk girls, who start yelling:
"Hey, just because you are homeless, doesn't mean you can just WALK through a DRIVE through!"
"Are we going to get our food in 2012? Are we going to get our food sometime?"
"Hello? they aren't going to feed you bum!"
Ordinarily, that would have irritated me, but I was so out of it, I just laughed to myself, got my burger, and crutched back to the hospital.
Fast forward to Yesterday, January SECOND, 2012. I have a busy day trying to organize things that got left in disarray, that I thought wouldn't be a big deal when I left to go wheeling. Now everything takes forever.
At about 7:30, my brother's dog Xoe shows up at the back door, and has a 6" long, 5" wide hole in her side. My first thought is that there is a lion or coyote out because foxes don't usually mess with stuff that is bigger than they are.
So, Natalie and I begin to get stuff ready to take Xoe to the emergency vet hospital. After a trip there and a nice tab, she has been sewn back up, and is doing okay.
The vet said she ran into something, as this was a puncture wound consistent with a sprinting dog hitting an unseen stick at the wrong angle.
Regardless, 2012 has gotten off to a very rough start.

I soooo look forward to having a beer with you next year and laughing about this New Years....it will be funny then but now it's just unbelievable! I guess that's why we pay the big bucks so that we can be humiliated by our trusted caregivers.
I'm the God-fearing, gun-toting, American flag-waving, conservative you were warned about!
Wow! What an ordeal. The silver linings: it was a good clean break and will heal quickly, and that stock Runner of yours wheeled real nicely! I hope your NewYear goes only upward from here on.

Tiny Toes
I aim to capture the tiny details and small moments of life. I love to look at things differently. And I love to see the beauty in all things.
Expressive Eyes
I love to capture the expressions that babies make. Thoughtful, happy or mad. I love it all. I love to see a baby learning about life through their eyes.
Family Fun
Older children are tons of fun too. When you hire me to take your children's pictures, I follow their lead. I make sure that they are comfortable with me. From the newest baby and beyond I want their experience to be a good one. When kids are relaxed the parents are relaxed and that really shines through.
Special Moments
Every once in a while I will have a special type of picture. Be it chickies to bluebonnets I will try anything once. If you are interested in my services please use the contact tab at the top. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

After a flat-footed performance by Obama and Big Bird jabs from Romney in the first presidential debate of this election, how do you feel Tuesday night's debate — set to be a town-hall style format on both foreign and domestic policy — will go for both candidates? Who do you predict will "win" round 2?
Well, we agree on one thing, Loner. We just pay our government now and they do what their masters tell them to do... and that ain't us.
We need a complete turnover of Congress. That is, of course, if Romney wins. If Obama wins, they will stay in his pocket.
And if Obama could usurp it in 2008 with Congress' support, why can't he in 2012?
The only time the legislators talk to their "bosses" is when they are on a campaign telling us why we should keep them in office.
October 11, 2002
In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions.
Hours earlier, the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133.
Joe Biden voted to invade, as did Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and a bunch of other hawkish "liberals".
The DIE consortium calls the plays in the big games and support for Defense, Israel & Energy is, in aggregate, quite bipartisan. This is "Loner's Complaint".....Hmmmm. maybe I'll write a missive or a complete book with that title....."Portnoy's Complaint" was a commercial success and, as the Rasp pointed out, I need to make a pile of cash....to prove my worth to society.
Quick Unscientific Market Test: Would you consider purchasing a book entitled, "Loner's Complaint", by yours truly?
Three out of four trolls, have left their smell.
(click) (fail) (Flush)
There was a big difference between Bush and Obama on attacks, Loner. Bush asked for and received permission from Congress. Obama didn't. He attack Libya without asking. He only had that responsibility if it was a response to an attack on us. He then has a number of days to get Congress permission or cease fire. He didn't.
Obama has said the Constitution needs to be changed. I guess he means he will re-write in for us.
And interesting brochure on Obama through the Washington Examiner. If I find it again, I'll post it.
The fall leaves in the mountains yesterday are getting near their fall glory. I suggest that if you want to see this wonder of nature ,the next few days will be worth the trip.
The mountains in North Carolina and the Cumberland Mountain are near perfect to view yesterday.
The Washington Examiner's article is "The Obama You Don't Know". Go to www.washingtonexaminer.com/obama#.UGxDgVEsGZj/
Loner, the old adage is, "why buy the cow when the milk is free?"
Six trolls and a pontification expert from New York have 52 posts this morning or roughly 93% of the verbage. This could be a sign that incest has taken over this forum.
I would sniff your armpit to see if the smell might be coming from the "simple six"
From Loner: "We will be at war with Iran soon, probably by next fall, regardless of who wins the presidency....if BHO wins, we will be reluctantly dragged into it...if Bishop Romney wins, we will willingly jump into it. Either way, the DIE consortium will call the shots, while the American public watches television."
Loner, I am in 100 percent agreement with your analysis.
A vote for Romney is a vote for Adelson and thus all things Israel. We may as well annex Israel and make it one of our states.
The following Website is worth checking out from time-to-time.
Rasputin, you morally bankrupt bigot, if you're looking for a simpleton, you need go no further than the closest mirror.
The monk is a copy troll.
And you probably would sniff someone's armpit...
Rasputin, that is, not you Captain.
He is also a liar and a coward. I took him up on his offer to meet, but now he hides behind his imaginary grandson. True fashion for a troll.
I bet he sniff yogis butt if he got the chance, Ummm. lol
You didn't really expect him to meet with you, did you Captain? After all, that would expose his phony 1%er persona- can't let you see the man behind the curtain, you know.
Looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree, Nemo.
By: Ummm... on 10/16/12 at 9:37
Loner, the old adage is, "why buy the cow when the milk is free?"
That's one response, thank you, Ummmm.....the Market Test is still open for responses.
I am interested in Rasp's response...after all, his taunting may have inspired me to make a pile of cash....a controversial, successful novel may be the quick route to wealth for the Lone One....I do have the time...the tools and hopefully the talent to do it....Is attacking the conventional wisdom that underpins the US-Israel "Special Relationship" the quick route to fame and fortune...and also the right thing to do?
Right now, I pontificate for free...to a few jaded NCP posters....but, since I am banned on the Jerusalem Post, maybe I have something worth saying....I can offer an alternative appraisal of the "unshakeable relationship", from a secular, American patriot's point of view....who knows, somebody might buy it....I would be branded as a "Jew-hater" immediately...that notoriety could lead to profit too...Kerching!
Loner, are you familiar with the author, Tim Wise? He lives here in Nashville.
Consider it carefully, Loner. And be prepared to encounter the "strange bedfellows" you might attract- I don't know if you're going (or have already gone) bald, but I doubt you would want to hang out with skinheads, for example.
You might like this, Loner.
I hope that wasn't for Loner's eyes only, Blanket. Very interesting, and spooky too, having been posted five days before 9/11.
It was for anyone who wants to read it. And remember, Tim is a Jew.
His take on Israel is very interesting.
PRESIDENT IS THE BETTER MAN. i CAN'T GET OVER WHEN ANN ROMNEY EXPRESSES HER DESIRE TO HELP KEEP MITT'S TEMPER UNDER CONTROL. WE DO NOT NEED A PRESIDENT THAT CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL, AND WE KNOW THAT HE IS A BULLY. A MAN THAT CAN GO INTO A BUSINESS AND CLOSE THEM DOWN AND TAKE ALL OF THE MONEY INCLUDING PENSIONS IS A MAN WITHOUT A HEART. HE WILL TAKE EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS AND GIVE TO HIS BUDDIES AT THE TOP.
He isn't the only one who questions zionism, Blanket- one of the reasons I'm hopeful that Bibi will get the boot in the near future.
Thanks for the tip, Bn...I went to a site that had some of Tim Wise's quotes...he sounds a lot like Mike Burch?
Then I went to the site that you offered: his rant about Zionism...I only glanced it over, as it is fairly heavy reading, I'll have to read it carefully and that takes time...right now, it's time for another latte......
Zionism is a scary thing indeed.
Hey, did anyone see the news clip of the restaurant owner who was trying to wipe Mitt's face for him? I was waiting for Mitt to have a meltdown. LOL
Loner, I've lived here quite a while now and I can guarantee you those are two separate people. :)
Enjoy your latte! Sounds yummy.
He did what I expected Ummmm. All Bullies or cowards and when confronted they all turn and run. Yogi always wants to whip someone, but does is from the safety of his cave. Bud hide under her bridge and p3 make whizzing from Madison. Rasputin is a little cleverer; by pretending to be something he is not. However is still a bully, but in the end he hides like all cowards.
Interesting Blanket.
Well, well. I see where Sect. of State Clinton has taken the blame for the Benghazi murders... the day before the next debate. Convenient, isn't it?
It's going to be interesting to see if she offers to resign or Barry asks her to. Since he's the "President", isn't he also to blame?
The way he "stole" the office from her, could she be fighting back?
Excuse me, dumba$$,
I see you as a bully. You're constantly making idiotic comments to and about people you feel superior to but your pea sized brain is too inferior to even make you mentally equal.
But hang in there, you might learn how to keep your mouth shut one of these days. You should be careful approaching someone physically exposing you ignorance.
The unmasking of a troll.
LOL - Blanket
Trolls hate getting unmasked!
Which brings up the question of about The Lone Ranger.. is he a troll?
Only Tonto knows.
Get my horse pronto.. Tonto.
-The Lone Ranger
Its reported that ''Mittens'' will respond to debate questions by breaking out in song.
Recent polling has determined that most undecided voters, like musicals.
The ''Mitt'' will do tunes from ''Oklahoma.'' Its said that Mitt sounds exactly like Gordon McCrae.
Where do you fit in that category, B2?
This is another interesting post Blanket. But why don't they like me? LOL

Truth be told, I am not a huge Valentine's Day fan, (no presents, no overpriced dinners…my husband is a lucky man!), but I definitely won't pass up the chance to cook a delicious meal at home and open a nice bottle of bubbly. Here are a few suggestions that are sure to make your Valentine's Day romantic and special.
Something Sophisticated- Champagne Diebolt Vallois Blanc de Blancs Prestige NV
This is definitely a great bottle for a Valentine that loves Champagne. All of the grapes come from a single vineyard in the French village of Cramant. With every sip, this sparkler reveals new layers of flavors. Creamy notes of lemon, apple, and peach are followed by sharper notes of ginger and anise. Complex and well worth the price! (A-, $70, perfect with shellfish or brie cheese)
Somthing Frugal- 2007 Jaume Serra Cristalino Brut Nature Vintage Cava
If you are looking for a bottle of bubbly that will impress your Valentine but won't drain your bank account, this is a great choice. Dry with tastes of orange, lime, toasted nuts, and vanilla. This sparkler really over-delivers for the price. ($14, B+, pair with sushi, d'Affinois cheese, or oysters)
Something Different- Biltmore Pas de Deux
If you really want to score big this Valentine's Day, spend it at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. If you can't make it there, try a bottle of their sparkling wine. Sweet and full of fruit, this bubbly has tastes of honey, oranges, and peaches with a citrus-filled finish. A great pick for someone who is just getting into wine and wants a sparkler that is easy to sip! (B, $18.99, perfect with dessert or as an apéritif, media sample)

The World is going CRAZY over SOCCER and every 4 years all things are put to a grinding halt just to watch the WORLD CUP...dubbbed the WORLD GAME. Pero dito sa ating mahal na bayan, nilalangaw ang larong ito. BAKETT?
If ever there is one game we can excell and go toe-to-toe with other countries, it is SOCCER. This is one sport where the adage " height is might" is not applicable... where speed and agility is second nature to filipinos small physical stature thus the possibility to excell.. and we have it in abundance.
The Japanese and Koreans have been enjoying success in this sport. Why not us. Basketball obviously is our #1 sport but we must look beyond that, napagiiwanan na talaga tayo because of our preference to this American sport. Time to shift our attention to the sport loved and watched by millions of fanatics - Soccer. What do you think.

Question by john p: This year i plan to start a small business as well as a rental property, I have a few tax questions?
concerning my rental. I wanted to charge $ 750.00 monthly minus certain utilities included amounting to $ 150.00. So I have a proffit of $ 600.00 each month. Can I offset this proffit with the monthly mortgage payment of $ 600.00 (P&I )or can I just claim mortgage interest, insurance costs and depreciate the buliding over 30 years. Can I exspense any repairs against the profit or do I have to depreciate them. Example a new roof might cost 5-7 thousand dollars. If I have to depreciate that over 30 years that doesn't amount to much but that sure was a lot to come up with now.
Concerning the business, I plan to start a home based carpentry business. I would like to spend roughly 20k – 30k on a workshop that will serve as a business hub at my physicall residence. I would prefere this over an in town based business for obvious reasons. Now can the business pay myself rent to use the bulding and claim this as a business exspense, and I claim mortgage intrest and depreciation for myself.
Best answer:
Answer by peachygurl86
When renting out real estate, these are the expenses you can take to offset your costs: Mortgage Interest, Insurances, Utilities, costs of finding tenants (advertising fees, credit checks etc), repairs,depreciation of the building and any furniture and fixtures you have placed in the home.
You can expense repairs such as painting, fixing plumbing etc. If you replace something such as the carpet or a toilet, you have to depreciate that new asset you placed in your rental. Any capital improvements you put into the house should be depreciated over 15 years. The building can be depreciated over 27.5 years.
If your business uses a building you own, it can pay rent to you and you would claim it on Schedule E of your 1040. Any expenses you incur (not your business) would be deducted from the rental income you report on Schedule E. If the business pays for any of the expenses related to the rental, the business would deduct them and you'd put that income and deductions on Schedule C.

Why I Give iTunes Gift Cards For Christmas (and How to Get Them At a Discount)

For the past few years, my husband and I have given all of our Apple-inclined friends and family iTunes giftcards for Christmas and birthdays. It makes me feel "the warm fuzzies", so I'd like to share our reasons and encourage others to consider doing the same:
We are software developers and we do a lot of iOS/OSX related development. It benefits us to have a healthy app economy where people are willing to pay money for our work, or the work of people like us. I consider giving out iTunes gift cards a way to simultaneously give a gift, pay it forward to my colleagues, and invest in my own career.
People hesitate to pay for apps and music. Trying to say this in a positive way: I think people value more (or put more emphasis on) software and music purchases now. That makes a giftcard for apps and music an easy way to give a "treat yourself" gift.
(I hope) Having available giftcard balance makes it a lot easier to support apps the recipient already uses frequently. "Free money" is easier to spend removing ads, purchasing expansions, and the like.
They don't have to sit around and get lost like other gift cards. The recipient should enter the code immediately into his or her iTunes account and the balance is automatically applied to future purchases. (I sometimes include directions for entering the code into the iPhone App Store app to encourage this.)
New iGadgets are a popular gift, and an iTunes giftcard will help them get all kinds of stuff to use with their shiny new toy.
I can stretch my dollar by buying iTunes gift cards when they're on sale, or through a gift card discount site.
If you're worried about possibly-shady giftcard resellers, my site recommendation is giftcardzen.com; I buy from them often, have talked with some customer representatives the few times I've had an issue, and trust them as responsible merchants.
CVS, Best Buy, Staples, and Costo usually have an iTunes giftcard pack on sale between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I will also try to post iTunes giftcard deals in the comments section below as I come across them (as I will be looking anyhow!)
