I learned to drive in a beater of a car, an old Buick Le Sabre, massive and almost impossible to park on the curb starved streets of San Francisco. because of that thing I can parallel park with the precision of a jeweler laying a flawless diamond into a six prong setting with one stroke of my talented hand. I can back into any space with less than an inch of breathing room on the front and back end on a steep incline in the rain at night without streetlights. I am like a parallel parking jedi and adjacent parkers may curse me and leave their angry rubber bumper comments on mine but they are just jealous. Don't you wish your girlfriend could park like me?
I didn't appreciate that car when I had it but I reap a lifetime of defensive driving skills from my tenure with that awkward monster so I look back on it fondly. I was told time and time again, just don't hit anything, and I didn't. The huge car got me and a variety of other comics to gigs in and out of the city and it was a tremendous boost for my then fledgling comedy career. I drove mostly at night and surrounded by the heavy chrome and steel and glass embrace of the gas guzzler I felt safe even though I may not have been always.
Once after a late night at the Holy City Zoo, I returned alone to my parents home in the sunset district. I had been nervous with the car all night. It had been smoking and stalling unpredictably. I didn't know enough about driving to know what I had done and hadn't done. It was a relief to finally park and turn the wheels at an angle for the last time that day.
I walked the block or so to the house and I was stopped as I turned in to go up the stairs by a man yelling from his tow truck. It was cold and I didn't have a jacket and I was anxious to go inside but the man insisted that I come closer. "You hit her…." he said it several times. "You need to come with me. You hit a woman's car back there. Didn't you feel it? You gotta come with me."
He was a large and fearsome man, his flesh pressing up against the driver's side window like an octopus lying its soft body against the glass of an aquarium, still and covert, like he could change color to match the interior of his truck if he needed to hide himself from predators. He insisted that I get into the tow truck, with lights on the roof making it seem like he was law enforcement, like he was for real. I believed the lights and I almost got into the truck, fearing that I had actually hit someone, my inexperience and insecurity outweighing my common sense. I was relentlessly replaying the drive home in my mind, searching my memory for bumps and thumps but there were none.
I got closer to the man and he kept saying I needed to come with him, and that I had hit someone and as I turned to get in the tow truck I saw his eyes shift in untruth. Just a flicker in my peripheral vision was enough to know something bad was happening and I ran like lightning up the stairs and he did not call after me but drove away quickly, screeching his tires because he knew he was big and easy to catch.

SANDRO PERRI Impossible Spaces (Constellation Records)
Easily the most confounding sound I heard this last year. In all truth, this record was released in late 2011, but I didn't find any indicators pointing towards it until this year. Perri is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer from Toronto, Canada who also creates electronica under the name Polmo Polpo. On Impossible Spaces, Perri presents a light, meandering soul in a voice that sometimes reminds me of Michael Franks, sometimes Antony, sometimes Christopher Cross. It's a strange tone to hear in 2012, but it is all couched and wrapped in, levitated and nudged along by a busy production of electronica, (fretless?) bass, warped keyboards and processed saxophone that keeps pulling my ear deep into its sheer inventiveness. Guaranteed to confuse.
MOUNT EERIE Clear Moon ((P.W.Elverum & Sun)
One of this year's two "sister" releases (with Ocean's Roar), Clear Moon, is issued, as it should be, on clear vinyl. Phil Elverum, the creative force behind Mount Eerie and its former incarnation, Microphones, is a master of mood. His albums are for headphones, for closed eyes, akin to sitting alone (or with silent friends) in the forest or on some chilled rocky outcropping from where you can see no sign of civilization and yet always aware that its there.

Further readings for the Nikon 1 V1
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After the initial interest surrounding the original Nikon 1 V1 and the somewhat lackluster follow-up to that in the form of the Nikon 1 V2, the firm has introduced, arguably, the most exciting looking and capable model yet, the Nikon 1 V3. Read on to find out how this reimagined model performs.
After the initial euphoria of the Nikon 1 V1 it's probably true to say subsequent models failed to capture the imagination in quite the same way. Now with the introduction of the waterproof AW1 Nikon has cleverly won back interest in the system. Read on to find out how this super-compact and submersible model performs.
Launched after the power-drive (PD) zoom model of the same focal length and relative aperture for the Nikon 1 system, this lens is lighter, more compact version that should single it out as a ideal lens for travel photographers. Read on to see how well it performs.
When launched, the EOS-M complete with the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom was $899, but the kit can now be had for as little as $345. With lens available separately for $269 that sounds too good to be true. Read on to see how well the combination performs.
Nikon 1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 VR & 18.5mm f/1.8 lens reviews: best performing lenses in the range
Nikon was one of the last big camera makers to offer a mirrorless model but when they finally announced the Nikon 1 system back in September, 2011, they attracted some controversy for adopting a new smaller sensor than rivals. Since then, they've done well to increase popularity of the system by expanding the range of lenses in a relatively short time frame. The 1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 18.5mm f/1.8 are two of the newest models from the firm. Read on to see how well they perform when mounted on the Nikon 1 V1 body.
Launched in September 2011, the Samsung NX200 marks a significant point in the NX line because it features an all-new APS-C CMOS sensor with 20.3megapixels. Among the hybrid cameras, this is about as big as sensors currently get, so Samsung are aiming at the high ground, a fact confirmed by the premium feel all-metal body – a first in the NX-series.
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
With the Pen E-PL5, Olympus updates its range of micro 4:3 compact hybrids with redesigned ergonomics, upgraded electronics, and especially with the integration of the same 16Mpix LiveMos sensor found in the OM-D E-M5. Will it show the same advances in image quality as the flagship camera of its line? Our tests provide the answer.
In the Nikon 1 line of digital compacts with interchangeable lenses, the V2 brings some nice new features: shooting at 60 i/s, Full HD video recording in 60p, different modes for slow motion, and … a new 1-inch, 14.2-megapixel, 6400 ISO CMOS sensor that we can hardly wait to test! But while we wait for its appearance on the market, here's all the skinny on the Nikon 1 V2.

International Child Labor Research and Evaluation Portal
The Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking (OCFT) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor's (USDOL) Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). OCFT conducts research on international child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking; funds and oversees cooperative agreements and contracts to organizations engaged in efforts to eliminate exploitive child labor around the world; and assists in the development and implementation of U.S. government policy on international child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking issues.
OCFT plays an active role in research and policy initiatives relating to international child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. OCFT has published annual reports on international worst forms of child labor since 1994 and regularly funds extramural research by external organizations through grants and contracts in order to expand the knowledge base on these issues.
OCFT also funds impact evaluations of specific project interventions to assess their effectiveness in reducing child labor. The impact evaluations help to address existing knowledge gaps on what types of interventions are most effective in preventing or combating child labor, assist OCFT in designing more effective and sustainable technical assistance projects, and identify replicable and scalable activities that can be used to guide policies and improve program design and effectiveness.
OCFT commissioned this International Child Labor Research and Evaluation website through contract DOLJ099K2954 with ICF to prepare and enable public access to a number of reports and datasets of quantitative studies and evaluations that ICF has previously conducted for OCFT under research contract DOLQ059622436, evaluation contracts DOLB109K31094 and DOLB119K32401, and research grant IL-16565-07-75-K.
Each study includes the report, dataset (SPSS), survey instruments, and associated data dictionary. Users of the website may download these files and run independent analyses on the data collected.
Additional OCFT research is available at http://www.dol.gov/ilab/reports/search/?q=ocft.

Pink Floyd clock, Dark Side of the Moon vinyl record clock ||| by Revinylit
This Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon vinyl clock, made from a recycled 12" LP, is a really great gift for a vinyl lover or a true Pink Floyd fan:).
The clock is fitted with a new silent sweep movement quartz mechanism which is as quiet as a mouse. All of the clocks have a wall hanger attached.
Don't worry about the shipping, they are packed to survive a game of kicking and smashing by your average bored post office workers :).
The setup is as simple as pie - you will get the clock with everything already securely in place. All you will need is a single 1 AA battery and a free nail/screw/hook in the wall and voilà!
If you did not find the clock that you were looking for in my shop then contact me, since I also take orders for custom clocks.

SO, almost literally, they're dropping a bomb on the world and give it a "rebirth"????? Pretty messed up, but definitely different.Anyone else joining the new game??
Anyone else joining the new game??
You know, I can't lie. Square Enix must know A Realm Reborn isn't going to do that great sales-wise. They must. Which is why I actually admire them for following through with it for all of the people already invested in and that have already bought FFXIV. It's a classy move and one that actually makes you think they give a damn about their players and their reputation. Even if ARR isn't that great, they've clearly put a lot of effort into it, and I think that says a lot.
Nah, I can agree with that too-- I was going to make that point, but I forgot. Their last few titles have been pretty rough, but I can't totally discount this FFXIV thing. I mean, they're a business, they must have analysts saying "guys you're not going to make any money on FFXIV anymore." No matter how much eye candy you want to make, spending money and resources on something that is basically guaranteed to not perform financially MUST have some kind of motivation, don't you think?
No, but I'm curious, this final bash is a brawl with some big group of villians in game, right? What do you get out of it? Do you earn some reward when you start anew in 2.0?

WOODSTOCK, GA -- A man was arrested Tuesday for an alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy in the shower at a Life Time Fitness.
Police say the incident occurred Monday at a Life Time club in the Atlanta suburb of Woodstock, GA. The man, a member of the club, was identified as Christopher James III, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
James was arrested Tuesday and was charged with aggravated child molestation, child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes. He remained in the Cherokee County (GA) jail on Thursday night without bond, the newspaper reported.
Detectives say there may be other victims.

Halo 4's New Map Pack is Pretty Majestic
The new Majestic Map Pack for Halo 4 is set to drop next week, giving players some more ways to get up close and friendly with each other. Let's take a look at these new combat locales.
There's a new behind-the-scenes video, showing how the combat artists at 343 Industries crafted the new arenas in the new Majestic Map Pack downloadable content.
The three maps will focus on close-quarters encounters that give you the same feel as the classic Halo maps, with infantry soldiers hunting each other down.
First up is Landfall, which takes place in a very small area and features the city of Casbah under Covenant attack. This map is said to be an ideal zone for Infinity Slayer thanks to the limited cover provided in the interior and its relatively small size. This combination of open spaces and tight corridors should provide lots of different opportunities for players to get some righteous kills.
Monolith is a four-base symmetrical arena-type map with plenty of cover and long lines of sight, straight to the middle. This map should be amazing for close and mid-range firefights thanks to its symmetry and open areas.
Skyline is all about rooftop running and fast moves. It's supposed to be the smallest map in the history of Halo's multiplayer. It's set on a space tether that's being constructed and has two levels for players to jump around and frag each other.
The Halo Waypoint site also talks about a new game type included with the pack, called Infinity Rumble. It will be exclusive for a limited time to Majestic Map Pack owners and will feature free-for-all style of play in which players can earn personal ordnance.
Special medal and style kills can shorten the amount of time needed to get this firepower, but just make sure you don't get killed, since there's a slower spawn time in this mode. Majestic owners will also get two new playlists: Majestic FFA DLC (8 players) and Majestic Team DLC (4 vs. 4).
All of this goodness can be yours for 800 Microsoft Points (or $10), and will be available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace on February 25th, 2013.
Tell us if you're going to partake in the new multiplayer mayhem!

They say hindsight is 20-20. How could anyone think that the spies from Montclair, N.J., Richard and Cynthia Murphy, were Irish?
Not that I'm prejudiced or anything. All my life, people have asked me if I'm from New York, even though I'm a California native and have lived here all my life.
It's all about ethnicity.
But ethnicity is not a defining characteristic in upscale suburbs like Montclair or La Cañada Flintridge. Whatever our backgrounds, our present-day lifestyles are very similar. In these family-centered, upwardly mobile enclaves we go to work, raise our kids and socialize. Our children play soccer or baseball. We leave work early to watch their games. We tell them to do their homework, we hire tutors, and we watch them succeed.
Whether our grandparents came from New York or Korea, from Ohio or Italy, we La Cañadans have more similarities than differences. We love our kids, drive around, work hard, play hard and live the American dream.
It's more fun to read about the sexual exploits of 28-year-old spy Anna Chapman than to imagine living next door to Vladimir and Lydia Guryev, who masqueraded as Richard and Cynthia Murphy. Vladimir, with his broad Slavic forehead, and thick neck. Cynthia, with her exotic eyes and well-defined "Russian" cheekbones. Did people really think they were Irish? And why was it so easy for Mr. and Mrs. "Murphy" to fit in socially? For Mrs. "Murphy" to snag a $135,000-per-year job? That Mrs. Murphy's accent was Belgian?
Some have questioned the resources spent to track the 11 Russian spies. I have no criticisms.
Our security agencies have the duty to do exactly what they did. Others have dismissed the spies as ineffective, reminiscent of the Conehead skits on Saturday Night Live ("We're from France.")
Others have expressed concern for the American-born "Murphy" daughters, ages 5 and 11, who are now headed back to Russia to be with their parents.
They may look like us. They may sort of talk like us. They may drive SUVs, but the fact remains, America doesn't need Russian spies. We don't need spies who register to vote.
We don't need spies slithering their way into our barbecues and suburban enclaves. We don't need them to take $135,000-per-year jobs that give them access to the power elites.
Several of the spies had teaching positions. One was a journalist. Innocent? Not.
After their arrests, the Murphys' neighbor Jessie Gugig, 15, joked that Mrs. Murphy could not have been a spy. "They couldn't have been spies," Gugig said jokingly. "Look what she did with the hydrangeas."
Not really. It takes more than raising good hydrangeas to be an American.

2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 standard-sized candy canes or 8 mini candy canes, crushed
1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

I also think the Wolves would be all over that deal as well. Let Ellis play second or third fiddle to Love and Rubio because he just isn't working as a first option. On a different team, I doubt he'll be given the freedom to take 20+ shots a game, especially with Love as their best player. This trade could add depth and give the Warriors an additional $6.5M in cap space with Beasley's expiring contract. They'd have about $18M to spend this offseason to try and grab a guy like Deron Williams.
You're my man.
That's what I was thinking and suggesting before. I really hope they do that, at least we would know after the season what we have and if we can win with that, or to start from the scratch.
I'm on board for this, but what does Minnesota think? Kevin Love at center is pretty unsized (though you won't notice it on the glass)... Do they really want Golden State's small backcourt (and, overall, team) to become their problem?
Tim Kawakami (whom I, admittedly, can't stand) suggested a straight-up swap of Ellis-for-Noah? Chicago does have a surplus of big, defensive players. And Rose is not Curry or Rubio; a backcourt of he and Ellis wouldn't be the defensive liability that Ellis can otherwise bring by manning the 2. If Chicago is as sold on Asik as they seem, and stay content sliding Gibson to the 5 at times, Monta Ellis might be that final weapon Chicago needs to ascend from championship hopefuls to legit title threats. Meanwhile, Noah makes Lee look all the better (doing literally everything David won't) and the Warriors slide in the thriving Brandon Rush until Thompson inevitably lands in the starting lineup.
Well, Minnesota does have one other guy from around these parts on their roster who plays the center position as well, Nikola Pekovic. He played fairly well during the time Darko was out with illness. I haven't watched Minnesota that much, but I think they like to play small ball quite a lot. So, they have Pekovic and they have bunch of PFs that they could slide to center position. Anyway, I would ship them along with Monta Andris, if possible. Cap would be the problem because of Biedrins' contract, but I think some solution could be found. If not Biedrins, than Udoh perhaps. They have SFs, they would need some big guy as well I suppose.
And I would also be up for the second option as well. At the beginning of the season I was willing to give these three core players that we have a chance, but know, I'm pretty much convinced that they can't do anything of importance together. We need a good center, that's not a secret, and Noah, even though is not playing great, is miles better than anything we had in a long time. And I like what I see from Rush, and we would get a chance to see and evaluate what we really got in Klay Thompson.

Sherri will star and executive produce her new Lifetime series, SHERRI. The show is loosely based on her life and stand-up comedy, and premiered on October 5, 2009. Also in October, Sherri's humorous autobiography, "Permission Slips: Every Woman's Guide to Giving Herself a Break," was launched by Grand Central Publishing.
She continues to reprise her hysterical role as Angie Jordan, wife to Tracey Morgan's character on the Emmy® award-winning series 30 Rock. Sherri will be seen in the upcoming feature film, Precious, alongside Mo'Nique, Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey, and directed by Lee Daniels (Monsters Ball). Precious is based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire and recently won the Grand Jury U.S. Drama and Audience Award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. The film premieres November 6, 2009. Sherri most recently co-starred in Dreamworks' animated feature Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, where she voiced the character of Ben Stiller's mother.
The Chicago native co-starred for four seasons with Sara Rue and Andy Dick on the ABC workplace comedy, Less Than Perfect. She starred opposite Queen Latifah in MGM's Beauty Shop, and appeared with Bernie Mac in Guess Who, as well as, other films such as Who's Your Caddy and Cellular. On television, she appeared on Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Suddenly Susan, The Jamie Foxx Show and Joan of Arcadia.
Sherri has been on the couch of many talk shows, such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, and she holds the record for being the most-booked guest on The Ellen Show (23 times). In 2008, she served as co-host along with Cameron Mathison at the Daytime Emmy Awards. A self-described "class clown," Shepherd always wanted to pursue a performing career. She relocated to Los Angeles during high school and considered being a mortician, but opted for a job as a legal secretary instead. In 1990, she came face-to-face with destiny. After witnessing Andrew Dice Clay on stage, Sherri was encouraged by friends to put her own act together. Her love for performing was instantaneous; success, however, was not. For five years, Sherri toiled as a secretary by day and hopped on the bus at night to do her stand-up. She finally got her first real break with the comedy Cleghorne! starring "Saturday Night Live" alum Ellen Cleghorne.
Shepherd attributes her success to her faith in God, her grandmother, and her father's constant encouragement to become anything she wished through hard work and humor. She also has a tremendous amount of respect for other performers and mentions Whoopi Goldberg, Angela Bassett, Janet Jackson and Michael Jordan among her professional role models.
Sherri Shepherd and "The View" co-hosts were recently named #11 on Forbes "Most Influential Women in Media" list.
Sherri's free time is spent with her four-year-old Jeffrey.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Legislature has approved an anti-abortion bill that includes generally banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The House's vote of 37-22 on Tuesday sends the bill to Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican who has signed previous anti-abortion legislation.
Besides the 20-week ban, the bill's other requirements include mandating that the state establish a web site with images of fetuses at various stages of development for women to view.
The 20-week abortion ban would affect only a tiny percentage of abortions performed in Arizona.
The state would join six other states that have similar bans. Nebraska enacted its in 2010 and five others followed in 2011.

text: Howdy, everyone! Maybe this is a question better suited for hardware heads, but I've become Beowulf curious, and am interested in learning a hardware question. I have access to a bunch of old ATX computers. The most likely common processor will no doubt be Pentium II 400, with hard drive space around 10gb each. If I part out all the RAM from candidate boxes, I might be able to max them out at 384mb RAM. But the underlying fact that drives me to this curious point is that they're all free, and thus candidates for experimentation. My greatest question, though, revolves around power distribution. It seems kinda weak to simply use one PSU per motherboard, especially if I take the time to devise a cabinet in which to operate the goodies. Is it possible to run maybe two or three motherboards off a single power supply, given that the amount of known power committed to run a mobo is light, compared to the total workload of the average 350w PSU? This is a power-saving concept... if I could run 16 mobo's on 8 (or even 6) power supplies, it might be more beneficial to my health and well-being when the electric bill comes in. Thanks, and I'll take any suggestions you might have. Google has not been friendly to me in this search. Eric Geater -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Restitution Payments
The fines and restitution clerk handles the processing of all restitution payments. All payments received by the court are receipted and processed within 48 hours of delivery to the court. However, in order to ensure all checks and money orders are cleared by the bank, the court is required to hold the funds for a period of 10 days before releasing the proceeds to any victims.
If you have a question regarding the amount of restitution you owe to the court or what your monthly payment amount is you can call the clerk at 928-753-0713.
If you are a VICTIM with questions regarding whether or not a payment has been received you may contact the clerk at the above number for additional information. HOWEVER, it should be noted that the court cannot send out any restitution payments until money is received from the defendant. Once a payment is received from the defendant the court begins the process of sending this money on to the victim(s).
If you have questions regarding COMMUNITY RESTITUTION (SERVICE) please call your probation officer. The number for the Probation Department is 928-753-0741.

The Unidata Seminar Series presents a talk by David Hart, Manager, User Services Section, NCAR Computational and Information Systems Laboratory. The talk, titled NCAR's Data-Centric Supercomputing Environment: Yellowstone, will describe the supercomputer being installed in NCAR's new supercomputing center in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Hart provided this abstract for his talk:
Yellowstone will be the inaugural computing resource at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Yellowstone will be a 1.6-petaflops IBM iDataPlex cluster with 74,592 processor cores and 149.2 TB of memory. Yellowstone will be integrated with a centralized file system and data storage system that will provide 11 PB of usable disk capacity. Two data analysis and visualization systems (Geyser and Caldera) will support large-scale data analysis and visualization activities. Equipment delivery will commence in early 2012, with production computing operations expected in summer 2012. The Yellowstone environment at NWSC will greatly expand the opportunities for researchers in the atmospheric and related sciences, with more than 600 million core-hours available each year. David Hart from CISL's User Services Section will describe the Yellowstone environment and the allocations options for the user community.
Hart will present his seminar in the auditorium at UCAR Foothills Lab 2, on Tuesday, November 29th at 2:00 pm.

Free Software and Open Source Alternatives to Save You Money
By Jeremy Lindblom on June 10th, 2008
The development for open source software is strong and growing. Open source software is software in which the source code is publicly available for examination or contribution. If you talk to a typical person or business, you'll usually find that their computers are all running Windows and have Microsoft Office installed. Some may even have more expensive software installed like the Adobe Creative Suite applications. By buying and using such high-priced software, it is easy to shell out two or three times as much money on software than on the computer itself. With many capable alternatives, there is a lot of money to be saved by utilizing free and open source software.

Mac users may well be familiar with the Sparrow email client and, after what seems like an endless wait, the app has made its way onto iOS for use on iPhones an iPods. All Sparrow is concerned with is IMAP email accounts – the likes of Gmail and MobileMe – so if you're looking for a client to take care of your POP accounts, you're going to need to look elsewhere. What Sparrow does focus on is providing you with a unified inbox for multiple email accounts and a range of tools that make it easy to interact with your messages.
A large number of the actions you would generally perform with your emails can be achieved with a swipe – if you're a Twitter user with an iPhone, this is something you will be familiar with. Just swipe and you can delete, archive, label and star messages quickly and easily. A downward swipe can be used to refresh your inbox, again, just like with Twitter. Email conversations are grouped together in threads and this allows for easy navigation and management of mail.
If you are using Sparrow to manage both business and personal email accounts, you can make use of aliases to help keep this separate to some extent. To make email senders easier to recognize at a glance, contact images are displayed next to emails. When you are composing emails, your most frequently emailed contacts automatically appear the top of the contact list – it is simple touches like this that make Sparrow a pleasure to use.
The current lack of support for POP email accounts is understandable, even though it may be a slight annoyance for some users hoping to easily access all of their accounts in one place without the need to set up forwarding. However, the fact that an email client – which by its very nature is home to communication you will want to be alerted about – does not support push notifications is a serious oversight. This is something that needs addressing as soon as possible.
Sparrow 1.3 changes include:
- POP support
- Folder mapping issues
Once push notifications are added to the app, this will be a great replacement for the built in Mail app of iOS, and it's still worthy of attention in the meantime.

How NOT To Get Twitter Followers (The Sequel)
After the huge readership of my blog post How NOT to Get Twitter Followers, I just had to do a follow up. However, I just want to clarify that I am referring to the use of Twitter for business purposes in my observations and not as a personal account.
How NOT to Get Twitter Followers (The Sequel)
1. Taking It Personally
I follow lots of people, regularly, whom I think may have something interesting to say or may add some value around my chosen subject matter - The Social Workplace. I'm always on the look out for good content that expands my knowledge or I can share with my followers.
However, if after a period of time it appears you are adding little or no value to my stream, than I may choose to unfollow you - BUT it's nothing personal, it's just business.
2. Not Listening Or Engaging With Others
In my previous post I stated that you should listen more... BUT I now think a metric is needed to guide people. Listening three times as much as you push out your own content is a good starting point, but the more you listen the more knowledgeable you will become.
There is nothing more frustrating than someone who constantly pushes out their own content ignoring the great content around them (see Twitter: Learn to listen and stand out from the crowd...).
Pie Theorem: For every piece of the knowledge pie you share you will receive two slices in return. You don't always need to be the baker...
3. Blah Blah Blah In Your Bio
Your Twitter bio should be your sales pitch of who you are if you introduce yourself to someone for the first time. If you waffle, or are too vague, then I don't have the time or patience to delve deeper to find out if you are indeed worth following.
Make it easy for people to want to follow you.
(Example Bio I saw today: "Walking tight-ropes and eating kittens. It's what I do. " - huh????)
4. Re-Tweeting The Same Content Constantly
I know a Twitter stream can be fast flowing sometimes and your followers may miss Tweets from time to time. It is therefore ok to Re-Tweet your content, but not again and again and again.
5. Expecting A Follow Back
There is this myth that if you follow someone you MUST follow them back. Why? Where does it say that in the Twitter handbook? I don't care about the quantity of followers I have, I am much more interested in the quality of content they can provide me and my followers.
If you follow me expecting an auto-follow back, go and follow someone else.
6. Putting Quantity Over Quality
Tweeting quality content infrequently is going to get my attention much more than Tweeting rubbish content all of the time. Whilst this may seem like obvious addition to the list, if you look at your own stream you will see many people do not follow this advice.
7. Not Giving Credit
Removing the original Tweeters name from a Re-Tweet is a big no no no no! This can be give the impression that you are stealing someone else's content (whether that is your intention or not) and is a quick way to get blacklisted by the Twitter community.
8. Only Re-Tweeting Other People's Stuff
If all you are doing is Re-Tweeting other people's content, why am I following you? I may as well just follow those people instead.
Be original and interesting...
9. Tweeting Broken Links
Sending out broken links can be so frustrating for the recipients of your Tweet. Whilst this is often caused by the re-shrinking of links that have already been shrunk, it is still your responsibility to ensure the content you distribute is valid.
Always check any links that have been shrunk before you Tweet your content.
10. Paying Too Much Attention To Your Klout Score
I know this is the complete opposite of the previous number 10 option in my original post.
However, there has been significant changes recently to Klout's algorithm's in the way they measure influence which has left many of us confused and infuriated. For this reason, all the credibility Klout had established has been lost and will take some time for users to accept this once again as a reasonable measure of influence.
Remember, your Twitter account is just an extension of you and your business - a great social communication channel in a very public arena. Take Twitter seriously and treat the people that follow you with respect. Who knows where that next lead or opportunity will come from...

It's been an interesting couple of years. Growing up in a missionary family, going to church as well as attending christian school have been, for lack of a better word, interesting if troubling. So it is nice to meet other people of a like minded state. You sort of become alienated when everyone you know and associate with are christians.
So I'm rather excited to meet atheists as you can imagine. So hey, I'm Ashik.
Views: 620
Haha, I do hope to learn, always.
Give Odin a hello for me :P
Welcome! I also came from an extremely christian environment. I hope you can find the support your looking for here. If you want a good a read (for any atheist really), you should check this out.Atheism in America
Yes, I do like that site.
Many thanks for the Atheism in America link.
Greetings Dude! And Welcome! Be Yourself and have fun!See ya!
Hello Ashik-
It's nice to meet you. I'm fairly new too. My name is Mary. I hope you find some interesting material to read and make some new acquaintances along the way.
Welcome to TA Ashik! happy to have you in here.
I hope you find all what you need and learn new things in this community...
btw, your last name "Ibrahim" it's arabic "the arabic name of Abraham"
Yes, well my father was a muslim before he became a christian.
Hi! I was raised in a church off of mormonism for 17 years. This is a good escape for me. Glad you're here. :)
I know a mormon and a wiccan who was raised in a mormon community, so yea I heard it's a bit crazy. Thanks for the welcome.
Congrats for your escape from Mormonism. I'm an escaped Catholic, myself, - over 66 years ago.

Excellent read for Sabres fans. Kris did an outstanding job and the time and effort is great. Really looking forward to the draft issue and what positions Buffalo is expected to persue.
Keep up the EXCELLENT work
I second that notion. I don't know what I'd do without this site. Glad to see, Kris, that you're as high on Armia as I want to be. A couple other notes:
* Expectations/outlook on Sundher seem to be pretty lukewarm at this point, relative to the hopefulness of this fan that he turns into a productive scoring line center. From not even getting an invite to the U20 camp to being projected as the 11th best prospect in his own farm system (ouch), I'm wondering what the limiting factor/factors are there.
* A few years ago, as it became clear that the Sabres were a prohibitively small/finesse team, the organization focused on drafting punchers and grinders and annoy(ers). With that addressed, it now seems clear that they have a major, inexcusable center problem. That's from top to bottom. (the person who decided that Ville Leino was an appropriate first- to second-line replacement for Tim Connolly should be blacklisted from the sport). Kris, do you expect "centers" to be the new "toughness," as a draft/UFA focus?
Great job Kris! I always look forward to reading your updates. The Sabres have a gem at centre in Daniel Catenacci. This kid is a speedier and more dynamic version of Michael Peca. He reminds of Peca in so many ways, he's a great leader and two way player that's used in all situations. It would be nice to see the Sabres bring in a young kid like this to groom just like some other NHL teams do.Reply
great items..thank you..umm do we now include Luke Adam as a prospect..and is he #1 overall ?Reply
Palffy: Armia's top end potential and upward spike this season made it pretty easy. That World Jr. performance sealed it for me. He has another year to play in the tourney. Already thinking that 8-10 goals will be reasonable.
Regarding Sundher, I don't want anyone to think that #11 is a bad thing at this point. He's an astute playmaker, and I greatly admire what he was able to do at the start of the year. It's a gut feeling that he'll be a very efficient middle line player in the NHL. Same gut feeling that suggests that Catenacci will succeed. I'll admit that Brennan-Schiestel-Sundher was a very tough sequence to navigate, as were the goaltenders.
To your last point, YES. The Sabres have to know that they have the worst 1-4 center depth in the entire NHL. You have your workhorse goaltender signed for two more years. I'm confident that they'll trade for a center (very few UFAs) while continue to address via the draft. (AG)
Boos and 6:38 - thank you. Draft preview has already started...should be a humdinger. I'll probably go back to regular article format. I wanted to try something different here. Hope it wasn't annoying.Reply
12:19 - I've been very impressed with Catenacci this season. I think it's reflected in the rankings. I'm not concerned with his size. I think he'll be able to make up for it with his skating and offensive means.
He took a bad rap from scouts at the U18. Kids eventually mature (i.e. perceived attitude/ego issues are correctable), but I rarely spoke to anyone who could say a thing about his ability. Then the trade out of SSM...which was out of his hands and had nothing to do with his play. So in the end you have a kid who probably should have been a 2nd round draft pick.
With all that said, we really need to see him have a strong finish this year as it's important for the Sabres to see that going into the offseason.
12:30 - Even though Adam went back, I hesitate to toss him back in the prospect bucket. He's got over 70 NHL games in. Nearly a full season's worth. If forced to include Adam in the rankings, he would not be #1.Reply
Regarding McNabb/Pysyk, it ultimately comes down to what role you value more.
McNabb is a future top-4 with the rugged nature that is obviously very sexy to Sabres fans. Could he be an NHL All-Star? Quite possible. Do I like him? Of course I do. He's 6'5 with a long stick and won't take any junk. Do I think he'll taper off like Weber seems to have done? No, I do not.
Pysyk is a smart, steady d-man who has been very dependable with less of a risk factor. Sometimes you'll go stretches without hearing his name during a game despite him playing 30-35 minutes and killing every penalty. That's a good thing. Reliable middle pair guy potential.
I'm not gong to cop out and say 3 and 3A. That defeats the purpose of the exercise. The tiebreaker for me comes down to skating. Pysyk is so smooth and can start offense. I can't ignore that in the NHL, where the transition game makes or breaks you on many nights. I expect Pysyk to make a seamless transition to the AHL, and while it may take him a little longer to crack the Sabres lineup (needs to add strength), he'll be a safe play when he's ready. All the better if he starts being more physical.
great article Kris, however I do not share your vision on Pysyk as the team has to many of them already. Being non physical will do him in.Reply
11:43 - it's a close call. We've all benefited from seeing McNabb perform fairly well at the NHL level. A big part of me has a hard time with him at #4 (I'd be nuts not to) but I don't want to take anything away from Pysyk just yet (regardless of the other skill sets in the blueline cupboard). While he's more conservative on the physical side, he does make plays up-ice with his feet that McNabb can't. Let's settle this in the fall.Reply
I Brad Eidsness no longer listed as a prosepct for the Sabres?Reply


text: Yes you can. The more diverse you make it the more involved adminsitrating and configuring the job scheduler becomes. What did you have in mind in terms of cpu types? It is not uncommon to have a few fat nodes with lots of ram and cores for the smp-style apps and more cost effective nodes for applications that are using mpi for messagepassing between nodes as well as for serial jobs. You might find the term 'embarassingly pallel' which means you have a serial program that you want to run many times with different input data - you can batch queue a thousand of them up and a cluster with say 32 dual cpu dual core cpus will be able to process 128 at a time. The only catch to look out for is that you don't want to schedule an mpi job that runs across several machines some of which are slower and make the others wait. So you are best off to group same nodes together and allow scheduling/queueing up jobs to those groups instead of the whole cluster. You also can have infiniband only on part of your cluster that way if you shy the expense for all machines.

For this edition of Makeup Wars, we are all talking about the it Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Palette.
I don't know if you are very familiar with it Cosmetics or not, but I got to know them from watching founder Jamie Lima introduce it on QVC. Jamie suffers from Rosacea like I do, so it is always amazing to see her using her products to cover and reduce the appearance of the redness. In addition, she makes sure to include the latest in anti-aging technologies in her products, which is a must for me nowadays.
When I heard about the new CC+ Radiance Palette, which is good for color correcting (*hence that CC+ part of the name), brightening, bronzing and blushing, I knew I wanted to try it out.
Have you guys heard the quote "Use the right tool for the job"? It means that what you are doing will go smoother and easier when you use the best thing to make it happen. It really applies (*see what I did there?) to using the right brushes with this palette, in my case. With my redness, I have to be careful about applying my blush pretty specifically. With the angled French Boutique Blush Brush I was able to get a light application just where I wanted it to be. And, I think we all remember when I showed off my bronzer skills, right? Well, the Heavenly Luxe Wand Ball Brush actually makes that pretty difficult for me to screw up so much now. It let me apply a lot less at a time, to build up to heavy, of which I am too lazy to do. So, a light application really works for me. Of course, my skills still aren't the greatest, but, this is a big improvement.
But, my favorite of the three powders is the Brightening one. It warms up my sallow skin, but not in a sparkly vampire kind of way. And, because it doesn't have any talc in it, it doesn't make my skin itch to where I want to scratch it off 5 minutes after putting it on. It's also so hella easy to put on with the Heavenly brush, that I can slap it on with my eyeliner and mascara and I am set for the day, even without thinking about it.
All of this and anti-aging ingredients, too? Yeah, I think I'm set for the winter with this palette. What about you guys? Do you have any specific face brightening items you use to get thru the dank Winter? Let me know below, and then you need to go check out what the other lovelies said on their sites about the palette.

Secretary of Labor and Regulation to Retire
A woman who has worked for five South Dakota governors is retiring in October.
Most recently, Pam Roberts has been Governor Dennis Daugaard's Secretary of Labor and Regulation.
Roberts' first state government position was when Governor Bill Janklow named her an executive policy analyst in 1979, and she later became a special assistant to the governor.
She also worked for Governors George Mickelson and Walter Dale Miller, Janklow again, then Governor Mike Rounds and finally Governor Daugaard.
Roberts' last day will be October 10th, and Deputy Secretary Marcia Hultman will serve as Interim Secretary, if needed, until a new secretary is named.
PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard announced that Pam Roberts, Secretary of Labor and Regulation, will retire next month.
Roberts is the longest-tenured member of the Governor's cabinet. Five different governors appointed Roberts to cabinet-level roles beginning in 1989.
"Pam Roberts spent her career serving the people of South Dakota, working at high levels in the administrations of five governors," said Gov. Daugaard. "Pam will be very much missed, and I wish her all the best in the future."
Roberts joined the administration of Gov. Bill Janklow in 1979, first as an executive policy analyst and then as a special assistant to the governor. She stayed on in the office of Gov. George S. Mickelson, who appointed her as Commissioner of the Bureau of Personnel in 1989. Roberts continued as Commissioner in the administration of Gov. Walter Dale Miller. From 1995-2003, Roberts served as Gov. Janklow's chief of operations. Gov. Mike Rounds appointed Roberts as Secretary of Labor in 2003, and she took on an expanded role as Secretary of Labor and Regulation in the Daugaard Administration beginning in 2011.
"It's been an honor to serve the people of South Dakota," said Roberts. "I am proud of the accomplishments of the Department of Labor and Regulation over the past ten years and the hard work of our team."
Roberts' last day as Secretary will be Oct. 10.
The Governor has named Marcia Hultman, the department's deputy secretary, to serve as interim Secretary, if necessary, until a new Secretary is named.

Shares of Ping An Insurance <2318.HK> fell to near a two-month low on Monday after a media report said HSBC Holdings PLC is planning to sell its $9.3 billion stake in China's No.2 insurer.
HSBC has been exiting non-core businesses since Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver laid out his plans in May 2011 to boost profitability. Europe's biggest bank has since sold or wound down various businesses including its non-life insurance operations.
Continue Reading Below
HSBC owns 15.6 percent of Ping An Insurance (Group) Co of China Ltd, having bought its stake before the insurer went public in 2004. The bank's stake is worth about HK$71.8 billion ($9.3 billion), Thomson Reuters data shows.
Possible buyers include Thai tycoon Dhanin Chearavanont, who owns the unlisted CP group, according to the Chinese-language Hong Kong Economic Journal, which reported on the possible stake sale.
As of 0228 GMT, Ping An shares were down 3 percent to HK$57.80, their lowest level since September 27. By comparison, the benchmark Hang Seng Index was up 0.46 percent.
HSBC is Ping An's largest shareholder and alone accounts for about 39 percent of the insurer's total Hong Kong-listed shares, or about 1.23 billion shares, according to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
HSBC said it had no comments, while a Ping An spokesman said the company had not received word of any sale. CP could not be reached for comment.
Earlier this year, HSBC sold its general insurance business to French insurer AXA and Australia's QBE Insurance Group Ltd and is close to selling its 18 percent stake in Vietnam's Bao Viet Holdings .
HSBC also owns 19.9 percent of Bank of Communications (BoCom) <3328.HK>, China's No.5 lender. The BoCom stake is worth about HK$79 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data.
"This makes sense for HSBC because it's been disposing of so many of its non-core businesses," said Ivan Li, an analyst at Maybank-Kim Eng in Hong Kong. "The question that everyone has will be on HSBC's stake in Bank of Communications <601328.SS>." ($1 = 7.7518 Hong Kong dollars) (Reporting by Kelvin Soh and Denny Thomas; Editing by Richard Pullin and Ryan Woo)

With its azure blue sea, crystal-clear water and colourful underwater world, Bonaire is one of the most popular diving destinations in the world. And for good reason, as the entire coast is a protected nature reserve and boasts untouched beaches, spectacular coral reefs and thriving sea life.
Thanks to the warm Caribbean climate, the water around Bonaire is clear and calm all year round. Visibility is between 30 and 55 metres, perfect for underwater photography. Dive below the surface and you'll find yourself in a magical world filled with brightly coloured fish. With a bit of luck, you may even meet a sea turtle. The best diving spots are located off Bonaire's west and south-western coasts.
The promise of a beautiful, remote beach and ocean filled with coral make the descent to 1000 Steps Beach more than worth the effort. But, not to worry, the hike down is 'only' 72 steps. This diving spot is perfect for divers of all levels. The average depth is 20 metres and the coral reef starts just off the coast. Once underwater, you'll see a wide diversity of sea animals, including dolphins, basking sharks, hawksbill sea turtles and rays.
1000 Steps Beach
The locals love to dive at Something Special, not so much for the coral, but first and foremost because it's teeming with sea life. Manta rays can be seen gliding over the sandy sea bottom and, in some places, garden eels pop up their heads – a fantastic sight to see. These unique fish bury most of their bodies in the sand and only poke their heads from their burrows, as if they are growing like plants in a garden. Something Special is suitable for beginners and easy to reach from the marina. It is also possible to go night diving here.
Something Special
Karpata, in north-eastern Bonaire, is one of the most popular diving spots on the island. It is named after the country estate on the coast and divers enter the water from its pier. The water here is calm and clear, making it perfect for beginners. In some places, the reef drops straight downwards, where you'll see a few old ship anchors at the bottom. Thanks to the clarity of the water, divers can take fabulous pictures of seahorses, angelfish, horn coral and more.

The Washington State Department of Transportation came to the Town of Darrington's aid on June 11, when a sinkhole was discovered on the airport's runway.
After closing the runway, assessing the damage and determining repair costs, the town contacted WSDOT for funding assistance. WSDOT determined that the repair work met its Airport Aid Grant Program requirements for emergency funding. WSDOT awarded $38,000 in grant funds for the repair work.
"Fortunately, our grant program has stipulations for emergencies such as these," said Tristan Atkins, WSDOT director of aviation. "We're glad we could help to get this important work done."
Crews working for the Town of Darrington began repair work on June 13 and were expected to be done soon.

Treatment News
How Is the Water?
July/August 2004
Our indelicate yet timely subject this issue is Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum). "Crypto," as it is often called, is a microscopic parasite that often lives in the intestines of infected animals and humans and released in bowel movements. It is found in soil, food, water and surfaces contaminated with infected feces. Crypto is not spread by contact with blood.
According to the CDC, Crypto can be spread in the following ways:
What Are the Symptoms of Crypto?The symptoms of Crypto include diarrhea, loose or watery stool, stomach cramps, nausea and a slight fever. Some people are asymptomatic. Symptoms generally manifest in two to ten days after infection. In healthy persons with average immune systems, symptoms usually last about two weeks and may go in cycles, during which time one may seem to improve for a few days, then feel worse before symptoms abate.
How Does Crypto Affect the Immunosuppressed?According to the CDC, "In persons with AIDS and in those whose immune system is weakened, Crypto can be serious, long-lasting and sometimes fatal. If your CD4 cell count is below 200, Crypto is more likely to cause diarrhea and other symptoms for a long time. If your CD4 count is above 200, your illness may not last more than one to three weeks or slightly longer. However, you could still carry the infection, which means that the Crypto parasites are living in your intestine, but are not causing illness. As a carrier of Crypto, you could infect other people. If your CD4 count later drops below 200, your symptoms may reappear."
How Is Crypto Diagnosed and Treated?Your health care provider will ask you to submit stool samples over several days. There is no effective treatment for Crypto at this time. If you have diarrhea, drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, which can be life-threatening, especially in infants. Persons living with HIV are at a higher risk for more prolonged and severe symptoms. Those persons on antiretroviral therapy that improves immune function will also decrease or clear symptoms of Crypto. However, should the immune system decline, symptoms may return.
How to Avoid Becoming Infected (CDC Recommendations)1. Wash your hands.
Washing your hands often with soap and water is probably the single most important step you can take to prevent Crypto and other illnesses. Always wash your hands before eating and preparing food. Wash your hands well after touching children in diapers; after touching clothing, bedding, toilets or bed pans soiled by someone who has diarrhea; after gardening; any time you touch pets or other animals; and after touching anything that might have had contact with even the smallest amounts of human or animal stool, including dirt in your garden and other places. Even if you wear gloves when you do these activities, you should still wash well when you finish. Children should be supervised by adults to make sure they wash their hands well.
2. Practice safer sex.
3. Avoid touching farm animals.
4. Avoid touching the stool of pets.
5. Avoid swallowing water when swimming in the ocean, lakes, rivers or pools, and when using hot tubs.
6. Wash and/or cook your food.
7. Drink safe water.
To find out if a particular filter removes Crypto, contact NSF International [3475 Plymouth Road, PO Box 130140, Ann Arbor MI 48113-0140; phone (800) 673-8010], an independent testing group. Ask NSF for a list of "Standard 53 Cyst Filters." Check the model number on the filter you intend to buy to make sure it is exactly the same as the number on the NSF list. Look for the NSF trademark on filters, but be aware that NSF tests filters for many different things. Because NSF testing is expensive, many filters that may work against Crypto have not been tested. Reverse-osmosis filters work against Crypto whether they have been tested by NSF or not. Many other filters not tested by NSF also work if they have an absolute pore size of one micron or smaller.
With all that said, let's be realistic. Yes, if you have $1,200, go buy the newest refrigerator with a water filter for the ice and water dispenser. If not, spend about $50 on a faucet-mounted water filter that purifies about 100 gallons. After the initial investment, the filters cost about $17 each and this comes to about 17¢ per gallon -- a lot cheaper than bottled water.
Also, be careful when cleaning up after your pet, which does not mean you have to get rid of your favorite four-legged friend. When swimming this summer, avoid polluted lakes and rivers (stay in the boat), swim in clean swimming pools and soak in clean spas.
Quality of life issues come in to play here as well, and the key is moderation and common sense. Have a fun and safe summer and don't forget the sunscreen, a fun hat and the filtered water!

These are ok.Nothing more, there were many British illustrators as good as this or better.ReplyDelete
Graham; I'm sure that's true - but its not a contest. We're just trying to bring some good work by a forgotten artist to the attention of those who likely have never seen it.ReplyDelete
Actually, your comment just seems to reinforce everything that was discussed the week before last about Robert Weaver. Art is so subjective, isn't it? Other commenters have been wowed by Rose's work while to you it "ok - nothing more." Interesting...
I'm going to disagree as well. His composition and whimsical line work lead you through the painting, while the use of muted colors with a few bright, saturated areas tell the viewer where to stop.ReplyDelete
There is enough visual interest and distinct personality in his characters and compositions to warrant multiple viewings. Something that is a necessity particularly in childrens' book illustrations.ReplyDelete
Wow, I love this illustrator. Amazing economy of line, beautiful compositions, thorough knowledge of perspective (unfortunately not anything to take for granted these days, and rare among the more "cartoony" illustrators), appealing figures, and a spontaneous execution that is deceptively difficult to master. I would love to see more of his work. Thanks Leif!ReplyDelete

Girlology: Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups, and Holding Out
Today is Three Kid Circus Auditions' stop on the Parent Blogger Network Blog Tour for Girlology: Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups and Holding Out, the highly-anticipated book from Melisa Holmes M.D. and Trish Hutchison, M.D.
Apparently I'm the last person on the planet to get wind of Girlology - this popular educational curriculum created by Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hutchison spawned a website: www.girlology.com and the original book, Girlology: A Girl's Guide to Stuff That Matters. This fantastic series of books tackles some of the toughest topics for young women with confidence and directness. Rather than preaching or admonishing girls to follow a rigid, antiquated set of rules, Holmes and Hutchison present case studies - in the form of anecdotes - that delve into the real-life situations that most girls will encounter, or at least hear about through the grapevine, and then break down the important issues in a concise, straight-talking question and answer section.
As a mother of a sooner-than-I'd-like-to-be tween, I'm already bracing myself for the inevitable questions - and I'm coming up short. I'm absolutely thrilled to know that there is a wonderful series of books that takes on these topics. (I can't imagine discussing some of these topics with my now-eight-year-old daughter, even when she is older, but just because I'm having a hard time envisioning a discussion about whether oral sex does or doesn't count as 'real' sex, doesn't mean that her friends won't go there - and probably not when they are in college, either.)
I really liked this book - Holmes and Hutchison had this to say about Girlology: Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups and Holding Out:
Our new book is definitely for the teen that still needs advice, but also needs more detailed information for "damage control." By this age, they're past the puberty stuff and they've already established some personal values and behavioral patterns. Some are already having sex, and many are thinking about it. Hang-Ups, Hook-Ups and Holding Out still emphasizes the importance of a committed adult relationship as the best setting for sexual intercourse, but it offers viatl information that can help teens make smart and safe decisions about their health, relationships, risk taking and sexual behaviors.
I really enjoyed the open-minded approach - good and bad decisions are presented and analyzed. The great Think it Through sections at the end of each chapter are a fun, eye-catching way to help young women work through a situation and come to some very important conclusions.
Girlology is a great find - especially for those of us who don't know how or where to start with all of this. I'm putting this one on the shelf for later years when my daughters are ready - I have no doubt that it will be a welcome resource for both of us.
To see what other Parent Bloggers Network tour members had to say, please check out the roundup.

text: New Viking VI Side-by-Side Vehicle Doubles Passenger Capacity June 6, 2014 05:05 AM Tweet 2015 Yamaha Viking VI six-passenger side-by-side. © Sara Brown TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Brown Farm Journal Livestock and Production Editor Email Yamaha Announces All-New 2015 Viking VI side-by-side with room for six The all-new 2015 Viking VI EPS six-person side-by-side (sxs) features an extended cab and maximum headroom, legroom and shoulder room for six occupants. Every Yamaha Viking and Viking VI is assembled in the U.S. at Yamaha's factory in Newnan, Ga., for worldwide distribution. Similar to the three-seat Viking introduced last summer, the new Viking VI is made for tough off-road duty boasting Yamaha's industry-leading Ultramatic fully automatic transmission, On-Command four-wheel drive system, Electric Power Steering (EPS) and Yamaha's 700cc-class engine. The machine boosts a 600-lb. Hauling and 1,500 lb. Towing capacity. "We're following our successful Viking three-person vehicle with the Viking VI this year. On the surface, if you look at it, it is basically a Viking with a second row, but there is a lot more that goes into that," says Steve Nessl, Yamaha's ATV/sxs group marketing manager. "We've found that this biggest category of … the side-by-side market is made up of multi-use or utility use customers," he adds. "30% are looking for even more than three people to fit into their vehicle." "The Viking VI, is a comfortable, convenient, tough and off-road capable vehicle, and we expect to see it working ranches and hauling hunters from Texas to California, Oregon to Pennsylvania and everywhere in between," Nessl says. "The Viking VI is the natural evolution of a platform and concept that has captured awards, praise and market share since we launched the initial Viking last summer. Yamaha customers are excited and dealers are primed – we're on the gas and expanding our sxs line today and for years to come." CAB COMFORT and CONVENIENCE The Viking VI configuration was designed with more cab room for all occupants than any competing vehicle. Built on a new frame, the Viking VI chassis features six comfortable and secure bucket seats, each with three-point seat belts and headrests, with a walk-through cab design. Similar to the original Viking, the middle seats are purposefully reclined five degrees to provide more shoulder room for all occupants. Dedicated passenger handholds and foot rests add to rider comfort. Operators will appreciate the automotive-style driver position with simple and intuitive access to dash-mounted controls, an adjustable driver seat, and a full digital display panel with speedometer, odometer, trip meters and fuel level. Other conveniences include eight cup holders throughout the cab, a sealed storage container under the center front seat, additional storage under the remaining front seats, a large glove box on the front panel, and two DC power outlets – one in front and another in back. The cab is all wrapped within a ROPS US OSHA/ISO3471 certified enclosure. Complementing cab comfort is the ride itself, which is smooth and predictable with an extended wheelbase that helps smooth out bumps, optimized all-wheel independent suspension with 8.1" of travel to absorb rough terrain, and strong and natural feeling hydraulic disc brakes all around that provide solid and secure stopping power. Off-road Terrainability and Handling The Viking VI also draws on Yamaha's advanced technologies including the Ultramatic transmission, On-Command four-wheel drive and Electric Power Steering (EPS). The Ultramatic fully-automatic transmission incorporates a CVT system with centrifugal clutch that maintains constant belt tension (no slamming belts or jerky transitions) and the Ultramatic system features a sprag clutch that engages natural-feeling engine braking, which is a key component when navigating tight turns and steep hills – especially with passengers and cargo. The On-Command system puts the driver in control of engaging one of three settings: 2WD, 4WD or 4WD with a fully locked front differential, simply by turning the rotary dial on the left side of the dash. Precise steering is key, no matter the occupancy or load. Steering assist from EPS helps lighten the effort and reduce fatigue especially over long periods of operation, with heavy loads and in rough terrain. All-new Maxxis Big Horn tires were designed exclusively for the Viking VI with aggressive tread patterns and pressure setting optimized for the VI. "We really look for a lot of comfort from our tire—the way it flexs and gives it a nice cushy feel to the driver and passenger," says Patrick Biolsi, Yamaha ATV Testing Supervisor. Proven Powerful Engine The Viking VI pulls power from a 686cc 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, SOHC, single-cylinder, 4-valve, fuel-injected engine proven on Viking and optimized for the Viking VI. The engine gets a redesigned intake system, fuel injection and ignition advance mapping, plus changes in the clutch specification to power up for the larger platform and achieve strong, smooth power and acceleration from extremely low speeds up through to the high-speed range. Ultimately, it is the most powerful 4x4 engine Yamaha has ever produced, and it makes plenty of power to handle the Viking VI at maximum capacity. Real World Tough and Utility The Viking VI engine is positioned under the vehicle's rear cargo bed allowing for easy access and simple maintenance. Its large capacity air intake system, which contributes to the engine's strong power delivery, is also easy to access and maintain with a reusable, large-capacity foam air filter positioned under the middle rear seat. It is easily accessible from the cabin without tools to clean or change in the field or shop. The large flat rear cargo bed is made of steel, designed for excellent load capacity, and is rated to carry up to 600 pounds of cargo. At 14-cubic-feet of cargo space with no wheel wells, a full pallet fits flush and the bed has standard tie down hooks and one-touch tilt assist. A standard two-inch receiver hitch out back tows an additional 1,500 pounds. Unique to the category, the Viking VI incorporates steel skid plates across the entire undercarriage: front-to-back and side-to-side, and the chassis is swept up on each side to reduce potential for friction in rough terrain. Also unique to the Viking line is row crop friendly track width. The Viking VI comes in Hunter Green, Red and Realtree AP HD camo. MSRP for standard versions starts at $12,799 for non-EPS and $13,799 for EPS models. A Viking VI EPS Special Edition in Matte Silver with Soft Suntop comes with an MSRP of $14,999 and incorporates aluminum wheels, overfenders, mud flaps, a soft sun top, a sealed storage compartment under the left rear seat and Yamaha's bed rail accessory mounts.

Woman accused of pushing husband off cliff to be arraigned on murder charges
HELENA, Mont. – A 22-year-old Montana woman accused of pushing her new husband off a cliff to his death in Glacier National Park is being arraigned on murder charges.
Jordan Linn Graham of Kalispell is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Missoula on Friday afternoon.
A federal grand jury indicted Graham Thursday on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and making a false statement.
Prosecutors say she first lied about 25-year-old Cody Lee Johnson's death then later confessed to pushing him off a cliff near a popular trail after the two argued on July 7.
Johnson and Graham had been married for eight days after a two-year courtship. Investigators say Graham told a friend she was having second thoughts about her new marriage and planned to confront Johnson about it.

Festival newbie Aluna Francis of the duo AlunaGeorge didn't act like a rookie as she hit the Gobi stage Sunday afternoon at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
The tall, London-based singer hopped around on stage, igniting the crowd with hits like "White Noise," "Lost & Found," and "You Know You Like It."
Also, true to her fashionista ways, Francis sported a see-through black shirt with gold embellishments with a sheer black bra and hot pants that added to her swag on the stage.
During the nearly hourlong set, she also performed a crowd-pleasing cover of "This Is How We Do It," the song made popular by Montell Jordan in 1995.
During one of the verses, she sang, "Coachella does it like nobody does," sparking screams from fans.
"She's (expletive) amazing," said Aston Low of Australia, who was dancing in a circle during the AlunaGeorge set. "It's the best we heard all day."
